  • Context
  • This case study explores a coneptual web solution for landscaping company. The goal was to identify the goals of a local landscape company and translate that research into a user friendly web experience.

1. Empathy

Expertise

Customers value a professional who "knows" landscaping and soil care.

User says: "I want to work with a team that is knowledgeable about landscaping and can provide quality results"

Equipment and Logistics

Many users lack the heavy-duty tools required for tasks.

User says: "I know what I want, but I don't know how to do it"

Aesthetic Artistry

Similar to a muralist, users hire Cwesi to treat their yard as a canvas.

User says: "My yard is a mess! I don't know what I need, but I need someone to make it pretty!"

Convenience

Users want to maintain their property without the steep learning curve.

User says: "I used to maintain my yard myself but I can't find the time anymore"

2. Defining the user

I identified four distinct user personas to ensure the site architecture met everyone's needs:

The Specific Need Seeker

Needs a one-time task (e.g., shrub trimming or weed control).

The Disenchanted Customer

Looking for a new provider because their previous service lacked a "personal touch."

The Potential Loyal Customer

Looking for long-term lawn maintenance.

The Established Regular

Needs easy access to contact info to maintain their existing relationship.

3. The problem and goal

  • The problem
  • Homeowners are hesitant to hire landscapers due to a lack of "proof of quality" and transparent pricing online.
  • The goal
  • Build a digital presence for Cwesi that establishes immediate credibility through high-quality visuals and clear service paths.

4. Translating research into design

Research themes

Design implementation

Professionalism

Highlighting 20 Years of Experience and a 4.7 Google Rating to build instant trust.

Expertise

Detailed service descriptions for specialized tasks like Plant Care, Pest Control, and Soil Care.

Personal touch

Including an "Our Story" section to emphasize the family-owned nature of the business.

Transparency

A robust "Get a Free Estimate" form to remove the friction of "hidden" costs.

5. Wireframes
