Quelles sont les instructions?

Skip Hire UK wanted a site where people across the UK could access the same service irrespective of their location. For their corporate customers, such as large housing developers, garden landscapers and shop fitters, the website had to be a vital resource which would reduce time and saved money. They also wanted the ecommerce website solution to clearly distinguish between the different services they have on offer and how each service can benefit the customer. A simple quoting system needed to be devised along with an online payment option for ease of use.

évolution du projet

The ecommerce website brief that Skip Hire was very clear on the goals of the ecommerce website; it would make their services clear to all and make it easier for customers to order the skip hire. This clear strategy meant that the ecommerce site must have to show this level of transparency and ease of use through an uncluttered website design. We began the ecommerce project by designing a logo that reflects their 'Your waste is your responsibility' slogan by taking inspiration from the recycling logo. The corporate identity also seeks to reflect the drop off and collect service whilst also making it unique to their competitors in the industry.

This red and blue colour scheme created during the corporate identity process was then used throughout the site to form a solid brand identity. Images were generated to clearly demonstrate the size of the skips in relation to a car. These images of scale helps customers visualise how big they are so they can get an idea of which skip would be best for them. The simple 'Quote Me' function makes it easier for customers to get a quick quote based on their needs. It also speeds up the process and makes the whole process run more smoothly.
