Overview.

Strongfooting is a footwear manufacturing company. They are a young and vibrant team of engineers that produces fashionable footwear for individuals & corporate clients.

They wanted a website to communicate their brand values and also allow them to upload their products and get paid online – an eCommerce website.

Problem statement.

Majority of eCommerce website sliders often contained promos & pixelated images of their products all mashed together. The client specifically mentioned he didn’t want this, he sent a list of website sliders to avoid.

Thanks to my past experience with modern sliders. I was tasked to design the hero section as per the client’s recommendations

Note: I worked in a team of 4, and we’ve previously worked on numerous websites in the past, so collaboration was smooth.

Design process.

Moodboard

I started the design process by creating the moodboard using Invison. My team had already gone through the requirement gathering phase, so I had the colors, typography and product images ready to go.

Inspiration was drawn from different industries’ websites because I didn’t want to limit my inspiration to just fashion or footwear brands.

Ideation

The Brand Identity already featured a gradient (Linear). So I conceptualized the Hero section as having a form of gradient. I tested out different ideas and made decisions based on usability scalability (by our engineers), and inspiration to go a different gradient route – Radial.

I converted the Hex colors to HSL and used different variations of lightness to find the perfect fit. After which I combined them with different product images to get different slides.

Prototypes.

I created prototypes for the homepage sliders as well as individual pages. I also visualized the menu with the sliders & headers

Interactive Prototypes

To ensure proper implementation of the sliders, interactive prototypes were screen recorded and the time limit for the animations was documented and sent across to the engineers.
