Project Info
Challenge
Before we could begin the project, Denise and I worked closely together to resolve some complications caused by duplicated domain names and WordPress.com account details. Once this was completed, the next major challenge came in linking up the live online store with Denise’s impressive following on Instagram and Facebook. This allows it to pull through up to date product information and images.
Solution
Despite a few complications, I was able to successfully pair up the website’s online store with these social media accounts which means that customers can now view Denise’s ceramics from within both Instagram and Facebook’s product catalogue. In addition to this, I also created a booking system for her users to search for workshops which they would like to attend and then purchase tickets to gain access to them.

Website Design
For this website, we chose three main colours; white, black and subdued blue, plus the additional yellow seen in various places. These were specifically chosen to separate the different sections and make the text easier to read for the user. We also noted that this site needed to be very image intensive as the products lend themselves well to the camera given their unique aesthetics. The end product is a beautifully designed website which uses a wide range of features including an online shop, a workshop booking system, a live Instagram feed and video placements. Because of this, Denise is extremely pleased with it and so this is just the first of many projects that we will work on in the future.
I am very pleased with Alex’s work building me a website from start to finish. I found Alex to be very personable and was very supportive and patient in guiding me through all my technical challenges. Alex worked well collaboratively and kept me in the loop at every stage.
Alex was very responsive and professional in attitude throughout the process. He has a mature approach and challenges were met head-on. No task or roadblock seemed to have phased him, and he remained committed to the work in hand. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to get a professional website up and running.
Thank you Alex! I can’t wait to use my beautiful website now 🙂
