Nature Club Subscription Box
Nature Club, a brand dedicated to connecting children with nature through eco-friendly subscription boxes and products, needed a website that could handle both product sales and recurring subscriptions. Their existing setup wasn’t meeting their needs, so they approached us to build a new site that was functional, beautifully designed, and easy to manage. Using Shopify, we created a solution that not only streamlined their operations but also elevated their brand’s digital presence.
Nature Club wanted a website that could:
- Seamlessly manage their product sales and subscription services.
- Provide a great user experience for customers.
- Showcase their mission and values while offering easy navigation.
- Integrate features like a "Build Your Own Box" option and subscription flexibility.
- With these goals in mind, we set out to create a site that reflected the Nature Club ethos while delivering functionality and scalability.
Step 1: Planning and Structuring the Data
We started by understanding the needs of Nature Club’s audience and mapping the customer journey. From first-time visitors to loyal subscribers, we ensured every interaction on the site would be simple and intuitive.
We structured the site’s data into two main sections:
Subscriptions: Designed to handle recurring billing for various plans (monthly, 3-month, 6-month, and annual).
One-Off Products: A shop for customers to buy individual items or curate their own eco-friendly boxes.
We added custom data fields to personalise subscription boxes and ensure customer preferences were captured efficiently.
Step 2: Design and Customisation
Nature Club wanted a design that reflected their love for nature while remaining professional and timeless. We:
Developed a clean and inspiring visual design aligned with their branding.
Custom-coded fonts to match their aesthetic, ensuring the typography was consistent across the site.
Created wireframes and mockups to finalise the layout of key pages, such as the homepage, subscription page, and FAQs.
Step 3: Building the Subscription Service
Subscriptions were central to Nature Club’s business, so we integrated a third-party app (e.g., Recharge or Bold Subscriptions) to manage recurring payments. This allowed us to:
Offer flexible subscription plans that auto-renew, with options to skip or cancel.
Build a user-friendly subscription flow that guides customers from plan selection to checkout.
Create a dedicated customer dashboard for managing subscriptions.
We rigorously tested this system to ensure smooth transactions, accurate renewals, and an easy-to-manage backend.
Step 4: Developing the One-Off Shop
In addition to subscriptions, Nature Club needed a store for individual products. We:
Added high-quality product listings with clear descriptions and optimised imagery.
Developed a "Build Your Own Box" feature, allowing customers to curate personalised eco-friendly boxes.
Ensured inventory management was seamless for both subscriptions and one-off products.
Step 5: Enhancing the User Experience
We focused on creating a website that would delight customers and simplify management for the Nature Club team. Key features included:
SEO-Optimised Pages: To improve visibility in search engines.
Pic-Time Integration: To streamline photo and content management.
FAQs and Support Pages: Answering common customer queries about subscriptions, activities, and billing.
Step 6: Testing and Launch
Before launching, we conducted thorough testing across devices and browsers to ensure the site was responsive, fast, and functional. The payment gateways, subscription logic, and user flows were double-checked to avoid any hiccups post-launch.
Once everything was ready, the site went live with a marketing campaign to drive traffic and subscriptions.
The Result
The new Nature Club website is more than just a platform for selling products – it’s a tool for building long-term relationships with customers. Subscribers now enjoy a seamless experience, from signing up for a plan to managing their subscriptions.
The one-off shop offers flexibility for customers who want to explore eco-friendly products without committing to a subscription. And for Nature Club, the website is a reliable system that simplifies operations and helps them focus on their mission: connecting children with nature through creative play.
