About Us

The menu of the page presented a challenge, as it initially overwhelmed users upon opening, obstructing their view of other page elements. To address this issue, we conducted a card sort activity, wherein we had five users categorize the titles into three main groups. This approach simplified and decluttered the page, enhancing the user experience.

In the previous version of the website, the main content in the body section was limited to just a single image. This prompted us to revamp the homepage by introducing various sections where products could be showcased, allowing users to easily navigate and explore the different offerings available in the store. Additionally, we included a dedicated area for customer reviews, enhancing the authenticity of the shopping experience.

Home Page

We introduced a new "About Us" page to consolidate store information that was previously scattered across various pages. This central location enhances user convenience, providing a comprehensive and streamlined source of details for a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.







We added a section titled "Our Customers," encouraging users to share images of themselves using our products. Additionally, we integrated curated photos from different platforms where users have tagged us. The goal is to foster a sense of familiarity and homeliness, creating a more personalized and community-driven experience on the webpage.

On this page, we initially encountered minimal issues, with the aim of optimizing the user's activity and delivering the best experience. The menu was revamped, more space was allocated for prominent product images, and the ability to add items directly to the shopping cart, or favorites, was introduced. Additionally, we implemented a convenient filtering feature to streamline the product-finding process.

Products / Specific

The changes on this page were minimal as there were no significant issues or user struggles to address. The primary concern was the menu, which we successfully resolved to prevent user confusion.


We introduced an area for product specifications with a drop-down, a dedicated section for user reviews related to the specific toy, and the ability for users to leave their own reviews. Finally, we implemented a pop-up confirmation for product acquisition, along with the option to adjust the quantity of the selected item.
