As with all our customers, we keep communication and website updates flowing (pun intended), but when we heard a brand refresh and new labels were in production, we knew there was a chance to get creative and take the website design further.
A new home page was designed to reflect the current product lines. Taking the updated label designs as inspiration, a variety of texture and pattern backgrounds were used along with subtle hover animations that zoom into the area of interest.
Over the last year additional pages were added to the site using our super easy to use CMS, Alfred. The website was always about the buying journey, so we took this opportunity to reduce the number of pages in the menu to focus on the wonderful products. we managed to combine several pages by designing a brand new Our Story page.
To keep the theme running from the new home page design, the product menu uses the same background textures and patterns. Users jump between categories and products with a menu that always matches the screen being viewed.
New colours and typography have been implemented to compliment the brand update to give the site a refreshed look and feel.

Towards the end of May 2019, Google began making small changes to how search results on mobile appear. What was changed? A new black label for ads and favicons added to organic search results. But what do these changes mean?
Blog posts and articles about the prevalence of voice search tend to include the statistic that 50% of all online searches will be conducted by voice by 2020. It’s an over-used and potentially over-hyped statistic that is dropped in here, there and everywhere. Look, we just dropped it in without you even noticing!
The web design industry never stands still and digital agencies like us are constantly adapting to make sure we deliver the latest and greatest websites. I personally love the fast-paced, dynamic environment but it does come with risk. If you are not in the digital world day in and day out, or fail to keep up with the progress, it is very easy to fall into a web design trap. Here are my top 5 web design traps I see companies and agencies alike falling into.
