Shop for an assistive product · uControll
Helping people choose the right assistive device and order it with confidence.
uControll makes a quiet, battery-powered opener for interior doors, so people with limited mobility can move through their homes on their own terms. I designed and built the storefront around the two moments that decide everything: choosing the right setup, and trusting the product before you order.

The challenge
A personal purchase, made by someone who may be struggling.
The people uControll exists for — seniors, wheelchair users, anyone recovering from injury — are often buying while managing pain or worry, and the purchase changes daily life at home. They arrive with real questions: will it work on my doors, what happens when the battery runs out, and which set fits my home?
Selling online is harder when the product is personal. Every unclear answer costs trust, and trust is what a purchase like this runs on.
The approach
Start with the visitor's next decision.
I organized the site around understanding the product, choosing the right setup for the home, and seeing it in use, so buyers could answer their own questions before ordering.
The solution · Small things, big impact
Five details that make a considered purchase easier.
- Audience named. The badge says who the product is for before any scrolling.
- A customer quote. Agnes uses hers fifteen to twenty times a day — real use, in her words.
- Quick facts. Doors per system, battery life, and no marks, all at a glance.
A first screen that names who it is for.
The small thing
A Designed for limited mobility badge sits above the headline Open every door, on your own terms, next to a customer quote and three quick facts: six doors per system, two weeks on one charge, zero marks on the door.
What it can do for a business
Visitors decide in seconds whether a site is for them. Naming the audience plainly, with proof from a real customer, keeps the people who need it from second-guessing and moving on.
- One number, one choice. A door count and a space type are the only questions.
- Recommendation with price. The package, its price, and what is included, together.
- One clear button. Add the recommended package straight to the cart.
Two questions to the right package.
The small thing
The configurator asks how many interior doors need control and what type of space it is, then recommends a package with its price and a single add-to-cart button.
What it can do for a business
Most visitors are not sure which set they need. Answering two plain questions gets them to a confident choice instead of a support email or an abandoned cart, and it protects the business from wrong purchases.
- Limits repeated. Interior doors only appears where the decision is made.
- What it is not. Exterior, entry, and garage doors are ruled out in plain words.
- Features that answer doubts. Battery life and manual operation are on the checklist.
Clear limits, before the purchase.
The small thing
The shop states For interior doors only in several places, and the product description says plainly what the system is not designed for: exterior, entry, or garage doors.
What it can do for a business
An assistive product that fails someone's door fails them twice — once at the door and once at the return. Honest limits build trust with the right buyers and spare both sides from disappointing orders.
- Three tabs. Videos, testimonials, and FAQ stay one tap away.
- Real footage. The video shows the system working on a real door.
Proof before purchase.
The small thing
A See it in action page gathers a walkthrough video, customer stories, and an FAQ behind three simple tabs.
What it can do for a business
A device someone uses every day is a leap of trust. Seeing it work, hearing from people who live with it, and finding answers in one place gives hesitant buyers a reason to finish.
- Readable first screen. Headline, promise, and buttons sized for a phone.
- Cart in the header. Shopping stays possible at any point.
A first screen that works one-handed.
The small thing
On a phone, the headline and the two main buttons stack in a readable order, and the cart stays reachable in the header.
What it can do for a business
Family members often shop for a parent on their phone between other tasks. A first screen that reads easily on small screens keeps the decision moving instead of deferring it to later.
The outcome
A clearer experience, with results still to measure.

Lessons for any small business selling online.
Say who it is for.
A badge or a line naming your customer does more than a page of features.
Help the undecided choose.
A two-question configurator turns browsing into a confident order.
Put the limits up front.
Saying what a product is not for earns trust and prevents returns.
Show it in use.
Video and customer stories answer the doubts a spec list cannot.
Be honest about availability.
When orders pause, saying so plainly keeps trust for the day they reopen.
