Introduction
Blue Flamingo's collection of cocktails in a bag lets people prepare all-natural, bar-quality cocktails in a very simple way. Professionally crafted cocktail recipes come ready-for-use in the bag. Add liquor and water as indicated, shake to mix and store in the freezer. It doesn't get simpler.
Based in London, Blue Flamingo launched right before summer with its cocktails available in the United Kingdom and in continental Europe.
My Work
My involvement in the project has been multi-dimensional, including:
- UX/UI design
- Web and e-commerce development
- Graphic design
- Web marketing: SEO, analytics, ads, social media
- Production of visual assets for the website and our various marketing needs, including graphic design and illustration elements and photography.
- Content writing and copywriting
The UK website ran live at blue-flamingo.uk.
Front page
The general design of the BigBen Kids online store is meant to convey the label's attributes: pure, elegant yet playful, high-end. It starts right at the front page with a striking hero section showcasing some of the stunning looks from the collection.
Product page
There are many moving parts in making a product page perform well. One of them is user reviews. Because we believe in our line of cocktail mixes; Because we are introducing the product in the UK and in continental Europe while it is already very well known and rated on the US market, it was a no brainer we needed to make those user reviews available and prominent.
Technology & Development
The technologies used to develop the websites include:
- Shopify e-commerce platform
- Liquid, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Javascript
- Module bundling with Webpack
- Build automation with Gulp.
Building on past experiences, Shopify was our e-commerce backend and storefront of choice, giving us a proven, high quality and customizable solution that matched our marketing objectives.
