Introduction

ARK crystals’ science-driven jewelry is all about achieving balance. But how could they properly communicate their value when they didn’t understand the type of customer buying their products?

The Challenge

ARK Crystals’ lack of consumer focus coupled with an unorganized Shopify site created a recipe for disaster in ARK Crystals’ business model. In order to enhance their long-term viability and revenue, we needed to re-tool their online presence from the ground-up with a focus on high-level customizations and optimizations.

The 
Solution

A niche product like ARK Crystals needs a deep understanding of what drives users to drop big bucks on them. We needed to discover the value each type of customer gets from luxury crystal jewelry. We interviewed ARK Crystals’ key personas to nail down demographics and behavioral patterns. Our strategy was to discover what made them spend money — as well as the design barriers that drove them away.
Evaluation
We evaluated the existing site to determine pain points and identify new strategies. We also wanted to discover which pages we could feasibly keep or slightly tweak for the redesign.

Crazy Egg allowed us to A/B test our designs and figure out what pages and design elements needed to be optimized in order to maximize our KPIs.

Ark Crystals had two main focuses of their site: to educate the user on how their products worked and to sell those products. Because already had high-quality photographs, we took a minimalist approach with our design to let the visuals speak for themselves. The A/B testing helped us create an effective e-commerce platform that found the visual balance between technology and luxury — boosting their revenue by 18% within the first six months!

Our Work

Sports
B/SPOKE

B/SPOKE wanted to refresh their website after the pandemic. They approached us to find the balance between approachable and no-nonsense for their digital presence.

Healthcare
Performance Health Partners

PHP wanted to simplify their Incident Management System to make it easier for healthcare workers to document patient and employee concerns. They asked us to overhaul the user flows and remove key friction points while making small tweaks to improve the branding.

Healthcare
Fountain Life

Fountain Life sought out Create Ape for a website redesign to match their cutting-edge technologies. But we didn’t stop with a rejuvenated interface — we also delivered optimized location pages, email templates, and social ads to raise awareness for their healthcare revolution.

Education
SchoolMessenger

The SchoolMessenger interface was running on a 20-year-old design and software program. Intrado, SchoolMessenger’s parent company, enlisted Create Ape to modernize its UX/UI.

Healthcare
Abbott

Because of the pandemic, Abbott wanted to transition their manual software update process to a digital platform where technicians could update accounts remotely. We were tasked with creating the interface and rigorously testing it to ensure efficiency.
