The Challenge

The Balance Me team came to GPMD in 2019 with a site which, due to a number of limitations and a legacy code base, was in need of a refresh. The original site, while functional, was one dimensional and did not allow for users to efficiently explore the breadth of the brand’s products and ranges. There was a lack of personalisation, and the UX was in need of an overhaul.

Balance Me’s specific requirements were:

  • To effectively communicate their brand story to an existing, and new audience
  • To deliver an ecommerce platform that would enable growth
  • To build on customer acquisition and increase retention

The Solution

GPMD approached the project in two parts. Firstly, we migrated the old site to the BigCommerce platform. Then, following a full redesign, we relaunched the site with Balance Me’s new branding.

A fully responsive and mobile optimised site was delivered, ensuring that the essence of the Balance Me brand, and what it represents today, were captured.
