Welcome to the uSnacks Blog!
After more than a year of brainstorming, sketching, drafting, doodling, researching, and coding, uSnacks is almost ready. When we first set out to create a better way to buy snacks online we thought uSnacks would simply service the University of Miami. Since then we have expanded our plans substantially.
We designed uSnacks from the ground up to accommodate hundreds of unique operations (no small feat). The inherent complexity in building a new class of online store could have easily overwhelmed the user interface, however we spent a tremendous amount of our time and energy focusing on keeping the site clean, simple, and easy to use.
We had the unique advantage of building uSnacks with the knowledge of over 10 years of online shopping conventions. We studied some of our favorite sites and thought long and hard about what made us love them and what made them “feel” good. We think we have some pretty sweet features in uSnacks, many of which have never been seen before on the Big Boys sites. Over the next few weeks as we draw closer to launch I will detail the parts of the site we think are super cool. So hang in there, we are coming into the home stretch!
