Research Insights

1

Bloomfield Creamery is an ice cream place owned by two siblings from Michigan, Bijan and Leila. Five words that Bloomfield Creamery's owners want to communicate through their website are quality, family, classic, fresh (youthful), and personal.

One of Bloomfield Creamery's advantages is that they produce Super Premium ice cream, which is the highest category of ice cream that is made of 14% butterfat. In addition to that, everything is made from scratch by the store's owners themselves.

Three main competitors for Bloomfield Creamery are Mr&Mrs Creamery, Carmela, and Afters Ice Cream. Competitive research gave me an idea for a merchandise page.

Heuristic Evaluation

The home page of the website doesn't have clear imagery to point out that it's an ice cream shop. It also lacks a clear call to action.

The Flavors page features several variations of yellow color and doesn't demonstrate consistency. Also, flush left makes the website look unfinished.

On the Catering page, a clear call-to-action is missing. In addition to that, imagery could be more inviting.

Future Considerations

1) User testing and additional rounds of iterations would help make this website more user-friendly and accessible.

2) Professionally taken pictures of Bloomfield Creamery ice cream and merchandise would give the website more character and make it more personal.
