Ghirardelli Chocolate
Responsive Web Design
Ghirardelli asked Propane Studio to redesign their site to sell the 'Romance of Chocolate'.
My team found numerous ways to deliver, including a search option that let customers find their ideal chocolates via the flavors that they loved.
Ghirardelli Website
A redesign of Ghirardelli's main site to drive more ecommerce and modernize for use on phones and tablets.
Creative direction included emphasis on the indulgent sensory aspects of chocolate itself rather than the company's long history.
Home Page Wireframe & Design
Resizable regions represent key content and promotions across different formats.
Simple navigation emphasizes shopping and engagement.
Role-Based Personas
Role-based limited personas created with little time and information still proved very useful.
Explorer Persona - Path Through the Site
The explorer is curious about the history and techniques of chocolate making, and is not simply looking for a purchase.
Gifter Persona - Path Through the Site
The gifter persona is thinking of getting chocolate as a gift for a friend or loved one.
