Good things take a moment...
Challenges
- The current website was out of date and did not align with the current product
- It lacked relevance to the target audience and didn't represent the company's core values

Outcome
The client reported an increase and sales and lower bounce rate. The new website was faster, more accessible, more visually cohesive and most importantly resonated with the core values of the company.
How the conveyor belt concept evolved
Some examples of finalized page designs:
We revamped the navigation to make it more relevant to the industries the product worked with as well as the user persona roles
I defined and documented the styles and reusable components and so that the team could easily refer back to it

"We worked with Katie for a full 'white canvas' reimagining of the SafetyChain website. From the first meeting through multiple iterations, she was thoughtful in her approach, took the time to understand what was most important to us, and worked seamlessly with stakeholders from executives to developers. We launched to great success and I'd recommend her work to any colleague."
