E-commerce Website Development for Made Curtains

Project Overview Made Curtains is a sophisticated e-commerce and service-oriented website for a London-based company specializing in made-to-measure curtains, blinds, and soft furnishings. The platform serves as both a showcase for premium, customizable products and a lead-generation tool for design consultations across the UK. As the developer, I created a refined, user-friendly interface that highlights craftsmanship, quality fabrics, and expert installation, appealing to homeowners seeking elegant, tailored home enhancements.

Key Features and Design Elements

Visual Theme: An elegant, warm color scheme featuring soft neutrals, creams, and subtle accents of teal or gold to evoke luxury and sophistication. High-resolution imagery dominates, showcasing draped curtains in various settings—from modern apartments to traditional homes—with close-ups of textures and patterns. Clean sans-serif typography paired with decorative script fonts adds a touch of artisanal flair, reinforcing the bespoke nature of the offerings. Layout and Navigation: Multi-page structure with intuitive top navigation including categories like "Curtains," "Blinds," "Fabrics," "Services," and "About Us." Hero sections rotate featured collections, while product galleries use grid layouts for easy browsing. Dedicated pages for measuring guides, pricing, and testimonials build trust, with prominent CTAs for quotes or bookings. User Experience: Fully responsive design ensures seamless navigation on all devices, employing smooth animations for image sliders and hover effects on fabric swatches to enhance interactivity. The site prioritizes ease of use with filters for styles (e.g., Roman blinds, velvet curtains), a blog for design inspiration, and integrated contact forms for personalized advice. Accessibility is key, with high-contrast elements and alt text for visuals.
