FuelRod™ is a reusable charging system for all types of devices, phones, laptops,s, and tablets. FuelRod™  allows you to fuel (charge) your mobile device on the go, and then recharge or swap it for a fresh one.

Project Overview

The FuelRod™ is the first reusable, patented, portable charging system that allows you to fuel (charge) your mobile device on the go, and then recharge or swap for a fresh one.

Goals

The goal of the project was to Redesign the Full FuelRod™ website in a way that highlights its value as a one-stop-shop recharging platform, create better navigation systems and add more useful features such as product checkout, an add-to-cart, and a search bar for a modern e-commerce site; where users can educate, get access to purchase the product and extra items, swap the empty charger, join the membership, find the location of their kiosks, and download the Fuelrod App.
