Challenges

Dark Systems needed a strong digital presence and e-commerce platform to showcase highly technical K9 protection gear, helmets, electronics, and accessories that serve military, law enforcement, and SAR teams. The challenge was to translate complex product specs into clear, credible online experiences that build trust for mission-critical buyers.

GOAL

Design and develop a robust web platform that clearly communicates product value, technical reliability, and field performance while providing a seamless browsing and purchasing experience for a professional audience.

Target Audience

Professional K9 handlers, military procurement officers, law enforcement agencies, and search-and-rescue teams who require advanced protective gear and reliable access to product details, specs, and ordering capabilities.

Our Role

Design
Develop.

We designed & developed the Dark Systems platform. This included designing the User Experience for product discovery, specification clarity, checkout flows, and content structure. The complete User Interface was designed in FIGMA and then developed into a responsive e-commerce store.

Collaboration

Worked directly with the Dark Systems leadership and product specialists to understand the detailed use cases and performance expectations for their gear. Regular alignment sessions ensured that product hierarchy, messaging, and visuals supported both technical credibility and smooth user journeys from discovery to checkout.

Contributions

Led the end-to-end creation of the Dark Systems web platform. Designed comprehensive user flows, high-fidelity screens, and a modular design system in Figma to support future scalability. Developed the fully functional web platform in Bubble.io, implementing product catalogs, detailed specs pages, responsive layouts, and checkout value paths tailored to professional buyers.
