Kandi were approached to design and build a working prototype for a new fashion discount site named Shoeaholics. The design would have to utilise an existing e-commerce platform and deliver content in an editorial style synonymous with fashion magazines to a target audience of women aged 16-30. As we were working around an existing e-commerce platform we ensured that the design elements were considered and achievable within a challenging time-frame. The working prototype meant the web development team worked closely with the client to ensure their teams could achieve the functionality. We were also involved in the copywriting and editorial tone of voice for the site and created the strapline ‘never enough!’

We were asked to design and build an interactive online and instore digital lookbook with added functionality across multiple platforms. Designed to be deployed in-store and online we created the Spring/summer 2012 look-book to cover the full product catalogue and highlight the key trends for both men and women. The site had to be easy to update utilising the client’s existing stock database.

The project was therefore based on building the system in Javascript in order for the lookbook to be optimised to view on mobile devices and devices that do not support Flash. We built and designed it around a responsive framework so that one core system could supply information to all of types of devices, in effect providing a mobile web app that can be deployed online or offline in-store. Again our web development team built a custom content management system to automate database conversions and deploy product updates.
