Design notes.
The books and authors are the stars here, so the site itself has a muted color palette in order to focus user attention where it belongs. Typography is clean and elegant, and information is presented in an organized, easily digestible manner.
Catalog notes.
With a diverse catalog of over 2,500 titles spanning more than seven decades, this UX design for this site required a wide variety of inter-connected user pathways in order to help readers easily discover the rich treasures found within.
A system to automate updates.
With such a large catalog of books, and so many granular data points related to each book, we needed a sensible way to keep this website up to date. So we created a custom data bridge that allows the website to import data directly from Grove’s internal systems on a daily basis, reduces the data entry labor required for upkeep, and ensures the website is always up to date.
