About the client

Let's introduce our client, a beauty brand with a 135-year history on the market. The brand owners build their businesses around that idea to give women the opportunity to both earn and learn as beauty advisers. That is not only a chance to attain economic freedom and make a career in the beauty industry but also to enhance their own health and beauty with brand products. This philosophy continues to define the company's spirit today. The beauty collections are still full of a diverse range of scientifically tested, clinically proven, and innovative best-selling products for everyday use.

About the product

A DTC store that provides clients with world-class beauty and personal care brand products today encompass highly effective formulas, undergo animal-free testing, and include clean beauty collections that consistently deliver on their promises. Started its journey 75 years ago as a cosmetics manufacturer, today the brand has evolved into a global online ecommerce market with a diverse range of cosmetics and personal care products for every client's needs.

These days, the company has partnered with Korea's premier cosmetics brand, allowing customers to try innovative beauty collections that have become a vital part of people's daily lives. The idea of development a new website emerged as a necessity to rejuvenate the brand and launch a new project. Our team joined the project immediately to build new features and functionalities for the website's best-possible improvements.

Challenge overview

We have provided e-commerce development support and consultations for the brand, and our partner faced some deadline delays on an important project. The manager of the company realized that the project deadlines would not be met. Therefore, he asked to join the project and help complete it within the required timeframe.

The client aimed to build a brand new digital flagship store that delivers the brand identity, boosts conversion, and encourages customers to return again and again. Thus, they needed the assistance of a software developer company specializing in enhancing the website's user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) to meet user expectations and achieve an appealing visual design. Our goal was to ensure that the visual and interactive aspects of the website or application were not only user-friendly but also aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient. The DigitalSuits development team also needed to integrate the website with e-commerce and SMM channels to create a captivating digital experience that increases conversion and lives long in the memory. It was challenging to have a tight deadline and cooperate with new team members, but we successfully managed the project.
