🧬 Fettle – Responsive Web Design & Design System

🧠 The Challenge

Fettle, part of SH:24, provides discreet sexual health services by post. While its services were trusted and essential, the website’s experience lacked visual consistency, brand cohesion, and clarity across key pages, leading to a fragmented user journey.

The product, category, and team pages needed a redesign to improve engagement, and the error page needed a more helpful and brand-aligned tone.

 

🎯 The Goal

  • Improve user engagement and trust through better layout and messaging
  • Align UI with brand values of discretion, clarity, and care
  • Build reusable components to support design consistency
  • Strengthen collaboration across product and engineering teams

 

💡 My Role

As a Product Designer, I owned the responsive redesign of key marketing and informational pages:

  • Product Page
  • Category Page
  • Our Team Page
  • Error Page

I also contributed to expanding the design system, ensuring visual consistency and dev-friendly handoff.

 

✍️ UX & Wireframes

I led the UX phase by creating wireframes for all 4 pages based on stakeholder input and business priorities.

Approach:
  • Simplified layouts to focus on content clarity
  • Improved information hierarchy
  • Designed for scalability, considering future service expansions

After multiple review rounds with stakeholders, the wireframes were finalized and approved for UI development.

🎨 UI & Design System

Once the wireframes were approved, I transitioned into UI design using Figma, keeping brand elements front and center.

Key steps:
  • Designed responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • Built and documented UI components to expand Fettle’s design system
  • Held regular syncs with dev and product teams to ensure feasibility and alignment
  • Final UI designs were added to the system and delivered on time, without the need for revisions

📊 Results & Impact

📈 +15% increase in user engagement on redesigned product pages

✅ Delivered work accepted by the CEO and CTO with no revisions

🎨 Established strong design consistency across the site

⚙️ Created reusable components, improving speed for future design efforts

 

🧠 Reflections & Learnings

This project underscored the power of UI as a trust-building tool—especially for sensitive services like sexual health. By pairing thoughtful content hierarchy with brand-aligned visuals, I helped Fettle communicate more clearly and empathetically. It also reinforced the importance of design systems in scaling product design efficiently.
