The previous design suffered from inconsistent navigation and a broken checkout that produced a steady stream of abandoned carts. This redesign fixed both and delivered a seamless shopping experience from browsing to checkout.

The challenge

The existing platform had significant structural usability issues. Inconsistent navigation made it difficult for users to discover products, while a confusing and unreliable checkout flow resulted in frequent cart abandonment. These issues undermined user confidence and had a direct impact on conversion rates.

Whisky Categories
A collection section designed for quick category browsing, balancing product photography with a premium editorial layout.

The approach

I began by analyzing friction points throughout the customer journey to identify where and why users were abandoning their purchases. Based on these insights, I redesigned the information architecture to create a consistent and predictable navigation experience across the site, and completely reworked the checkout flow by simplifying each step and removing the obstacles that led to cart abandonment.

Order confirmation and tracking screens that complete the purchase journey with status, totals, and next actions.

The outcome

The redesign resolved the identified usability issues and delivered a consistent shopping experience from product discovery through checkout. It significantly reduced cart abandonment and improved the overall purchasing experience.
