FEATURED PROJECT
Goji Kitchen
UI Design | Technical Consultation | System Training | Administration & Maintenance
Goji Kitchen's web presence was well behind the times with an aging website that was not responsive to phone or tablet screens. Consequently, customers were complaining about difficulties in navigating on small screens. Moreover, the pandemic forced more customers than ever toward online orders.
The site received its complete facelift with a streamlined main navigation to place the few critical items in the fore.
Technically, the site also wasn't encrypting traffic, a major oversight that harms Google ratings. A new host was migrated to that supports the free Let's Encrypt service and global security was improved with standard firewall software.
The result is a cleaner, more vibrant, more secure, and easily navigated website on desktops and mobile devices.
