A Deep Dive into JONNY’s Complete Website Redesign and Digital Strategy

Introduction

When Green Fields, Israel’s leading cannabis cultivation company, approached JONNY – Digital Made Right, they had a clear mission: revamp their digital presence to reflect their position as an industry innovator.

This case study is an in-depth exploration of our journey in transforming Green Fields’ website from a static, underperforming platform into a cutting-edge, user-friendly digital experience. We cover every aspect of the project—from initial competitor analysis and UX wireframing to Figma design, SEO-optimized copywriting, and website development.

By the end of this article, you’ll understand the detailed process behind a complete website transformation and why partnering with experts who think strategically about digital assets is crucial for long-term online success.


Understanding the Challenge: Green Fields Before the Redesign

Identifying the Problems

Before embarking on a redesign, we conducted a comprehensive audit of Green Fields’ existing website to identify key issues:

Problem AreaIssues Identified
DesignOutdated UI, inconsistent branding, poor use of visuals
User Experience (UX)Confusing navigation, lack of intuitive structure, slow page speed
ContentText-heavy pages, no clear brand story, poor SEO implementation
PerformanceHigh bounce rates, low mobile compatibility, weak conversion pathways
SEO & VisibilityWeak keyword strategy, missing metadata, poor backlink profile

Competitor Benchmarking

We analyzed competitors in the cannabis, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries to identify best practices. Our research found that leading companies excelled in:

  • Storytelling through high-quality visuals and clear messaging.
  • User-friendly navigation and intuitive interfaces.
  • Advanced SEO strategies targeting industry-specific keywords.

From this research, we established a benchmark goalGreen Fields’ new website needed to surpass industry standards in UX, performance, and SEO.


The Wireframing Process: Crafting a User-Centric Structure

With clear objectives in place, we moved on to wireframing—the process of creating the skeleton of the website before finalizing design elements.

Steps in Wireframing:

  1. Content Hierarchy Definition – Organizing the most critical information in a logical structure.
  2. Navigation Flow Mapping – Creating user pathways that enhance engagement and conversion.
  3. Low-Fidelity Sketching – Drafting rough wireframes for initial client approval.
  4. Interactive Wireframe Development – Using Figma to create clickable prototypes.

The Figma Design Phase: Bringing the Vision to Life

Once the wireframes were approved, our design team crafted high-fidelity mockups in Figma, ensuring a modern, immersive design that aligned with Green Fields’ brand identity.

Design Considerations:

  • Color Palette: Inspired by natural tones (greens, golds, browns) to emphasize organic production.
  • Typography: Clean, modern sans-serif fonts for readability.
  • Imagery: Custom photography of Green Fields’ facilities to enhance authenticity.
  • Animations: Subtle interactions for a dynamic feel (e.g., hover effects, parallax scrolling).
