The old site

Where it started

The old homepage

01 Context

A legacy site that no longer matched the company

Naterra had grown into a global manufacturer, but its site still read like a much smaller one. Before redesigning anything, I ran a usability and content audit to find exactly what wasn't working.

02 Approach

Audit first, then rebuild

The process started with research, not screens: a usability and content audit, then a restructure of the IA and user flows, before any interface work began.

1
The audit

Ran a usability and content audit on the legacy site to find where visitors got stuck and what content wasn't earning its place.

2
The structure

Restructured the IA and user flows for a clearer, more intuitive path through the site.

3
The interface

Designed a clean, contemporary interface aligned with Naterra's brand, then built it responsive front to back.

03 Redesign, page by page

Three pages, rebuilt

What the audit found, and what I built instead.

04 Design system

A palette built for a multi-brand portfolio

Naterra needed one system flexible enough to hold several sub-brands without losing a shared identity. Color, type, and elevation rules carry across the home, about, and contact pages shown above.

A reusable milestone block: bold year, subhead, and a white content card. Repeat per milestone.

2015
A new era of sensitive skin care

Wildflowers for Sensitive Skin was launched to provide naturally-derived, gentle products with real results to women with sensitive skin. Every Wildflowers Skincare product is made with a high-performance, botanical complex formula that delivers a premium skin care experience.

2019
Expanding into a multi-brand portfolio

Naterra grew from a single skincare line into several sub-brands under one shared identity, setting the stage for a site that needed to hold that portfolio together.

1 Homepage

The homepage is the company's first impression, and the legacy version undersold it. Rebuilt around the new IA, with an interface that actually looks like a global manufacturer.

✓

Restructured around what the audit showed visitors needed first, not the old layout.

✓

Visual design brought up to a clean, contemporary standard aligned with Naterra's brand.

✓

Responsive front end holds the layout together on any device.

First impression now matches the company Naterra actually is.

2 About us

The about page carries the story of a global manufacturer, and the legacy version buried it. Restructured the flow around what the audit showed people actually wanted to know.

✓

Content reordered around the audit's findings, not the old sitemap.

✓

Visual hierarchy pulls up the details that build credibility, not just company history.

Positions Naterra as the forward-thinking manufacturer it is, not a legacy company.

3 Contact us

The old contact page made it harder than it needed to be to reach the right team. Simplified the flow and cleaned up the interface.

✓

Contact paths restructured around the new IA, cutting friction to reach the right team.

✓

Rebuilt responsive, so the form and info hold up on any device.

A page that helps instead of getting in the way.

04 The payoff

A site that finally matches the company

The redesign improved usability, accessibility, and engagement, and gave Naterra's brand the polish its scale deserves. The result is a user-centered site that presents the company as the forward-thinking global manufacturer it is.
