Understanding How Users Seek out Products

With a mission to align their marketing website and their position as a forward-thinking independent leader, they looked to us for guidance on how to consolidate their sub-brands under the Nature’s Path umbrella despite their different target audiences.

Navigating Visually

In order to allow users to quickly identify products and brands offered, we created a dynamic and highly visual navigation allowing users to find and shop products by category, as well as jump straight to the core brand stories. The result was eye-catching top-down photography to represent their food, without focusing in on individual products.

Hunting for Food

When it came down to finding products, there were two clear pathways. First, we designed a smart filter system which allowed users to choose between category, brand, dietary restriction, or a combination of each, narrowing down the filter options to ensure users could find what they wanted with optimum ease and simplicity.

Branded House or House of Brands?

In order for each sub-brand to retain their own unique identity, we built a way for pages to be associated directly with a sub-brand bringing in their associated brand colours and fonts. Combined with strong tailored messaging and art directed media to suit each category, each brand page is able to showcase their own personalities.

Seamless Integrations

One of the most complex technical considerations was integrating with Nature’s Path’s existing Ecommerce platform for their US audience and ensuring users could smoothly journey through the path to purchase without a perceived disruption of jumping to a whole new site.

In addition, the new website needed to be multi-regional (versions for US, Canada, Mexico, France, UK) and multilingual (English, French, Spanish), and integrate with Destini store locator (US), a contact center CRM system, cloud-based translation platform, product reviews integration, and a job listings service.

The Fun and Playful Spirit of Que Pasa

To add an extra challenge to this project, our client wanted to use the framework created for the Nature’s Path website in order to build a separate stand-alone site for Que Pasa, a fast-growing producer of organic tortilla chips and salsa, acquired by Nature’s Path in 2012.
Keeping the requirements in mind throughout the process, we were able to successfully use the same template to achieve their key goals.
