The story

Beauty is sold on how it looks, and then on how easily you can buy it. Beauty Hive needed both: a brand with presence and a storefront that gets out of the way at checkout.

The challenge

Beauty storefronts are crowded places. Ranges are wide, shades multiply, and a shopper who cannot find the exact product they want leaves. The store had to merchandise a deep catalogue without turning the homepage into a catalogue.

The work · 3 moves

What we actually did.

Not a logo and a landing page. A full effort across strategy, brand, content and engineering — here’s the play-by-play.

  • E-commerce
  • Branding
  1. 01

    A brand with a face

    Identity, palette and type chosen to sit on a product shot without fighting it, so the brand carries across packaging and screen alike.

  2. 02

    Merchandising the range

    Products grouped the way a shopper thinks about them, with the bestsellers given room and the long tail kept findable.

  3. 03

    A checkout that closes

    The fewest steps the payment allows, on a phone, with nothing between wanting the product and owning it.

How our awesomeness made it happen.

The moves that turned the brief into a result.

01

Brand and store together

Designed and built by one team, so the storefront actually looks like the brand.

02

Product-first layouts

Photography at the size it needs, with the detail underneath rather than in the way.

03

Ready to grow

New ranges drop into the structure without a redesign.

The result

Proof it worked.

  • Brand + store one commission
  • E-commerce built to sell, not to browse
  • 2023 designed and shipped
And this is just the tip

There’s a lot more where this came from.

One project, told in full. We’ve shipped dozens more across agritech, health, media, property, commerce and platforms.
