Problem
The existing navigation was cluttered and unintuitive, featuring hover-based menus, lengthy category lists, excessive clicks, and overlapping sections that made it difficult for customers to find what they were looking for quickly.
Approach
Redesign the navigation to be cleaner and more intuitive by surfacing and relocating search, replacing rollovers with click-based interactions, and simplifying the category structure. Overlapping content was combined, and items were reordered using click-rate data, then brought to life in an interactive prototype that made product discovery faster, clearer, and easier to use.
