I've been active as an independent on @contra for over 2 years now.
This year also marks 3+ years of building high-converting Shopify pages with Replo, and honestly, I can say Contra has been a huge part of my growth as an independent.
Itโs been amazing having one place to work with great clients, manage projects and payments, and showcase the work Iโm proud of.
Big thanks to @contraben and the entire Contra team for what theyโre building and the opportunities they continue to create for independents.
$10K down. Still chasing that $50K target before the end of the year. ๐ฏ
A fashion storefront needs to show the outfit and make its individual pieces easy to find.
For FORM, I paired a warm, editorial lookbook with clearly grouped product names, prices, and size choices.
Cream surfaces, charcoal typography, and consistent product cards connect the homepage with the desktop and mobile screen concepts.
One useful design principle from this project: give campaign imagery and shopping details their own readable zones. The collection can have a strong visual presence while the next product decision stays clear.
So seeing our client, Shaws of Covent Garden, ranking on Google's first page for searches like โluxury florist central Londonโ feels pretty special!
We redesigned and developed their Shopify website, with SEO built in from day one.
Same family business since 1946. A fresh digital presence. And now, more visibility where it matters.
Good design gets attention. Good SEO gets you found.
Building SEO in from day one rather than bolting it on later is what makes a result like this possible. First page for luxury florist in central London is a tough ranking, nice work.
How do you design a store when every product is black? That was the challenge behind VAEL, a brand selling 15 pieces in two editions: Onyx and Contrast.
With no colour to guide shoppers, the design had to do it. Bold condensed type sets the tone, clean outlines show what's selected, and one soft pink highlights sales and rewards.
I designed 20 screens for desktop and mobile, in light and dark mode, from the homepage all the way to checkout.
The result is a store as sharp as the product, and easy to shop. Live demo: https://claude.ai/code/artifact/4e953fd5-47c5-4429-ae8f-e6550690f47b
