EverGreen emerged from identifying a gap in the online plant retail market, where existing platforms often overwhelm new plant parents. We focus on providing essential care information with an intuitive e-commerce solution.
Our goal is to create a comprehensive website featuring product catalogs, company information, and a streamlined purchasing system. The platform will deliver an intuitive experience that helps customers explore offerings and make informed decisions.
The initial phase focused on website functionality and content architecture, encompassing product listings, company information, and user feedback systems. After consolidating our style guide, I led the design of the home page, company profile, and checkout experience.
We established a systematic approach to component development, implementing responsive design and consistent naming conventions throughout. Working collaboratively via GitKraken, I focused on the product listing and contact pages, while my partner developed the home and company sections. This version control system enabled seamless daily integration of our work.
We developed and curated all website content, including properly cited images, text, and design elements. Working collaboratively, we ensured consistent styling across all responsive pages, testing thoroughly across Chrome and Edge browsers from iPhone SE to desktop dimensions, targeting completion by March 2nd.
Upon completion of the project, my partner and I are pleased with the contributions we made. However, we recognize that there is still room for improvement and would have made further enhancements given more time. The website showcases our company's mission, values, and products/services in a visually appealing and user-friendly manner. It also includes easy-to-use navigation, relevant and informative content, and interactive elements that engage visitors and encourage them to explore the site further.
This project pushed me beyond my UX design comfort zone into full-stack development, presenting an exciting opportunity for growth. This hands-on development experience strengthened my ability to create more feasible design solutions and collaborate effectively with development teams.
