REDESIGN BEYOND AESTHETICS

The site isn’t just visually bold — it was designed to feel easy, intuitive, and engaging. Everything flows naturally, helping visitors explore, connect, and take action without friction.

TARGET

Creating a bold and unique site that breaks away from generic templates.

CHALLENGE

Making the site intuitive for customers to navigate while keeping it simple for the client to manage.

PROPOSAL

Adding floating elements inspired by gaming chaos, showcasing product protection.
From the very first scroll, we made TitanShield’s purpose unmistakable: Protecting what matters most.
TAKE ME TO THE GALLERY
The homepage hero uses a dramatic parallax scene where card sleeves, cases, and Funko Pop protectors float in the chaos of everyday gaming — chips, dust, and splashes drift around as TitanShield products remain untouched. It’s a striking visual story of protection, reinforced by the bold message: “Shield what matters.”
Featuring products directly in the mega menu gives customers quick access to key items, reducing clicks and helping the client push specific items.

Our strategy was to create a premium, nostalgic, and emotionally resonant shopping experience tailored specifically to Gen X.

Results

We centered the design around “earned indulgence,” blending luxury with subtle 80s/90s inspiration without looking childish. The UX focused on clear navigation, clean product discovery, and trust-building for high-ticket items, while the brand voice used confident, relatable messaging that speaks to Gen X’s life stage.

Visually, we paired sophisticated neutrals with retro accents and high-quality lifestyle photography to deliver a modern yet nostalgic look that feels both premium and personal.

The goal of this project was to rebuild Beacon's digital presence from the ground up; transforming a technically complex, low-trust experience into a conversion-optimized ecommerce platform built for a high-consideration purchase environment.

The design approach centered on information hierarchy and credibility signaling, structuring PDPs with tabbed content architecture, downloadable technical references, and formula-forward visuals to reduce cognitive load without sacrificing scientific accuracy. Custom calculator logic addressed a key drop-off trigger, while controlled whitespace, typographic authority, and AI-assisted product imagery closed the gap between a research-grade brand and a consumer-ready experience. The early data confirms the approach: within the first week of launch, before any SEO or email/SMS activation, the site generated ~20 new customers, its first subscription, a 50% lift in orders, and 44% growth in gross sales. A direct signal that the UX is reducing friction and the foundation is built to scale.

Don't leave conversions on the table!
