Project Overview

Genius Pack produces premium travel luggage with standout functional features, Laundry Compression Technology, an Engineered Interior Panel, and a built-in Portable Charger integration. The problem: their ecommerce website was selling products the way every competitor did, showing the bag, listing the price. The unique features that made Genius Pack worth the premium weren't coming through.

The challenge: help customers understand what makes Genius Pack different, not just see it. Feature comprehension before purchase drives conversion.

UI Evaluation, Problems Identified

I conducted a systematic UI evaluation of the existing Genius Pack ecommerce website to identify areas limiting customer understanding and engagement.

Problem 1

Feature Invisibility

Unique product features like Laundry Compression Technology were buried in text descriptions, not visualised or demonstrated.

Problem 2

Product = Just a Bag

Photography showed the exterior only. No visual storytelling of what the bag does inside, the core differentiator.

Problem 3

No Feature Comparison

Customers couldn't easily compare models or understand which features justified which price tier.

Problem 4

Weak Visual Hierarchy

Page layouts lacked clear hierarchy, the most compelling product benefits didn't have the visual weight they deserved.

Product Features, Brought to Life

The redesign centred on making Genius Pack's unique features the hero of every product page, not an afterthought.
