E-commerce redesign
Project

In this project I redesigned a full e-commerce website and added new features such as payment flows, private and business accounts and subscription options. I also created a full design system and conducted research using multiple methods.

Designing the selling point

The website offers home-cooked meals that are ready-to-heat. Their main selling point is how much time the meals are saving you, but by ordering through the website, you hit a wall at the checkout. If you can't finish your order, how fast is it really saving you time?

Subscription settings and overview

cart & checkout
Challenge

You weren’t able to see your order summary and you couldn't complete your order through the website. The website also lacked information about what would happen next.

Solutions

A side-cart was created and became accessible through the navigation bar on every page. I also designed a full checkout flow with payment methods through Stripe. The purchase flow followed a recognisable and intuative E-commerce standard, and helps the user to complete their order step by step.

Challenge

The website was made from the company’s perspective, not the user’s. The old menus were sorted by the suppliers, which didn't give the user any clues on what to find under each menu.

Solutions

The three separated menus were remade into two menus - one for all individual meals and one for premade meal kits that are tailored for different needs, such as The Vegetarian Kit or The Family-Friendly Kit. A filter functionality was added for different diets, types of meat and allergies.

Accounts & subscriptions
challenge

Before, the subscriptions were handled manually and required a personal contact with the company, which made it inefficient to subscribe to the meals.

Tailored solutions
Challenge

There were no tailored solutions to meet the user's biggest pain point - lack of time. Instead, the flow was slowing the user down through non-intuative flows and a lack of payment methods. Despite this, the biggest selling point for Yum Foods is that their ready-to-heat meals saves the customer time. Therefore, the website needs to meet this expectation.

Solutions
  • The homepage gained useful information, CTA-buttons and sections that nudges the user to navigate to the desired destination.

  • Personas were created based on customer needs and pain points.

  • I created a quick-purchase section on the first page to meet the main user pain point - lack of time. Directly on the homepage, it offers tailored meal-kits with a variation of meals within their preferred diet, such as ''vegetarian meal-kit'' or ''halal meal-kit''. They choose the amount of meals they want, and just like that, they don't need to worry about what's for dinner the upcoming days.
