Wildkamp has supplied landscapers, farmers and installers in the Netherlands for more than 50 years. Irrigation, pumps, drainage, fittings. Most customers arrive knowing the article number. For them, the webshop is where they order.
The brand was built for an offline company and never caught up with the webshop. The shop runs on Intershop, and a headless rebuild is one to two years away. So the job was a digital-first house style for the platform Wildkamp has today, written down in a design system.
The brief
Jarola, the company behind Wildkamp, already knew me. I had designed for Wilweb, its newer Shopify shop, and they came back for Wildkamp because that went well. The same BTNG Design Subscription kept running for Wilweb alongside it: a registration form, the cart, email templates and a quick order list.
The brief came down to missing building blocks. No extended colour palette. No type hierarchy for screens. No set of components, so a button got used for whatever needed one. Phase 1 was polish within Intershop, scoped for two months. After the first round, Wildkamp’s digital lead emailed “We say: GO!” and it became the full redesign.
Three jobs and one platform
The briefing gave the site three jobs. Ordering, for the professional who already knows what they need. Soft conversions, like irrigation plans and custom quotes, which feed other departments and were hard to find. And information, in the knowledge centre.
Every screen also had to work in Intershop as it is, or come with a version that does.
