2What we built
CLASSYMAG offers a distinct line of magazine-style photobooks, blending photographic artistry with user-friendly design features. Customers can create custom albums framed as luxurious magazines, allowing them to present memories in an aesthetically pleasing format. The service is geared towards individuals looking for a unique way to compile their photos, such as wedding couples and avid travelers.
Before partnering with CMSMART, CLASSYMAG faced challenges with its online ordering process, which needed to be simplified for a broader audience's understanding. The goal was to create a seamless experience for customers from selecting a product to submitting photos for customization.
CMSMART worked closely with CLASSYMAG to enhance its e-commerce capabilities, implementing an intuitive online design tool that allows users to choose from various templates like WEDDINGMAG, TRAVELMAG, and DESIGNMAG. This upgrade not only improved the discoverability of the products offered but also optimized the catalog structure, making it easier for potential buyers to navigate through different styles and options.
The collaboration took place through a series of structured phases, starting with an analysis of CLASSYMAG's existing platform, followed by strategic recommendations regarding user experience design and catalog organization. Afterward, CMSMART implemented the solutions while ensuring alignment with CLASSYMAG's brand aesthetics.
The new system has harmonized various aspects of CLASSYMAG's workflow—quote generation, artwork submission, design proofing, and fulfillment have all been streamlined, aligning with the company's commitment to delivering high-quality photobooks in a timely manner.
