Audit & Diagnosis
Full brand and site audit: 5 critical issues, 6 opportunities, 5 core strengths, brand identity assessment, and prioritized recommendations.
Site Map: Old & New
Current genpet.org structure (BigCommerce, 21 pages) vs. proposed PIR platform architecture. Page-by-page action table: keep, move, restructure, retire.
Design Influences
Four reference websites curated to guide the GenPet redesign: founder-built brand narrative, B2B wholesale design, natural food brand analog, and premium pet brand storytelling.
Design System
Generation Pet color palette extracted from genpet.org, typography, WCAG pairings, tint steps, and CSS token reference. Source of truth for all mockups.
