Overview
Alitex approached us looking for a design for a fun, quirky and heavily visual website that would communicate their personality and introduce ecommerce functionality for the first time. The site had to inspire potential clients by showcasing how their greenhouses look and function in situ, in order to appeal to their customer base.
the solution
We crafted a website embodying Alitex’s brand personality, employing a clean, contemporary layout with strategic white spaces for a light, breathable feel – aligning seamlessly with their brand assets. Using sans-serif and hand-rendered typefaces, we added a touch of luxury and elegance. Embracing Alitex’s organic, family-rooted personality, hand-rendered sketches were seamlessly integrated.
The visual-centric website highlights Alitex’s stunning greenhouses, conservatories, rooflights, and atriums. Lifestyle photography not only showcases functionality but also emotionally resonates with potential customers.
In a notable shift from their previous site, we introduced e-commerce functionality, enabling seamless browsing, selection, and information gathering. Mobile optimization ensures a consistent user experience across all devices.
