Enhanced Online Ordering Experience for Web-to-Print Services

Context and Challenges

A web-to-print service provider needed to elevate its online ordering capabilities to meet evolving customer expectations. Their previous system suffered from an inefficient user experience that hindered service discovery and complicated the ordering process. Customers found it challenging to navigate the catalog, select appropriate services, and upload necessary artwork for their printing needs.
