Sharbatly | A Digital Evolution for a Legacy Brand

For over 90 years, Sharbatly has led the fresh produce industry with premium fruits and vegetables, trusted by businesses and consumers alike. Despite this strong market reputation, their digital presence lacked the innovation and modern functionality to match their legacy. CentricDXB stepped in to reimagine Sharbatly’s website—transforming it into a visually compelling, highly functional, and strategically engaging digital hub.

An Outdated Digital Presence

  • Challenge
The existing Sharbatly website was no longer meeting user expectations. The design felt outdated, and the content was inconsistent, which negatively impacted user engagement. Inconsistent branding was a significant issue, with the names of key stakeholders appearing in multiple variations across the site, leading to confusion. Additionally, many images were old and lacked visual appeal, giving an impression that didn’t match Sharbatly’s high standards. The limited content strategy left the site without engaging features such as interactive elements or storytelling components to capture visitors’ attention. Poor navigation further added to the problem, as visitors found it challenging to access essential information quickly and efficiently. This resulted in reduced user engagement and conversions. Sharbatly needed a comprehensive digital overhaul that would showcase their rich heritage while improving the overall user journey.

A User-Centric Digital Experience Rooted in Sharbatly’s Legacy

  • Solution
Centric stepped in with a multi-faceted approach to address these challenges and create a modern, user-centric website that honored Sharbatly’s history while enhancing functionality and engagement. A fresh, visually stunning design was introduced, with intuitive navigation and a modern layout. To highlight Sharbatly’s 93-year journey, a visually engaging History Timeline was added, telling their story from inception to the present day. A Fresh Produce Page was designed, showcasing their top 20 products with detailed descriptions and nutritional information, complete with links to Sharbatly Club for seamless purchasing. Additionally, a Recipes Page featuring new recipe content using Sharbatly’s fruits was developed to inspire users and keep them engaged on the site for longer periods.
The website content was rewritten and standardized to ensure consistency in messaging and tone. Business-related content was emphasized to align with their B2B focus, while B2C mentions were kept subtle and strategic. The new site was also designed for easy navigation, with a focus on usability and aesthetics. Improved call-to-action (CTA) placements were strategically implemented to encourage visitors to engage more actively with the site, enhancing the overall user experience.
