Brilliant work! I'm testing it now!
🏁 New case study: Carfidant — an e-commerce redesign for a car-care brand
Great detailing products deserve a storefront that performs just as hard. So I designed a bold, high-octane e-commerce experience for Carfidant – from research and strategy all the way to a polished, conversion-focused interface.
What's inside:
🔧 A build-your-own-kit configurator
📦 Bundle-based pricing with a quantity slider – more bottles, lower price per unit
🔁 Subscribe & Save with clear membership perks
⭐ A content-rich product page: social proof, comparison tables, step-by-step how-tos
🔎 A filterable catalogue with category controls and search
Visual language: bold display typography (Boldonse + Anton), a punchy yellow-black-red palette, and a consistent red accent driving every key action. Designed in Figma with responsive design in mind.
My hypothesis: combining strong visual hierarchy, intuitive UI, and flexible bundle and subscription options would help customers choose with more confidence – and lift both purchase intent and repeat orders.
I felt this driving energy scrolling your work! Cool work 🔥 🔥🔥
What can you create with Figma Motion?
Figma recently introduced Figma Motion, a new way to add animations directly inside your design file.
Of course, I had to try it myself.
I created this scene to test how it handles simple looping animations.
It’s still in beta, so there are a few limitations, but it’s already quite intuitive and beginner-friendly.
Sharing my process walkthrough in the comments.
Have you tried it yet?
