Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our project was all about giving our client's website a complete makeover. Component Product Foundry kicked off with a deep dive into the current website, spotting the weak points and figuring out what needed changing. After they got all their info, they had a chat with all the decision-makers. They wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew what the new website should look and feel like. Next up, they mapped out user journeys.

They used their knack for UX design to sketch out all the routes a user might take on the site, and then worked on how to make these journeys a breeze. When it came to design, they turned all the plans and info into a solid design scheme. They focused on making a straightforward interface, eye-catching visuals, and a smooth structure so users could get around easily and everything felt consistent.

Instead of building the website themselves, they packed all their ideas and designs into a build kit and handed it over to the development agency. This kit was like a step-by-step guide, helping the agency turn the designs into a real, working website. To sum up, they gave us a detailed breakdown of the old website's problems, a thorough stakeholder review, user journey maps, a clear and practical UI/UX design plan, and a build kit for the development team.

All in all, the supplier was a massive help throughout the whole process, offering their design know-how, strategic advice, and handy recommendations.
