Soylent
Commerce for a Complete Meal Replacement
No Replacement for Great Design + Technology
The Task
After launching in 2014, Soylent quickly became the meal replacement of choice, amongst Silicon Valley programmers. As the brand matured and their following grew, Soylent approached Zehner to replatform their current site in an effort to streamline internal processes. Through our detailed discovery phase, we also proposed design enhancements, which ultimately lead to a complete redesign of Soylent’s eCommerce website.
