Zendulgence Hemp Gelato

Washington, D.C.

Website: zendulgence.com
Dedicated to eating healthy food that is produced without harming animals or our planet, Asher Radkowsky created Zendulgence gelato — a frozen dessert made with hemp milk from hemp seeds, which are packed with essential omega-3 fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber and sweetened with low-glycemic agave syrup.

Site features: The site design is based on the Zendulgence container labels using the logo, colors and featured messages for consistent branding efforts. The home page is designed differently than the interior pages to draw attention to the unique ingredients that make this gelato special. The site's content and tone is personable rather than dry 'corporate-speak.' Enthusiastic consumer raves from across the country help promote interest. To keep the number of items on the navigation menu manageable, a drop down menu expands category choices.
