Korean food, sold like a story. Not a spec sheet.

Product detail pages built around appetite, origin, and trust, so the right buyer can see what they need before they have to look for it.

Food marketplace detail-page redesign — hero mockup
Overview

What the project was

Sellers on the marketplace had great products and weak detail pages. Listings looked alike: same hero, same bullets, same trust signals. The opportunity was to redesign the page so a product's story could earn the trust that turns a browser into a buyer.

Approach

How I worked

01

Listing audit

Walked through competing pages and mapped what was actually working versus what was filler.

02

Story framework

Defined the modules a strong page needed: appetite, story, evidence, action.

03

Layout testing

Tried a few rhythms and landed on the one that surfaced trust earliest in the scroll.

04

Template system

Turned it into category-flavoured templates the seller team could fill in without losing the design.

Highlights

Pages that lead with the food, finish with the cart.

Squid-stir-fry detail page leading with the food, then the story
갑오징어볶음 detail page: the dish framed by hand-styled Korean typography and copy that sells the taste, not a spec list.
Soy-marinated crab detail page emphasising origin and craft
간장게장 detail page: domestic crab and house-made soy marinade, with the food shown from multiple angles.
Prawn detail page with appetite-led typography over the dish
대하장 detail page: plump domestic prawns over rice, the brand name set as the visual anchor.
Honest product detail page with no fillers, just the ingredient and the promise
Selling with honesty: no fillers, just the ingredient and the promise behind it.
Gunsan crab detail page using regional identity as a trust signal
Regional identity as a trust signal: Gunsan crab, caught where the river meets the sea.
Reflection

What I took away

Food e-commerce isn't a spec problem, it's a trust problem. Buyers want to know who made it and what it'll feel like to eat. Every module on the page had to answer one of those.
