Website Building for High-Performance Auto Parts Brands

Front Runner Dometic needed more than a basic storefront—they needed a scalable, self-built website to reflect their rugged, adventure-driven brand. The goal was to create a structured, immersive eCommerce platform that captured the spirit of off-road exploration while supporting growth, product discovery, and customer engagement across global markets.

Why a Self-Built Website Was the Right Choice

A pre-made template couldn’t capture the unique personality and functional demands of Front Runner Dometic’s brand. With products made to endure the toughest terrains and climates, their website needed to be equally durable, flexible, and user-oriented. Our self-built website service offered:

• Full control over layout and product presentation
• Integration of adventure-themed visuals and intuitive UX
• Flexibility for ongoing expansion of categories and gear

AIRSANG DESIGN helped guide the client through each step, from platform selection and structure to layout wireframes and launch-ready presentation—without writing a single line of backend code.

Core Execution Strategy

Understanding the Brand Identity First

Before touching any layout tool, we invested time understanding Front Runner’s heritage. Born in Africa and tested across the globe, their equipment resonates with seasoned adventurers. We translated this brand DNA into visual elements—gritty yet clean aesthetics, earthy tones, wide-format desert visuals, and bold product categories.

Laying the Groundwork – Platform & Architecture

Self-Built Without Complexity

We leveraged a flexible CMS that supported our design freedom without requiring custom development. The platform allowed for:

• Clean product hierarchy across categories like “Racks,” “Load Bars,” and “Water Solutions”
• Smart vehicle filtering UX (Year > Make > Model > Option)
• Quick scalability for blog articles, lookbooks, and how-to resources

Intuitive Navigation for Gear Seekers

We structured the top navigation and homepage entry points for two key personas:

• The gear-specific explorer looking for racks and accessories
• The vehicle-specific shopper browsing by make and model

This dual-navigation system enhances usability while aligning with search intent—driving both engagement and conversions.

Visual Design with Purpose

Creating Impactful First Impressions

We designed the banner section to immerse users in the off-road lifestyle with panoramic visuals of fully equipped 4x4s trekking through deserts. Each element in this section—from the “Find Gear by Vehicle” button to the five-star trust badge—reinforces brand authority and directs action.

Structuring for Browsability and Exploration

Grid-Based Layout with Visual Anchors

Using a modular block system, we developed sections for:

• Shop by Category (Racks, Load Bars, Accessories)
• Explore by Use Case (Camping, Storage, Power & Lighting)
• Highlighted Product (Slimline II Roof Rack)
• Video storytelling and blog content

Each section features strong visual hierarchy and call-to-action consistency.

Optimizing for Content Flow

We implemented a layout that supports different content types: product listings, lifestyle videos, community articles, and rewards. The system makes it easy for the brand to update and reorder these modules as their offerings evolve.
