An update to a globally popular marketplace for website themes and templates

Themeforest-2_2340x1280

Situation

In late 2017, ThemeForest needed to update its marketplace due to an outdated user interface that did not cater well to the increasing mobile audience. The existing design featured small item cards, tiny theme thumbnail imagery, and important information and actions were often hidden from potential buyers.

Task

As part of the project, I was assigned to collaborate with the Envato Market design and product teams to revamp ThemeForest's legacy user interface. The objective was to enhance the user experience, increase conversion rates, and meet the needs of modern theme purchasers.

With the combined efforts of the product design team and myself, buyers could now discover and purchase themes and templates with greater ease and satisfaction.
