Project Summary

The Opportunity

To enhance engagement and drive purchases among new users, we designed and developed a custom website application to provide users with an effortless way find the right knife based upon their lifestyle and needs.

The Strategy

Our solution needed to strike a balance between gathering sufficient information for accurate recommendations and minimizing user friction. To accomplish this balance, we implemented a multi-step approach. Our process included identifying key questions focused on user needs, employing progressive disclosure to present options in a manageable way, and incorporating visual aids to simplify choices for the user.
