Schuh.co.uk – redesigned

Quite a while ago, now – back in July 2008, in fact – myself and my esteemed colleague, friend and all-round niceguy Martin found ourselves looking at the Schuh.co.uk website. Back then, it was dire: any regular readers will know the various reviews I’ve written about the evolutions of their site.

Today I was going through a bunch of old files, and found OUR attempts at a redesign for Schuh. Given that there’s been a fair bit of time (and indeed they’ve changed their site since), I thought I’d share them with you.

Bearing in mind that these designs are pretty old now in the scheme of things, here we go!

A fair bit of thought went into these, including:

  • Overall function for the site (why were people there? what were the most popular lines? how would you show them?)
  • Keeping the brand greeny colours
  • Insert opportunities for cross-selling (right-hand navs)
  • How it could all be built & maintained

We rather liked it, but then we were young and naive. :)
