NexasCart - E-commerce Website
NexasCart is a scalable e-commerce web platform created to help businesses sell their products online with ease and confidence. As the sole product designer, I was responsible for every stage of the process, from designing the logo and brand identity to conducting research, mapping user journeys, and creating high-fidelity UI screens. The vision was to develop an experience that not only looked professional but also inspired trust in first-time shoppers. With NexasCart, the aim was to balance functionality and aesthetics, ensuring a seamless buying journey.
Understanding the challenges of competing with established e-commerce giants
The Challenge
The challenge was to compete with established players like Amazon and Shopify while building a product that felt approachable for smaller businesses and their customers. Many e-commerce platforms suffer from cluttered navigation, slow checkout processes, and a lack of trust signals. NexasCart needed to address these pain points while still offering advanced features like product filtering, reviews, and secure payment flows. On top of that, it required a strong brand identity that would stand out in a highly competitive market.
Design process focusing on user research and brand identity development
My Process
I began with research into user expectations and competitor analysis to pinpoint opportunities for differentiation. From there, I sketched user flows for product browsing, filtering, and checkout, with a strong emphasis on reducing friction during payment. In parallel, I designed the NexasCart logo to represent professionalism, simplicity, and trust, anchoring the platform's brand identity. After wireframing, I moved into high-fidelity designs with a clean component-based system that allowed for scalability and consistency across screens.
Final solution delivering professional and trustworthy shopping experience
The Solution
The final design delivered a professional, trustworthy shopping experience supported by a modern, recognizable brand identity. Customers could quickly find and purchase products, with a streamlined checkout flow reducing abandonment rates. The logo and visual system gave NexasCart a unique identity in the e-commerce space, positioning it as both reliable and modern. By combining UX best practices with branding, I created a platform that inspires confidence for both sellers and buyers.
