SmartPlant Website — the experienceFROM INTENTION TO INTERACTION.
01 / THE CHALLENGE

A problem
worth solving.

SmartPlant connects people caring for plants with an industry of retailers, growers, breeders and manufacturers. The website needs to make those relationships understandable without asking either audience to navigate the other’s entire world.

The updated experience gives GardenSage a welcoming consumer entry point, then opens a distinct business journey. Real horticultural expertise is the common thread: what the guidance comes from, how people use it, and how the wider ecosystem supports it.

02 / THE THINKING BEHIND IT

Intentional at
every turn.

  1. 01

    Led the consumer experience with GardenSage’s character, a botanical setting and a clear introduction to location-aware plant guidance.

  2. 02

    Organized the story around practical actions—know, choose, solve, find and connect—so product capabilities relate to a person’s next decision.

  3. 03

    Used product walkthroughs, app previews and clear download paths to connect the website’s promise to the experience inside GardenSage.

  4. 04

    Gave business audiences their own entry point, with dedicated paths for growers, breeders, retailers and manufacturers.

  5. 05

    Connected the product pages through a shared visual language while giving Plant Manager, retailer solutions and the consumer app distinct explanations.
