The Problem

Streamlining Inventory Presentation

The primary objective of the project was to develop a visually compelling and user-friendly website that aligns with the client's new buisness venture and effectively aggregates their inventory of pre-owned vehicles. The goal was to provide an intuitive and informative website that empowers customers to skip the in-person dealership experience by exploring the available inventory, comparing options, and make informed purchasing decisions all online.

The Solution

Revving Up Success: Overcoming Roadblocks

The used car aggregator website project addressed specific challenges, user needs, and business requirements through a user-centric design approach, advanced search functionality, visual inventory showcase, responsive design, clear calls-to-action, and a focus on buying a vehicle online. These features collectively contributed to achieving the project's objectives of enhancing the online car shopping experience, increasing user engagement, and driving business growth for the influential dealer group in Wisconsin.
