Challenge, solution & features
How we approached this build, what we built, and what shipped.
1The challenge
The company specializes in providing custom merchandise, including business cards, flyers, and signage, to a varied clientele. The traditional approach to ordering involved multiple steps and lacked user-friendly design options. Customers faced challenges in navigating the website, leading to frustration and abandoned orders.
The primary goals were to enhance the online user experience, simplify the ordering flow, and increase customer engagement through streamlined product offerings.
2What we built
Cmsmart provided comprehensive solutions that transformed the ordering process, focusing on user accessibility and efficient workflows.
The implementation involved several key phases, starting with an assessment of the existing website, followed by user experience design, integration of new functionalities, and user testing to ensure seamless operations.
This transformation captured every stage of the customer journey—from inquiry to artwork submission, production, and fulfillment. Alongside Cmsmart's enhancements, the business now boasts a well-structured portfolio that showcases its diverse services effectively.
