Fiksuruoka.

Our design team was lucky to work with the marketing department on the client’s side. Riku, Lauri, and Henni had already conducted user and marketing research, which led to very clear requirements and KPI’s.

The results from their user testing were conclusive: for our first stage, we were going to focus on three main areas:

• The largest issue to address was the fact that average customers spent too much time on the website before checking out.
• User engagement research showed that most customers were using their phones to order from Fiksuruoka, which meant our redesign would have to be mobile-first.
• Finally, the company was hoping for a refreshing facelift on the UI and general visuals.
• Conducted 6 design audits of the implementation.

Our first step was to conduct a UX audit together with the marketing team.

Insights from this exercise were combined with the additional supplementary research that the team had conducted. As a result, Fiksu’s marketing specialists were able to provide their first product reenvisioning in the form of sketched wireframes. These wireframes followed the requirements for a mobile-first approach, which we absolutely supported.

And, since we saw that many people use Fiksuruoka on the go, or simply prefer mobile phones to big screens, we wanted to focus our efforts on satisfying those needs first.

In order to give the website a cleaner look, we came up with a fresh UI concept that respected the old branding, in order to remain easily recognizable by the loyal customers, while making sure that it would appeal more broadly to newcomers.

Along the road, we added colorful gradients, secondary accent colors, and colorful illustrations. This approach gave the website a friendly and joyful appeal, which very much aligned with the branding strategy.

The product details information was hidden on a separate page, which needed more clicks for the user to view them.

Thus, in order to eliminate the number of clicks needed to research and buy a product, we allowed for the product details to expand within the listing instead of directing the user to a new page.

The checkout process was simple unless the user needed to edit their shopping cart. To simplify the existing flow, we designed the shopping cart to be editable via its own slide-out panel. This move vastly simplified the overall process.

We integrated best practices from gamification design to reward customers for brand loyalty and dedicated shopping.

We decided to custom design several illustrations in order to further promote the company’s eco-friendly messaging.

After the initial designs were finished, we remained at our client’s side for as long as they needed.

After all, simply handing over the assets does not mean a true designer’s work is finished. Sketch files, svg illustrations, and animation data were only a portion of the full value we wanted to provide to Fiksuruoka. With this in mind, we audited both the web and mobile front-end programming to make sure that the designs were implemented correctly.

We also continue to help them identify and solve new UX issues that arise.

Since we modernized Fiksuruoka’s brand visuals, we needed to roll out the same approach for other designs in the company. We are a design agency, after all, and once we start working on a project, we make sure that our clients maintain an excellent style and taste in all their designs.

In Fiksuruoka’s case, it means we also worked on:

• Pitch presentations
• Illustrations for marketing and videos
