E-commerce Website for a Handmade Boutique
A colourful and playful website designed and built in WordPress using Elementor, created to reflect a fun brand identity while making it easy for customers to browse and shop.
Challenge
I designed and built the website for The Make Shoppe, a handmade skincare and lip care brand that I co-own. The brand has a fun, colourful personality with a touch of affordable luxury, and I wanted the website to reflect that.
One of the main challenges was balancing bold colours and playful visuals with a shopping experience that feels simple and easy to use. I wanted the products to stand out without making the site feel cluttered.
I organized the product categories, including lip care, soaps and skincare, to make it easy for customers to browse and find what they were looking for, especially on mobile.
The website was built in WordPress using Elementor. I worked on the layout, visuals and content to create a consistent look and feel throughout the site while keeping the shopping experience clear and straightforward.
The result was a playful, cohesive online store that reflects the brand and gives it room to grow as the product range expands.
