Background

PUL Technologies, a leading company in the medical equipment industry, embarked on a strategic transition from a purely B2B model to a B2B + B2C model.

Recognizing the growing demand for their products from individual consumers, PUL Technologies sought to refresh and rebuild their website to better align with this new business direction. This project aimed to create a user-centric UI/UX design that caters to the diverse needs of both B2B and B2C customers, ultimately driving increased engagement and conversions.

Individual Customer

I'm interested in purchasing the dental product from the PUL website, but it appears to cater exclusively to businesses for bulk orders.

Our Client

Let's rebuild our website to serve both businesses and individual customers.

Current Challenges

PUL Technologies' current website primarily caters to bulk orders from businesses and dental professionals, lacking options for individual customers seeking smaller quantity purchases.

 

This exclusion of individual customers may result in inconvenience, missed revenue opportunities, and a competitive disadvantage compared to companies that cater to both B2B and B2C markets.

Our Goal

Enhance the PUL Technologies website to cater to both business clients and individual customers, eliminating exclusion, maximizing revenue opportunities, and ensuring competitiveness in the B2B and B2C markets.

User Research

We conducted extensive user research, including the distribution of 70+ user surveys, conducting 10+ interviews, and performing usability testing on three separate occasions.

By understanding the needs, preferences, and pain points of business clients and individual customers, we gain insights into their browsing behavior, expectations, and goals.

Wireframes

I arranged and prioritized the content within the wireframes, which serve as a structured blueprint. These wireframes define the layout and placement of content, aiding in the visualization of the website's user interface and overall user experience.

Grid System

 Layout grids serve as a tool for aligning objects within a frame, offering a visual structure that enhances the coherence of our designs. By employing layout grids, I ensure that our designs maintain a sense of logic and consistency, regardless of the platform or device being used.

Typography

 Within the typography library, I offer a framework that empowers designers to forge a uniform and cohesive visual identity across diverse design elements, ensuring an optimal reading experience.

Colors

Informed by user data revealing a predominantly female audience on the PUL website, I strategically employed pastel colors for the personal care pages. This choice aims to cultivate a welcoming and engaging atmosphere tailored to the preferences of the majority of users. Conversely, for the Dental professional pages, a light blue color scheme was selected to instill a sense of professionalism, aligning with the context of dental services.

Components

The components were created to seamlessly integrate, fostering the effortless reuse of elements across the interface. The utilization of variants plays a key role in grouping and organizing similar components within a unified container.
