Our approach
colora.be (B2C)
During the Covid crisis BOSS paints has seen a gigantic spike in online sales on the colora.be platform. The goal of this website is on the one hand to be an easy-to-use e-commerce platform, and on the other side a place to inspire people looking to renovate. It also needed to be an extension of the quality expert advice colora stores are so well-known for. Finally, the site needed to breathe creativity and aesthetics.
A customer journey and persona exercise were followed by some iterations of wireframes. Next, we applied a creative graphical design in line with the colora brand. Our enthusiasm of the new designs was shared by the team at BOSS paints and was decisively confirmed during a run of user testing. Users found the new website beautiful, user friendly and inspiring. “It makes that you want to renovate some more rooms!”
