Brief Project Description

Artora is a modern, gallery-inspired online art store designed for a client who wanted to showcase and sell her original artwork through a refined digital experience. The objective was to create a minimalist ecommerce website where the artwork remains the focal point while delivering an elegant, editorial aesthetic.

The design combines generous white space, custom typography, thoughtful layouts, and subtle interactions to create an immersive browsing experience. Every section was carefully crafted to reflect the client's vision and provide a premium shopping experience for collectors and art enthusiasts.

This website serves as the design prototype for client approval. Once approved, I will recreate it as a fully functional ecommerce website in the client's Squarespace account.

How I Used Squarespace & Finish Layer

This project was built using Squarespace Fluid Engine and enhanced with Finish Layer to create a polished, interactive experience.

Squarespace Native Design Tools

Designed the entire website with Squarespace Fluid Engine.

Created responsive layouts optimized for desktop and mobile.

Built product, gallery, and content pages using native Squarespace blocks.

Uploaded custom fonts to establish a distinctive visual identity.

Used Squarespace's built-in typography, spacing, color, and layout controls throughout the site.

Finish Layer

Finish Layer was used selectively to enhance the user experience while preserving the clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Block Animations add subtle motion as visitors scroll through the website.

Block Transforms create layered, editorial-style compositions that add visual depth.

Stacks were used extensively on the Gallery page to create dynamic artwork layouts with precise alignment and spacing.

The combination of Squarespace's native design capabilities and Finish Layer allowed me to transform the client's vision into a premium online art store that feels modern, immersive, and engaging.
