Challenges
A full evaluation of the Chicksquote. Pheasant.com found that the current website design: Was not mobile-friendly. Was not user-friendly. (Most customers placed their orders via phone instead of online.) As a result, MacFarlane Pheasants wanted a mobile-friendly, user-friendly design for the new Chicksquote. Pheasant.com website.
How We Helped
To include these features, Foremost Media redesigned the layout of Chicksquote.Pheasant.com to more effectively display available birds, hatch dates, and prices to prospective customers. The redesigned Chicksquote. Pheasant.com lets customers click the images of each bird for more details without excessive scrolling and features a high-resolution image carousel with directional buttons that prospective buyers can browse through before placing their order. The new website design also features color tones that complement the earth tones used by the previous version of the website. We also used white space and clean typography to create a strong hierarchy of segmented content and information to increase overall conversion rates.
