NewPro Containers

In the commercial planters and containers space, the buying experience has long been an afterthought. We partnered with NewPro Containers to change that: migrating their wholesale platform from Magento to Shopify Plus and using the transition to rethink every touchpoint, from product discovery to the invoice that lands in a buyer's inbox. The result is a B2B experience that doesn't just work, it works harder.

Challenges

NewPro had outgrown their legacy Magento platform. A system that was slow to update, difficult to manage internally, and increasingly out of step with the expectations of modern wholesale buyers. Their product catalogue spanned hundreds of SKUs across styles, sizes, and finishes, yet the existing site made it genuinely difficult for trade customers to navigate, compare options, and commit to a purchase. Key interactions, discovering colour variants, filtering by specification, understanding size relationships, were either buried or absent entirely. And at the heart of it was a deeper insight: their primary buyer is a B2B professional, often from an older demographic, who values efficiency and clarity over novelty. They aren't browsing, they're sourcing for real commercial projects. The platform needed to become an indispensable business tool, not just a functional website.

Solutions

We took a full-partnership approach across two strategic phases, platform migration, a ground-up design system, and a complete rethinking of the buyer experience. We restructured product discovery around specification-driven navigation, rebuilt the product detail page to properly communicate size families and buying options, redesigned navigation and search to prioritize purchasing intent, unified the account experience, introduced revenue-capture features like Pre-Order and Notify Me to ensure no sale is lost to stock gaps, branded the checkout for trust and consistency, and extended the NewPro identity into every transactional touchpoint; from account creation emails to invoices to project-sharing tools built for the way trade professionals actually work.

Collection Page

Curating the Catalogue

Every great purchase begins with discovery; and for NewPro's trade buyers, that moment needed to feel effortless. We reimagined the collection page as a curated editorial experience, replacing the tired filter-and-scroll approach with a richly layered landing template where stacked product grids sit alongside purposeful subheadings and an inviting Product Finder entry point.

Active filters now live as elegant removable pills above the grid, a quiet but powerful detail that keeps buyers oriented without ever breaking their flow. We brought colour swatches out of hiding, moving them from a desktop hover state to permanently visible, because a trade professional shouldn't have to interact with a card just to know what's available.
And in renaming the colour filter from "Color" to "Color Family," we addressed something deeper than terminology: we eliminated the moment of doubt that occurs when a selected swatch doesn't perfectly match the delivered product. It's a small linguistic shift that builds enormous trust.

product Page

Every Size, One Click Away

The product detail page is where consideration becomes commitment, and for a catalogue built around style families with dozens of size variants, that page has to do serious work.
We restructured the entire hierarchy, elevating the style name to its rightful place as the primary heading, with the specific size rendered as a clear secondary detail, so buyers instantly understand both what they're looking at and where it lives within the broader family.
A new "Other Sizes Available" component was woven directly into the buying area, turning what was once a frustrating back-button journey into a single click.
The image gallery was rebuilt from the ground up: gone is the unconventional layout that risked cropping the very products buyers came to evaluate, replaced by an intuitive main-image-and-thumbnail carousel that lets the product speak for itself. And across every option, Accessories, Shelving, Drainage, we introduced a unified button-style selector, bringing consistency and clarity to choices that previously required unnecessary clicks and guesswork.

Finding the Right Pot, Faster

Navigation is the architecture of confidence, and for a catalogue spanning hundreds of SKUs, it has to be flawless.
We restructured the mega menu into clean, scannable columns organized by Brands, Shapes, Size, Material, and Usage, reflecting the specification-driven way trade professionals actually think when they're sourcing for a project.
A "View All Planters" link was introduced as a direct on-ramp to the full catalogue, eliminating the friction of forced sub-category navigation for buyers who already know what they need.
On mobile, the entire hierarchy translates into a thoughtful accordion structure that preserves the same logic within the constraints of a smaller screen. And at the top of every page, we made a strategic decision: the primary call-to-action now reads "Apply for Wholesale Account," positioning new customer acquisition as the most visible action on the site and signaling to every visitor exactly what kind of business NewPro is building.

Search Results

Products First, Everything Else Second

When a trade buyer types a query into a search bar, they're not browsing, they're hunting.
We redesigned the search experience around that intent, restructuring results so purchasable products appear first and prominently, complete with stock status badges, pricing, and sale indicators, while supporting editorial and category pages are pushed to a clearly secondary section below.
It's a hierarchy that respects the buyer's time and mirrors their mindset: show me what I can buy, then show me everything else. On both desktop and mobile, a "View all Products" link sits at the top of the results, offering a clean escape to the full catalogue when the initial results don't quite land.
The result is a search experience that feels less like a database query and more like a knowledgeable colleague pulling the right options forward.

Account

A Cleaner View for Busier Buyers

Managing an account should never feel like paperwork. We took what had been two separate pages, one for personal details, another for business information, and unified them into a single, streamlined view that respects the reality of how busy professionals manage their profiles.
Everything lives in one scroll: name, phone, email, and password at the top, with business name, industry, full address, and annual spend below, each field equipped with inline editing so changes happen in place without navigating away.
A persistent sidebar keeps the account's key sections, Orders, Account Information, Tax Certificates, Help,  always within reach.
On mobile, the same structure holds, stacked cleanly and fully functional, because a trade buyer updating their details between site visits shouldn't have to wait until they're back at a desktop.

A Familiar Face Behind Every Account

In B2B, the relationship is the product, and a Help page should reflect that. We transformed what is typically a forgettable support page into a personalised hub that puts the buyer's assigned sales representative front and centre: name, photo, phone number, and email, all immediately visible.
It's a small moment with outsized impact, the kind of detail that makes a wholesale buyer feel known, not processed.
Below, every contact channel is consolidated in one clean layout: phone, toll-free, fax, email, and physical addresses for both headquarters and the distribution centre. No hunting, no dead ends.
The data is maintained manually on an annual cadence, keeping the technical footprint light while delivering a high-touch experience that reinforces the human partnership at the heart of every NewPro account.

A new vision

A new vision

From Cart to Invoice, Unmistakably NewPro

A brand doesn't end at the checkout, it travels with every document, every email, every shared link.
We renamed the wishlist feature to "Projects" because that's how trade professionals think: they're not saving favourites, they're assembling specifications for a real-world job.
The sharing experience was designed to match, with an elegant toggle that lets buyers strip pricing before sending a project to their own clients, a small act of control that elevates them from customer to curator. The invoice was rebuilt as a brand moment in its own right: structured, confident, and unmistakably NewPro, because a beautifully designed invoice doesn't just communicate what's owed, it influences how quickly it gets paid.
And the project sheet carries that same polish, pairing item thumbnails with SKUs, sizes, and finishes in a format that positions NewPro not as a vendor, but as a partner worth building with.
