Discovery
The process began with in-depth workshops with the client to truly understand their value propositions as a marketplace where vendors can feel proud about their business and buyers can enjoy a fun and energizing shopping experience. Pyxl then helped Proudly develop a brand personality that focuses on a sense of belonging and lived experiences, which inspired the website’s visuals and user journey.
UX/UI and Design
At the heart of the Proudly brand is a commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The Pyxl team helped develop UI components of the website platform and marketplace that focuses on fostering both online and community interactions between vendors and buyers. By including a designated vendor story section, the elements were designed to promote not only the products but also highlight the vendor on a more personal level.
The website wireframes and sitemap were designed with easy navigation to ensure a seamless shopping experience while staying true to Proudly’s brand personality.
Custom website design elements using rainbow themes were incorporated throughout, providing a vibrant and captivating way for users to discover unique products and services. Every component of the website framework was developed in Figma to ensure future web development of the website is smooth and easy.
