eCommerce Website Redesign for Montana Artist
Montana Artist Website Redesign
Carol Hagan is a Montana artist whose 15-year-old website was in need of a refresh. Her existing website was straight from 1995 and was not a stylish or effective showcase for her work. Additionally, the previous website did not include an eCommerce component, so Carol found herself spending her free time fielding phone calls and taking orders instead of painting.
A Fresh Palette
Our Approach
Big Storm worked closely with Carol to design and develop a clean, minimalist website that put her artwork and its vivid colors at the forefront, without overwhelming website users. We used BigCommerce to create an eCommerce-ready website, to make it easy for her customers to order prints and greeting cards effortlessly, and to allow Carol to spend more time painting instead of fulfilling orders.
A Working Canvas
How We Helped
Our marketing team provided website training for Carol and her staff in editing and maintaining the website, creating content, blogging, and social media marketing. This allowed her to maximize her reach online and grow her business. We also took care of the search engine optimization, SSL certificate setup, website launch, artwork and content entry, and blog setup, among other details. We loved working with Carol, and continue to design, develop, and strategize for consumer-facing eCommerce websites like hers.
