SCALING THE FRANCHISOR WEBSITE AND FRANCHISEE
Strategy
Scaling doesn’t refer to the return on ad investment (ROAS), but it is an important consideration. We are a number-first agency. We do not leave anything up to chance. Our targets are known before we even spend a dime. Scaling involves driving qualified traffic towards a website that converts well, while also increasing the retention rate. It is also about managing variable costs. It sounds complex, but the math works like this:
UX strategy
During the discovery phase, we were able to identify several gems that would bring their sites to life. Through storytelling, we wanted to create a site that was rich with information about their franchise products and benefits, talk about what makes Pure Green different from other juice bars, and highlight why Pure Green tastes so much better than its competitors. Using wireframes, we laid out how that story would weave across the various pages and sections of the site to create cohesive and easy-to-navigate pages.
Build
Our design team chose a clean and fresh design aesthetic to represent the purity and quality of Pure Green. It was an easy decision to use green as an accent colour for the site, and we sprinkled enticing, high-quality images of their juices and processes to weave their story throughout the pages. Once development started, one of the first things our developers did was update the version of Squarespace that Pure Green was using for CMS. Once this was complete, we coded the newly designed pages in HTML and CSS and integrated everything with the most recent version of Squarespace.
