ARANZ (Website)
Project Overview
The Aranz E-commerce Website is a comprehensive online platform dedicated to showcasing and selling a range of high-quality coffee products offered by the Aranz brand. With a focus on coffee beans, flavored grounds & powder, and coffee equipment, the website aims to provide a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience for coffee enthusiasts. The design of the website incorporates a visually appealing brown color scheme, reflecting the warmth and richness of coffee.
The Challenge
Designing an e-commerce website for Aranz comes with several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure a seamless user experience and effective representation of the brand. Some of the key design challenges include:
Visual Cohesion: Creating a visually cohesive website with a brown color scheme can be challenging as it requires careful consideration of shades, tones, and contrast to ensure readability and aesthetic appeal. Maintaining consistency across different sections, product pages, and promotional banners is essential to establish a strong brand identity.
Product Showcase: Presenting a diverse range of coffee products, including beans, flavored grounds, powder, and equipment, requires a well-organized and visually appealing product showcase. Ensuring that each product is showcased with clear and attractive imagery, accurate descriptions, and relevant details can be a challenge to effectively capture the essence and quality of each item.
Navigation and Search: Designing intuitive navigation and search functionality is crucial to help customers easily find and explore the desired products. Creating a logical and streamlined navigation structure, implementing filters, and optimizing search algorithms can be challenging to strike the right balance between simplicity and depth of product discovery.
The Solution
To address the design challenges, the following solutions are implemented for Aranz's e-commerce website:
Visual Cohesion: Carefully selecting complementary shades of brown, utilizing consistent typography, and ensuring proper contrast between text and background elements create a visually cohesive website.
Product Showcase: Utilizing high-quality product images, concise yet informative descriptions, and an organized layout enables an effective presentation of Aranz's coffee products, highlighting their unique characteristics.
Navigation and Search: Implementing a user-friendly navigation menu with intuitive categories, incorporating filters for precise product refinement, and optimizing the search functionality enhance the ease of finding desired products.
Discovery
In the UX discovery phase for Aranz's e-commerce website, my focus is on understanding the target audience, their preferences, and their shopping behaviors. Through user research methods such as surveys & interviews, we aim to uncover valuable insights. We explore their expectations regarding product information & navigation. By gaining a deep understanding of their needs and pain points, we can inform the design decisions and create a user-centered experience that caters to their specific requirements, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and driving conversions

Wireframe
The wireframing process for Aranz's e-commerce website involves creating low-fidelity visual representations of key pages and features. This includes the homepage, product listing, product detail, shopping cart, and checkout. By focusing on the layout, content structure, and functionality, wireframes help identify potential usability issues and ensure a clear and intuitive user experience. The wireframes act as a blueprint for the design and development stages, enabling efficient collaboration and iteration before moving on to the visual design phase.
