Studio shop without the tech work

An artist runs her studio on her own; her website was built privately years ago and had not been main­tained since.

Brief:
no new website; fix the existing one and hand over its operation for good.

Cleaned up without touching the visual style

The look stayed almost unchanged.Underneath, we caught up on everything that had been left undone.

  • The shop calculates shipping and insur­ance itself
