Overview

In 2012, furniture manufacturer Knoll faced digital fragmentation with seven separate websites for different divisions, causing customer confusion and inconsistent experiences across platforms.

The Design

Strategy avoided prioritizing "above the fold." Different selectors clearly identified product options. Price changes animated visually when options changed. Critical purchase content was prioritized.
