Personas were created from the key trends identified from these interviews, based on composite behavior patterns and goals.

Case Study: Edie's Online Shoe Store

As soon as the wireframes successfully captured the framework of the site, the visual design process began.

A design direction was chosen and revised until it met both client specifications and end-user goals.
