Botanical Bookshop – eCommerce
Our Client
Located at the iconic Australian National Botanic Gardens, the Botanical Bookshop contains beautiful products inspired by Australia’s diverse flora and fauna. Their extensive product range includes Australian boutique art, books on Australian nature, gardening supplies, unique souvenirs and more.
Their Challenge
Botanical Bookshop’s extensive product range made it difficult for site visitors to find the products they were looking for. Their interesting and diverse stock was not getting enough sales due to poor user experience. The Botanical Bookshop needed a fresh website that was designed with their branding in mind, with a well-structured layout that would direct users to exactly what they are interested in.
Our Approach
Client Relations
We ensured our full understanding of the Botanical Bookshop’s business requirements. We worked with them to improve inventory management by finding a solution that would suit the business best. We openly communicated with the stakeholders at every stage to ensure all requirements were met.
- Understanding of target audience and business objectives
- Ongoing open communication via meetings, email, and phone calls
- Regular project management updates
- Project planning advice and technical support
