Meet Potatoes USA

Potatoes USA partnered with Webolutions to redesign PotatoGoodness.com, their international digital hub serving foodservice leaders, retailers, culinary professionals, and consumers. Their existing site was rich in content but difficult to navigate, offering a fragmented experience across diverse audiences and use cases.

Webolutions led a strategic redesign focused on clarity, audience relevance, and intentional user pathways. The new website organizes content around six core user groups, making it faster and easier for each audience to find what matters most to them. The updated recipe system delivers a more modern experience through improved visuals, filtering, and accessibility — transforming content from static resources into an engaging exploration experience.

The result is a scalable digital platform aligned with the organization’s global mission, designed to support education, influence purchase decisions, and strengthen trust in potato nutrition and versatility across industries and audiences.

Business Goals

Potatoes USA needed a digital experience that could serve a wide range of stakeholders—with clarity, purpose, and ease. The primary objectives included:

  • Restructure the website around distinct user journeys so each audience could find relevant content quickly and confidently.

  • Improve the recipe experience with better presentation, stronger visual appeal, and simplified access to nutrition, preparation, and filtering options.

  • Create a scalable platform capable of supporting future content growth and evolving audience needs.

  • Ensure alignment with brand purpose and messaging, reinforcing potatoes as a nutritious, versatile food choice for consumers and professionals.

The goal wasn’t just to modernize the website — it was to transform it into a strategic resource that supports education, improves engagement, and strengthens the organization’s national and global impact.

Challenges

PotatoGoodness.com served multiple audiences with different needs, motivations, and goals — but the previous site treated them as a single user group. This created confusion, longer navigation paths, and missed opportunities to engage visitors with the most relevant content.

  • The site’s structure lacked clear wayfinding for key audiences, making it difficult for users to find research, recipes, or professional resources aligned to their role.

  • Recipe content was valuable, but the presentation was outdated and not optimized for browsing, filtering, or visual engagement — limiting its effectiveness as a flagship content experience.

  • Existing content volume was high, but organization and hierarchy made the site feel overwhelming rather than helpful, especially for first-time visitors.

  • The digital experience wasn’t fully aligned with the organization’s mission to educate, inspire confidence, and elevate the role of potatoes in foodservice, retail, and consumer environments.

The challenge wasn’t a lack of content — it was creating structure, clarity, and usability so the content could do its job.

  • Audience-specific navigation and color systems now guide each user group through content designed specifically for them, improving clarity and reducing friction throughout the site experience.

  • Custom post types for recipes, FAQs, resources, and team information standardize content structure and make ongoing updates seamless for the Potatoes USA team.

  • A modernized recipe experience features richer imagery, improved filtering, and a more intuitive layout, helping users explore options based on ingredients, dietary preferences, or preparation method.

  • Enhanced search experience and redesigned content blocks make it easier for visitors to browse, discover, and interact with high-value content across the site.

  • The completed website was recognized with a Communicator Award (Food & Beverage Category), validating both its strategic clarity and the strength of its user-focused design.

The new site now functions as a dynamic platform. Built to grow, evolve, and continue supporting Potatoes USA’s mission to educate, inspire, and elevate the role of potatoes across consumer, culinary, and industry audiences.
