UX Strategy & Design

After compiling all of the learnings from the Discovery phase, we jumped into a wireframe audit. For this we took a look at the wireframes that had been created and assessed them based off of the vision for the site, the target audience, and the site goals. We made suggestions for adjustments to align them better with the overall vision and worked with Lavi to put together a design strategy based off of the wireframes.

The new site vision had a lot of complexities, and the designs had to be crafted in a way that allowed for maximum flexibility and customization. Our design team had the challenge of not only designing pages to be visually pleasing, but also keeping different client CMS management use cases in mind to make sure the designs worked for every foreseen situation.

Build

The build for Lavi's website was a stimulating challenge from a development perspective. A key part of the vision for the redesigned site was a flexible page builder, where Lavi could easily piece together pages within the CMS for different product categories and industries using the thoughtfully crafted designs. The carefully planned designs assured consistency across all these custom-built pages, while enabling Lavi to build unique pages on demand.

Another highlight of the development phase was programming the product management. The products that Lavi offered on the website were all highly customizable for their customers. For example, one of their bestsellers, the retractable belt stanchion, allowed the customer to select the belt length, base style, post finish, and belt color. With all the different customization options, this "one" product had the possibility of up to 1,088 different SKUs!

Some other functionality highlights were a customer portal for applying individual customer pricing, an international version of the site translated into Spanish, and an elaborate shipping algorithm that calculated shipping costs based off of the total weight, box or pallet dimensions, and shipping destination (unique pricing was used by country). The new site was built upon a custom .NET platform, which gave Lavi the optimum amount of flexibility and customization within the CMS.
