Weed.com

Project Overview

I lead the redesign of Weed.com, an e-commerce platform tailored for cannabis enthusiasts. We aimed to streamline the user experience, making the product discovery and purchase process intuitive and seamless. The team and I worked collaboratively through various phases of the project.

Challenges

The venture posed unique obstacles related to the unique nature of the product and the regulations surrounding its online trade. These included creating a user-friendly platform capable of handling age verification and state-specific legal requirements. Additionally, ensuring privacy and security for our customers was paramount. Lastly, we had to be mindful of creating an aesthetic that appeals to our target demographic without perpetuating stereotypes, while also showcasing a wide variety of cannabis products in an attractive and informative way.

Outcomes

Our redesign resulted in increased user engagement and an upsurge in sales. The new design was lauded for its user-friendliness and ability to manage the complex legalities involved in cannabis e-commerce.

What is it about?

A domain owner and entrepreneur Alexander Tabibi enlisted my help to redesign multiple domains he owned. Together, we transformed weed.com into a user-friendly, secure e-commerce platform for cannabis enthusiasts. The design successfully balanced legal requirements, privacy, and consumer appeal. The redesign was well-received by users and positively influenced business performance, marking a significant growth milestone for the company.
