Result.
To address the issues, I created a user-friendly e-commerce platform that enhanced the user experience and aligned with 1800 Spirits' brand identity. Key improvements included:The old shopping list only allowed adding ingredients in alphabetical order without quantities. The new version includes:
• Streamlined Checkout: Simplified the process by reducing steps, making it faster and reducing cart abandonment.
• Scalable Design System: Developed a design system with consistent typography, color schemes, and UI components to support future growth.
• Enhanced Product Discovery: Redesigned product pages for intuitive navigation, with clear filters, descriptions, and high-quality images to improve user engagement.
