Problems of style
The previous website version had several key flaws:
— Chaotic fonts on banners and menus;
— Too simple colors (black and white) did not reveal the true values of the Shabo brand;
— Overloaded banners with a lot of text diverted attention from the main product.

New colors and structure
We chose more noble shades of gray, black and burgundy as the main colors, which are associated with status, loyalty to traditions and have something in common with the main type of product — red wine.
Homepage
We structured the information on the homepage and unified the format and style to emphasize the brand identity.
Category listing page
After the site redesign, the category listing page includes a product preview with the main features and important details that appear when you hover over the item. Also, we added a search by the most popular user queries according to analytics.
Product page
We prioritized and structured the information, and added visualization elements to make text information more readable. We also added useful cross-sell and upsell tools with discounts in a single ecosystem to increase the average check.
The result of the redesign
The new Shabo website design has a much more modern and fresh look that better communicates the brand and improves the user experience. This concept allows the brand to better develop its own spirits ecosystem and build a loyal community of Shabo product connoisseurs through the website.
