I have been lucky to work with our team to launch 6 profitable brands under the SSC umbrella. While launching these brands we created unique print and digital marketing materials including eCommerce websites, email campaigns, logo/brand identity, marketing plans, and other material.

It has been extremely rewarding working with the team to come up with new business, products, and marketing plans. Seeing ideas progress from the napkin sketch to money-making businesses while working with people you respect and like is something most people only dream of.

Working on SustainableSupply.com and other websites in the SSC Brands family has given me a chance to understand what makes a successful website and a great user experience.

eCommerce websites have a standard way of laying out information that users have become familiar with. This includes the home page, category or product list pages, product detail page, checkout, account and static information pages. Other pages may exist but these are the main formats, each with a specific purpose and next step we want the user to take. Below are a number of these pages to look at and how the team and I at sustainablesupply.com put some of the best practices in place as well as provided unique aspects focused on specific businesses, the products we sell, and the customers we serve.
