PAPA MURPHY'S PIZZA (CANADA) WEBSITE REDESIGN

Tired Pizza Chain Site Gets A Fun And Mouth-Watering New Look.

/ THE SITUATION

Papa Murphy's Take N Bake Pizza — OLD website
Original Papa Murphy’s Website circa 2020

The Papa Murphy’s Take-N-Bake Pizza Franchise began in 1981 and has been in Canada since 2006. As an offshoot of the considerably larger US chain, they’d been allocated fewer marketing resources and their website had, over time, become dated and difficult for the client to update.

My client and I discussed how the website lacked flavour appeal and seemed to disproportionately focus on attracting new franchisees more than serving the pizza-eating public. The site lacked branding, flavour messages, customers and fun. 

/ THE SOLUTION

We began by looking at the key differences that Papa Murphy’s offered and how to bring them forward.

We realized that their vegan and vegetarian offerings were largely buried. Their freshness story, toppings variety, and rewards club were also brought forward through the use of a series of banners and stacked boxes with gutters between. The approach also modularized their website allowing the client to easily swap new content in and out within the fixed-size areas.

I also worked to provide an improved customer experience when browsing and ordering pizzas.

Previously, a click-to-order would bring users to an attached SAAS-based ordering system. The system was very limited in its ability to accept design or content variations and provided no means to explain or differentiate the different pizza types and flavour profiles.

The addition of the categorized Menu Page ahead of the actual pizza ordering allows customers to understand and appreciate the different categories, and menu offerings with more control over the appearance and additional sales messaging.

/ THE RESULT

Papa Murphy’s Canada is no longer the poorly-dressed cousin to the US site. The new Canadian site is finally positioning Papa Murphy’s as the pizza chain that delivers fresh and flavourful options.
