ORLY

ORLY, a leader in the nail cosmetics industry, approached ZehnerGroup to give their online presence and store a radical facelift. Working with both ZG and ORLY, I gave the site a fashionably spare feel that would allow the company’s evolving and shifting product lines to shine. Through photography and a reliance on the color stories the company was known for, their new site is a window into the ever-changing world of color.

The team at ORLY wanted their new site to be capable of showcasing the stories behind the colors that come out in each new collection. I developed a workable, editorial layout style to inspire their internal teams.

I developed a complementary style for the primary ORLY sub-brand, SpaRitual. This separate site has a feel of its own, although the store portions work the same as the parent company’s site.
