Their Story
Established in 2001 as a supplier of wrought iron furniture, AMSFireplace.com has since expanded into all things fire-related, selling a quality selection of gas and electric fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and accessories.
Whether you’re a contractor, home remodeler, or backyard enthusiast, AMSFireplace.com has the right products and knowledge to create a truly unique entertaining experience.
The Challenge
Falling short of visual and functional expectations, the previous website was cluttered, challenging to navigate, and lacked the features that create an intuitive shopping experience.
Given the increase in unique customer demands, AMS Fireplace also needed a website supporting greater product selection and customization to help streamline the buying experience and purchase pipeline.
With this in mind, they partnered with IntuitSolutions for a custom, full-site design and development on a future-proof framework supporting the latest BigCommerce functionality.
The Solution
IntuitSolutions worked with AMSFireplace.com for a full rebuild and redesign of their ecommerce site on the BigCommerce Stencil framework. This entire process was overseen by a dedicated project manager and supported by a full team of in-house experts in ecommerce design and development.
Inspired by the client’s vision for a clean design, our team created a straightforward yet sophisticated layout that doesn’t overwhelm the reader with information. With a more intuitive and organized site structure, customers can easily shop the full breadth of offerings at a glance.
Highlights of the new site design:
- Modern homepage design with a cleaner and more visually organized layout.
- Customized mega menu with prominent images displayed above a list style of product categories.
- Category page design enhancements that utilize page space, text, and images to narrow ideal product results quickly.
- Product page enhancements with more customization options, improved pick lists, and more organized product details.
- Enhanced scrolling product carousel that suggests related items based on user interaction.
- Less clutter and clearer CTAs throughout to encourage site engagement.
