Outre's previous website was problematic; both in managing the site internally, and engaging the company's target audience externally. The following is an oversimplification, but these were the top 4 objectives to achieve when re–designing and re–developing Outre's website:
1. Correct the misrepresentation of the company brand
2. Provide an engaging user-experience & keep current with Outre's base audience
3. Organize & improve the presentation of Outre's many product lines
4. Merge 2 sites—1 desktop & 1 mobile— into 1 seamless responsive website across devices

wireframing & pre–planning
Of course the new website turned out better than expected do to pre–planning and low fidelity wireframing. This allowed our in–house design team with our partnered web developer: JPD Studio, to plan for better site functionality, organization of content, and a more engaging user–experience.
