How Lazarev.agency redesigned Shiplux to make transparent vehicle shipping the easy choice
Project:
the project
Clear pricing and on-platform control to lift quote requests
Shiplux is a vehicle shipping platform for people moving cars, RVs, and trailers across states and borders. It had the operational muscle to move vehicles reliably, but its product experience hid the two things customers most needed to see: what a shipment costs and where it stands.
Vehicle transport is a nervous purchase. Prices swing with distance and shipping method, and opaque brokers lock quotes behind a form. Leave buyers uncertain about price and status, and they keep shopping around, so quote requests never become bookings.
Lazarev.agency redesigned Shiplux's vehicle shipping platform into a decision-focused booking experience. The redesign put key steps on the first screen and pulled status and messaging into the shipment itself. Customers now understand their options and follow a booking from quote to pickup without leaving the platform.
The Project’s
Discovery Phase
Opened a quote request on the first screen
Shiplux's homepage is the first test of whether a nervous shipper stays or clicks back to a competitor. Lazarev.agency rebuilt the homepage so a visitor can see what Shiplux does and start a price quote by entering where the vehicle is picked up and dropped off.
Now, the service and a price request share the same view, and a first-time visitor can request a price in seconds.Â
Matched each shipping type to its own page
On Shiplux's platform, the person moving heavy equipment and the person moving a sedan arrive with the same worry about price and risk, and little patience for pages written for someone else.Â
Lazarev.agency built a dedicated page for each shipping type. A buyer never has to read past services for other vehicles, and the reassurance a nervous shipper needs meets them at the point of decision. A single general menu once left buyers to figure out which service fit them. Now each page speaks to one type of move and asks that buyer for a price.
Put support on every channel a customer uses
A Shiplux shipment takes days, and a nervous customer's questions can come at any hour. Lazarev.agency made Shiplux's support reachable on every channel a customer already uses.Â
The customer picks the channel they like and reaches a person without hunting for a hidden form or waiting on a single inbox. Where rival brokers push people off-platform and out of reach between quote and delivery, Shiplux stays one message away.
Backed the booking with proof from real buyers
A first-time Shiplux customer is handing a valuable vehicle to a company they found online, and the company's own promises only go so far. Lazarev.agency set up a customer-reviews section on Shiplux, where real buyers, the vehicles they shipped, and their ratings appear side by side as proof.Â
Seeing a named owner trust the company with a high-value vehicle tips a hesitant visitor toward a quote, and steadies the nerve it takes to ship a prized car with a company found online.

For Shiplux, Lazarev.agency built dedicated service pages, placed a Get a Quote entry on the first screen, and paired reviews with each offer, so growth never reintroduces the old confusion.
