WEBSITE UI/UX CASE STUDY

BEFORE (Old Design) - the previous pages provided detailed product and company information but lacked a clear visual hierarchy and emotional connection to the brand’s precision-driven identity.

BEFORE (Old Design) - photography lacked visual details, colors are off, font choice is blocky and layout is cluttered without “breathing room”

BEFORE (Old Design) - photography lacked visual details, colors are off, font choice doesn’t match visuals with too much emphasis on “smoke” aspect instead of focusing on the product.

BEFORE (Old Design) - Main visual too large. You have to scroll further down to see selection of models. Photography is clear and sharp, but focuses too much on the product and not on the emotional connection of clientele.

AFTER (Redesign)- Redesign focuses on modernizing the layout, simplifying navigation, and introducing visual storytelling that reflects Canik’s craftsmanship and innovation. 3 specific choices were made: Align visuals with brand tone, rewrite story to emotionally hook customer and modernize font choices to be consistant throughout.

AFTER (Redesign)- I focus on sharp visuals: photography is tack sharp with clear layout intention. Font choice is modern and spaced correctly with a clear call to action.

AFTER (Redesign)- My new redesign focuses on sharp visuals: photography is tack sharp with clear layout intention. Font choice is modern with consistant Headline and tagline with a clear call to action.

AFTER (Redesign)- My new redesign focuses on target audience connection with clear choice models to choose from without having to scroll downward. Firearm choices are clearly identified to easily navigate between firearm preference.
