Challenge 

The original Promotion Products website was cluttered, outdated, and difficult to navigate. With a wide catalogue of promotional items and a diverse B2B customer base, the site needed to deliver a frictionless experience that would guide users quickly from product discovery to enquiry or purchase.

Key issues identified:

  • Overwhelming visual density and text-heavy layout

  • Poor mobile responsiveness

  • Outdated visual design not reflective of the brand’s reliability or scale

  • Lack of clear calls-to-action and prioritised user flows

  • Complex IA that buried popular products

  • SEO and performance issues

Heuristic Evaluation Findings

Old Website Issues

Cluttered Hero Section: Overlapping elements with competing CTAs.
Inconsistent Typography: Multiple font styles and sizes causing visual dissonance.
Navigation Confusion: Overloaded menu with unclear categorization.
Lack of Trust Signals: Minimal display of certifications or warranties.
Non-Responsive Design: Poor mobile adaptability affecting user experience

Project Goals

  • Improve overall usability and accessibility
  • Enhance visual hierarchy and product discoverability
  • Modernise brand presentation to increase trust and engagement

    Improve mobile and responsive performance
  • Align UX with the buying behaviour of B2B customers
