The existing website and Amazon presence lacked compelling product presentation, consistent visual identity, and strategic positioning. Product photography was generic, marketing graphics were inconsistent, and the overall digital experience didn't convey the brand's premium positioning.
Key Problems
- →Inconsistent product presentation across channels
- →Lack of premium brand storytelling in photography
- →Limited visual hierarchy in e-commerce layouts
