Challenge
A culture as a market

Powersports isn't a passive category. The people buying OEM replacement parts are riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who know exactly what they need and have zero patience for a digital experience that wastes their time. The brand had to feel native to that world; rugged, direct, and credible.

At the same time, Partzilla's core function is pure utility: a vast, searchable catalogue of OEM parts across dozens of makes, models, and years. With an inventory of that scale, the information architecture had to be excellent.

Approach
One system, two voices

I built both brands from the ground up as a coherent family, Distinct enough to serve different functions, connected enough to feel like a unified ecosystem. Partzilla is the parts platform, the engine of the business. Ridezilla is the dealership face: same roots, bold & purposeful.

Alongside the brand work, I redesigned the full Partzilla site. Rebuilding the hierarchy and navigation from the ground up to make a massive inventory feel immediately searchable and easy to navigate.

Outcome
9 million orders shipped

The Partzilla brand gave a high-volume, category-defining platform a visual identity that finally matched its market position. The redesigned site made a massive inventory feel easier to navigate, built for users who know what they need and expect to find it fast.

Ridezilla launched as a credible companion brand within the same ecosystem, extending the Outdoor Network's reach into the dealership space. Partzilla and Boats.net have continued to operate as two of the most prominent OEM parts platforms in the US powersports and marine markets. A foundation built in part on the brand system and digital experience established in 2012.

Brand & Identity Systems

I built both brands from the ground up as a coherent family & unified ecosystem.

Partzilla is the parts platform; the engine of the business. The visual identity needed to reflect its scale while resonating with the rugged, outdoors-focused riders.

Ridezilla, the dealership brand, had to clearly represent the Zilla family.

  • Full brand identity for Partzilla & Ridezilla. Logo, color, type, tone of voice.
  • Brand guidelines covering digital, print, and advertising for both platforms.

website Design

The existing site had a problem displaying their huge SKU catalogue.

I redesigned the full site structure and UI, building a clearer hierarchy, more intuitive search pathways, and a visual design made the catalogue easier and more enjoyable to navigate.

  • Complete website redesign. Information architecture, UI, and front-end development
  • Information architecture for high-SKU OEM parts catalogue
  • UI designed for the practical, efficiency-focused powersports buyers

Summary

Partzilla.com is part of the Outdoor Network (ODN), a group of websites, authorized dealerships, and major distribution facilities. PG Studio worked closely as the brand specialist since 2012, creating 10+ brands for this conglomerate of businesses. Partzilla and Ridezilla being one of the first ones. Although some small parts of my original webdesign still exist, over 10 years is a long time to not update a website. If their “new” set up is better... well, that's for you to decide.
