The Solution

icon
Our full-scale team of designers, developers and project managers fully understood their unique business model and needs and thereafter, customised and created a new price comparison site offering last minute deals on products, discounted coupons, and price comparison on mobiles, broadband and utilities for UK bargain hunters.
icon
Our team is an ongoing affiliate partner, and work on every technical aspect of the website and data integration to help them flourish. We are a fully managed solution and tech provider and are always working and developing on any new interactive modules to assist with their project requirements.
icon
We aggregated over 5,000 UK stores and integrated this data with Slick UK Deals, allowing their customers to save money online. This large database helps to retain and attract new and returning visitors.
icon
We have developed the interface so that the platform allows users to search deals based in their area and compare features across different verticals to help them make the best decision and not just on price itself. This is perfect solution, as it lowers the barriers of users switching to other websites as all options are in one place. Plus, it makes it easy for shoppers to easily know the differing competing prices across stores.
icon
We have also created mobile apps on iOS so users can browse, compare and shop on the go. The design was created based on the needs of the app users too. Additionally, we provided Chrome, Safari and Firefox browser extensions that ensure the user will never miss a cashback opportunity even when they are shopping through the search engines.

New UI Designs

Prototypes were produced and sent togather any feedback as we wanted to ensure our clients were happy. We created different variations and inceptions to help build a solid base for the website wireframe and design, and to understand the clients thoughts.

Implementation

The Slick UK Deals was designed and developed in three core phases:

Phase 1

The first phase of eight weeks consisted of expanding the capabilities of the website, developing and designing it so that it has an integration functionality with access to thousands of UK stores, giving the website the ability to dynamically display the latest, last minute deals and offers.

Phase 2

The second phase of six weeks consisted of developing a price comparison module, giving users the ability to not only compare prices but features across energy, loans, mortgage, broadband and more. Our solution also allows them to switch instantly, if they wish to go ahead with another supplier.

Phase 3

The last phase meant our team of designers worked on the UI, to make for easier navigation to find the best deals they have in mind and to easily save and share these on their social media or on the website itself. They developed a skin that is simple yet effective.

RevGlue was and still is responsible for all design, development and integration with the price comparison deals, and the hosting of the Slick UK Deals website. We completed the project in only 14 weeks to launch the website ready for the festive period, when more shoppers are looking for the best deals.

Slick UK Deals is a dynamic, responsive price comparison and last-minute deals website, facilitating users to compare andsave money in seconds. We collaborated with the client to ensure we can pool any useful information and knowledge to help us create and develop a website and app that was the most effective as possible. Following our meetings, we combined the knowledge we gathered with online research for inspiration and to understand user behaviour. This helped us use our findings to create a website that facilitates an easy journey as well as increase stickiness and time spent on the page.
