Project Objectives

Develop a website that effectively showcases the art business’s product lines, including stationery, stickers, and giclée prints.
Provide a seamless shopping experience with an intuitive design that highlights product quality and artistry.
Create a visually cohesive brand experience that reflects the style of the artist and implements their unique artistic story.
Optimize for both desktop and mobile to reach a wider audience.

Target Audience

Art enthusiasts, stationery lovers, and customers interested in unique, high-quality products.

Creative Direction

Theme & Layout:
An engaging layout that allowed the artwork to be the focal point of the site but also showed personality.
Emphasis on visual storytelling through curated product images, portfolio sections, and artistic descriptions.
Easy navigation with clear sections for each product category (Stationery, Stickers, Giclée Prints, Christmas Cards, etc.).
Color Scheme & Typography:
A color palette inspired by the artist’s works— lilac backgrounds and peach accents drawn from the artwork itself to keep a cohesive, friendly feel.
Typography should feel artistic yet simple: modern, sans-serif fonts that complement rather than overpower the visuals.
Imagery & Design Elements:
High-quality images of products, with close-up shots to highlight texture and detail.
Artistic touches throughout, like subtle, branded icons or background elements that reflect the artist’s style.
Functionality & User Experience:
A smooth e-commerce experience, including simple navigation, easy-to-use cart functionality, and secure checkout.
Mobile-optimized design to provide a seamless experience across devices.
Potential blog section for updates, behind-the-scenes posts, and stories behind the artwork to deepen customer connection.

Technical Requirements

Platform: Preferably a user-friendly CMS (Squarespace) that allows easy updating and product management.
SEO & Marketing: Basic SEO setup for visibility, and integration with social media channels for cross-promotion.
Analytics: Google Analytics integration for tracking site performance and customer behavior.
Security: SSL certification and secure payment gateway integration to protect customer data.
