E. Frances Paper

Custom retail and wholesale websites for a whimsical stationery brand

The Challenge

E. Frances Paper is a well-established paper goods company that creates meaningful, personal connections with products that help express love, gratitude and kindness. With a strong foundation in wholesale and an expanded team in place, their Creative Director, Ali Flippin, came to us ready to concentrate on building the retail side of the business, with the website as the focus. Ali sought to maximize their online presence, delight their community of customers, and significantly increase their DTC website sales.

Our Approach

We began with an in-depth SEO audit which revealed many significant opportunities for growth. Our web designer infused fun and joy into every page with artwork and animation that helps tell the brand story and makes shopping a delight. Revenue-boosting opportunities were key for this custom site, including bundles, upsells, a shoppable blog, and a strategic landing page design for a unique product. Mobile user experience was optimized every step of the way.The final result is sophisticated, airy, clever, and a great foundation to grow retail sales online.
