This project involved refining the online custom ordering experience for a client in the printing industry. Focused on enhancing discoverability and simplifying the ordering flow, Cmsmart played a pivotal role in re-structuring the client's product catalog, creating an intuitive path for customers to explore services and submit artwork. The solution enabled easier navigation and a streamlined ordering process, ultimately leading to improved customer satisfaction and reduced ordering friction.
The client operates within the printing industry, specializing in custom products such as business cards, flyers, and signage. Customers utilize the platform to easily navigate through various product offerings, upload their designs, and complete their purchases. However, the previous system faced challenges in service discoverability and ordering efficiency.
The main objectives were to improve the online ordering experience, enhance the visibility of services, and simplify the design upload process to better cater to customer needs.
Cmsmart restructured the client’s online presence to foster a seamless ordering journey. By enhancing navigation capabilities and optimizing the service catalog layout, we ensured that customers could quickly find and engage with desired products. Moreover, we introduced user-friendly design upload features that simplified the process of submitting artwork for printing.
Our approach began with an analysis of the existing user journey to identify pain points. We then developed a streamlined navigation structure and integrated new functionalities to facilitate easier product discovery and ordering processes. A phased implementation ensured minimal disruption while enhancing user experience.
With the refined platform, the customer journey now starts with browsing through services, followed by submitting design proofs for approval before moving to production and fulfillment. This streamlined process allows for greater clarity and enhanced client interaction.
The improved interface has resulted in a more efficient user experience, facilitating faster order placements. Customers now navigate through service categories with greater ease, leading to improved satisfaction rates. The restructuring created a portfolio-ready environment, showcasing the client's service offerings, thus attracting more potential customers and elevating the overall market presence.
Clearer categories and navigation help customers find the right print product faster, reducing drop-offs and unnecessary support questions.

Not necessarily. Many stores can start with small changes like grouping items more clearly and adding consistent naming. If you want a full catalog restructure and guidance, consider Pro for priority help.
The workflow helps reduce mistakes with clearer prompts and checkpoints. You can also add internal review steps and customer follow-ups. Pro plans make it easier to maintain these checks reliably as order volume grows.
If your catalog is already reasonably structured, setup can be quick. If you need deeper category cleanup and approval rules by product type, it may take longer. Pro support can speed up onboarding and troubleshooting.
