The Redesign

A New Visual Direction for an Existing Beauty Store

Cynthia Kankeu asked Tech Striker to rethink the Dr. Kanks ecommerce experience, bringing a more consistent visual identity and clearer shopping journey to a store focused on plant-based skincare, body oils and hair care.

Our scope was UI/UX design in Figma and Adobe Photoshop, with desktop and mobile layouts for all seven pages.

The Challenge

Bringing the Store Experience Together

A Consistent Identity

Fonts and colors needed a more cohesive direction.

More Even Spacing

Alignment and spacing varied across the existing pages.

A Clearer Journey

The layout made products and information harder to find.

Useful Product Details

Product information needed a clearer reading order.

Mobile Usability

The smaller-screen experience needed dedicated attention.

A Polished Presentation

The store needed a visual system that connected its pages.

Our Approach

From Brand Direction to Page Design

  1. Understand the Brand

    Review the beauty and skincare context and customer expectations.

  2. Review References

    Use the client's references to establish the preferred direction.

  3. Define the System

    Bring font pairing, color and theme direction together.

  4. Rework the Hierarchy

    Organize sections, spacing and product information in the designs.

  5. Design Both Views

    Create desktop and mobile layouts for every page in scope.

Desktop Before & After

The Same Brand. A New Shopping Experience.

The Homepage: From Promotion to a Clearer Introduction

The new design separates navigation, visual product categories and the main message. A calmer hierarchy gives the imagery and shopping action their own space.

Best Sellers: More Structure Around Every Product

Consistent image areas, benefit-led information and individual shopping buttons replace the less structured product presentation.

Product Experience

Make the Details Easier to Explore

The product-page design brings the image gallery, benefits, price, size and finish options into a clearer sequence before the purchasing action. The aim was to help shoppers understand the product before choosing.
