With this refresh, even first-time eSIM users can more easily see where to look and what to do next. At Bloomy eSIM, we've organized the basic principles behind our visual design—things like color choices and how text is presented—to make getting ready for a trip abroad just a little lighter. In this article, we'll share the thinking behind our design choices and how they translate into a better experience.
What We Refreshed
We organized the principles for the colors and typography used across every Bloomy eSIM screen. Our foundation is three colors: white, soft blue, and navy. White creates generous breathing room, soft blue adds a sense of gentleness, and navy brings a grounded, trustworthy feel—so that even screens with a lot of information stay calm and easy to read.
We also revisited the balance of weight and size across headings, body text, and buttons. Without over-emphasizing anything, we set clear visual priorities so it feels natural to know where to look and which button to tap next.
Why We Focused on Design
For first-time users, an eSIM can feel a bit daunting. You may need to adjust settings on your phone, and once you arrive at your destination you might wonder, "Will this actually connect?" It's easy to feel uncertain both before and after a purchase.
In moments like these, a cluttered screen, hard-to-read text, or unclear buttons only add to the worry. On the other hand, a clean, well-organized screen can in itself create a sense of reassurance—a feeling that this is a service built with real care. Because Bloomy eSIM values being easy to navigate for first-timers, not just affordable, we chose to refine the visuals early on.
What This Means for You
By organizing our design principles, readability and clarity improve in situations like these:
- When comparing plans, it's easier to tell data allowances, validity periods, and prices apart.
- During checkout, the next button to tap is clearer, so there's less hesitation.
- On pages that explain settings and usage, you can follow the steps calmly.
- Even on a small phone screen, tidy text and spacing make it easier on the eyes.
The lead-up to a trip can feel hectic, with packing and arrangements to sort out. That's exactly when a clear, well-organized screen can take one small task off your plate.
The Bloomy Touch
What matters most to Bloomy eSIM is a sense of warmth, cleanliness, and reassurance. Rather than grabbing attention with bold colors or flashy decoration, our design leans on white space and soft blue to create a feeling that quietly stays by your side.
Our brand character, "Bloomy"—a gentle character with a white flower blooming on its head—plays a part in this too. We're careful not to overuse it or make things feel childish; instead, it appears only where it won't get in the way of comparing or buying, helping to ease a little of the nervousness that comes with a first trip abroad. When it comes to the important moments of comparing and purchasing, we let the information take center stage, and add the Bloomy touch where a sense of reassurance helps.
A Closer Look: Why a Reassuring Look Makes Things Easier to Use
People often think "design is about appearances, separate from function," but in reality the two are closely linked. When you set up mobile connectivity for travel, for example, you make a series of decisions: which country's plan to choose, how much data you'll need, how many days you want, when to handle the settings. The more decisions there are, the heavier the mental load.
When the screen is well organized, the hesitation around each individual decision shrinks. If color and spacing make it clear what's important and what's supplementary, readers naturally take in the key information first. Conversely, when text sizes and colors are all over the place, it's hard to tell what matters, and people end up re-reading more often.
Phones in particular have small screens and are often viewed on the move or during the busy moments before departure. That's exactly why generous spacing, readable text, and clearly defined buttons translate directly into less hesitation and easier use. Bloomy eSIM set its visual principles early precisely because we believe the look is part of the experience.
Another thing that matters is consistency. When comparison pages, the checkout flow, setup guidance, and your account page all use the same colors and present buttons the same way, you can intuitively sense "this is the button to tap" even on a page you've never seen before. When the look changes from page to page, you're forced to relearn how to operate each one. Settling on shared principles helps reduce that relearning burden.
Looking Ahead
We see design as something that's never truly finished—it's refined little by little as people actually use it. We'll keep revisiting our layouts and presentation to make screens even clearer and easier to navigate. If anything catches your attention, we'd love to hear from you through our contact page.
