BrightFarms

Ready. Set. Grow.

Web Design for Organic Food & Beverage Company

Quick Overview

The Background

BrightFarms is in the business of growth. That’s true for the pesticide-free greens they farm and for their own company goals, which is why they asked for our help to reimagine their website. With a fresh, new brand and healthy ambitions for this project, BrightFarms had a bold vision for their business. Thankfully, we had the tools to help them cultivate a beautiful new web design.

A Fresh Take on Digital Strategy

Like many companies, BrightFarms decided to rethink their web design because they reached an inflection point in their business. With funding secured and market traction rising every day, BrightFarms needed to reframe their site, focusing more on customers than investors. This goal was the focus of our digital strategy.

From a Sitemap

A shift in business strategy away from attracting investors toward appealing to customers required a fresh look at how BrightFarm’s website was structured. Considering multiple user journeys, we began on the bottom floor. We reinvisioned their sitemap to remain simple, but serve a drastically different audience profile.

Down to the Wireframes

Developing wireframes before launching straight into design lets us nail down the content strategy more efficiently and effectively. At this stage, we made sure the structure of BrightFarms’ brand story was effectively outlined in a website format.

Strategy Meets Empathy: The Busy, Health-Conscious Mom.

BrightFarms’ primary audience cares about value, responsibility, and quality – all while juggling her family’s busy lifestyle. This user was the foundation for our web strategy. By truly understanding what the primary user needs – what her goals are, what tasks she needs to complete, what she expects – we were able to craft a UX strategy to exceed expectations.

A Brighter Web Design

On the shelf, BrightFarms’ products win customers. And while their former website won investors, a shift in business strategy meant the new site had a different purpose. Translating package design to web design is not always a straightforward process. We accomplished this task by always returning to what makes BrightFarms so unique: their story. The final web design simply became a different vehicle to tell it.

Translating Brand Identity to Web

The visual brief we developed for this web project deconstructs the whimsy of BrightFarms’ packaging design and reimagines it for the digital space. It creates the cohesive brand experience customers have grown to expect on and offline.

Typography & Color

BrightFarms has a beautiful brand identity. Our task was to translate that brand into a stellar website that married smart UX strategy with pleasing UI design. The color palette and type pairings were square one for our design team.

Website Technology

Building the new BrightFarms.com was an exercise in making beautiful web strategy and design look effortless. It’s one thing to design stunning and functional desktop screens. It’s another to optimize them for all screen sizes, without losing the design’s integrity. This web design project successfully negotiated this and several other challenges through cutting-edge web development techniques.

Elegant Tech is Often Invisible

The art of building simple and functional websites requires a technical prowess that is often overlooked. For BrightFarms’ site, the effectiveness of its tech is in the details.

Greens Become Alive with Animation

Throughout the finished product, we developed SVG draw-in animations, micro-interactions, and other thoughtful animations to keep people engaged with the site. Functional? Yes. Undeniably delightful? Definitely. Animation allowed the whimsy of BrightFarms’ brand to come alive.

Helping the World
Find Fresh

We developed a custom “Store Finder” tool that brings customers even closer to BrightFarms’ delicious greens. Styled using official brand elements, the finder is an exercise of how tech and design can come together, resulting in a perfect solution for real-world business goals.
