Redesigning Gainsborough Showers: From Outdated to Outstanding
Working with Gainsborough Showers on their website redesign was an exciting opportunity to help give new life to a brand that’s all about turning everyday showers into something special. Their old website had served its time but was ready for a modern makeover - and we were up for the challenge!
Clean, Modern, and Luxurious
Gainsborough Showers wanted their new site to feel fresh and contemporary, with a touch of luxury. The brief was simple: no complicated backend work, minimal content updates, and a sleek design that reflects their brand while standing confidently on its own.
Making It Happen
We approached the project with a focus on balance: ensuring the site had its own unique feel while complementing Gainsborough Showers’ overall brand identity.
Key touches included:
- Sophisticated design details like hover effects and smooth animations to create an engaging, polished experience.
- Simplified content management to make the transition efficient and straightforward.
- A clean, intuitive layout that prioritises usability without sacrificing style.
A Closer Look at the Redesign
- Better Quality Product Imagery: The new design replaces simple product images with lifestyle photography, showcasing the product in a real bathroom setting.
- Trustpilot Reviews Front and Centre: Trust elements, such as the Trustpilot review score, are now positioned higher on the page.
- Refined Navigation Elements: Clickable icons like the hamburger menu and shopping basket are now more prominent.
- Improved Add to Basket Button: The updated design features a more visually appealing and functional "Add to Basket" button, aligning with modern UX best practices.
- Streamlined Design: The new layout removes unnecessary text and clutter, such as SKUs and generic review prompts.
- Enhanced Typography and Colour Scheme: With updated fonts and a more sophisticated colour palette, the overall aesthetic feels fresh, modern, and professional.
These are just some of the changes we've implemented to better represents Gainsborough Showers' brand identity while improving the shopping experience for customers.
The Finished Product
The new website is a complete refresh with a modern feel. It's professional and easy to navigate. Gainsborough Showers now has an online presence that matches the quality and care they put into their products.
Highlights of the redesign:
- A sleek new look with subtle animations and rollovers
- A luxurious but practical feel that resonates with their customers.
- An efficient process that kept things straightforward but delivered big results.
