Context
Platforma SaaS do tworzenia i zarządzania sklepami internetowymi, skierowana do osób rozpoczynających działalność w modelu e-commerce (low-entry, dropshipping / micro-brands). Projekt obejmował uporządkowanie doświadczenia użytkownika oraz stworzenie spójnego systemu wizualnego i funkcjonalnego.
Problem
The platform suffered from fragmented UX, inconsistent UI patterns, and lack of a scalable design system.
Users faced high cognitive load when setting up and managing their stores, especially during onboarding.
Key issues:
- inconsistent interface across modules
- unclear information architecture
- lack of guided flows for new users
- limited scalability of visual and component system
Approach
Focused on building a system-first foundation rather than designing isolated screens.
- defined core user flows (store setup, product management, sales)
- restructured information architecture
- designed modular UI system (components, states, tokens)
- introduced consistent interaction patterns across desktop & mobile
- aligned communication layer (UI + brand + product language)
Design System
Created a scalable foundation for product growth:
- component library (inputs, tables, navigation, dashboards)
- semantic color system & tokens
- responsive behavior across breakpoints
- unified visual language (UI, illustrations, motion)
- documentation for reuse and future developmen
Page Builder
One of the key product features was a no-code page builder, designed to enable users to create fully functional store pages without technical knowledge.
Problem:
Users struggled to build and customize store layouts without developer support.
Solution:
Designed a modular, block-based editor allowing visual composition of pages.
Key elements:
- drag-and-drop canvas for layout building
- block-based structure (hero, product grid, CTA, etc.)
- sidebar with reusable components
- properties panel for real-time editing
- responsive preview and layout control
👉 No-code interface for building fully functional e-commerce pages without developer support.
Solution
Delivered a cohesive and scalable product experience:
- redesigned user panel (core workspace)
- simplified onboarding and store setup flows
- introduced automation tools reducing manual setup
- integrated page builder into the product ecosystem
- ensured consistency across platform and marketing touchpoints
Outcome
- reduced complexity in onboarding flows
- improved clarity of core user actions
- enabled faster feature development through systemization
- created scalable foundation for future product expansion
