The purpose of this project is to create a tailored web platform that showcases SalsaGrill’s New BBQ Sauce and Rubs.

The bottled products are just the next step in the restaurant’s history of good taste. The sauces and rubs are made for Beef, Chicken, and Pork.

The product will be sold in local food stores and on Amazon.

Personas

I created three personas who would purchase the product based on first-round testing and created a scenario upon which the SalsaGrill Web platform prototype would benefit the product overall. Testing, was based on in-person and email interviews and I was able to target the type of problems people may encounter when purchasing the product online.
