My First Shopify Site is Complete

Hannah — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:39:07 +0000

I recently designed and developed my first Shopify online store for a small start up company.

Alfresco By Design sell a wide range of outdoor goods ranging from picnic sets and barbecue cutlery to gardening bags and bucket candles. The brief was to design and develop a modern and clean looking site ready for the spring/summer trade season.

You can see the completed site at www.alfrescobydesign.co.uk.

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for a review of Shopify and a comparison with my experiences of Cubecart.

The Curious Caterpillar is Launched!

Over the last few months I have been designing and building an ecommerce site for for my sister in laws party bag company. The site is now live at: http://www.thecuriouscaterpillar.co.uk

The Brief

The brief for this project was to redesign and rebuild The Curious Caterpillar site. Their current site was not functioning as required and was far from user friendly with a design that required left and right scrolling for 1024×768 users and lots of clicks for users before they could locate the desired product.

The Solution

I designed a site that was more user friendly and had bundles more fun. The site was built using cubecart,PHP, XHTML and CSS. I have had several oportunities to use cubecart prior to this project and find it one of the easiest shops to theme and build, and one of the few that adhears to web standards.

The caterpillar is featured across the site (on top of the shopping basket, on the titles and progress bar for the shopping cart.) to reinforce the branding.

Conclusion

This site has been a real pleasure to work on, its allowed me to be really creative with their identity , and was an excellent opportunity to brush up on my cubecart skills.
