THE CHALLENGE
As an established retail supplier of boutique fashion clothing our customer identified an opportunity for expansion into online sales and marketing. They began online operations with a simplistic website which has basic e-commerce capabilities. With rapid increase in business our client quickly realised the need for a far superior website. The urgent demand for a state of the art E-commerce website which would provide all the elements they needed with room for growth was essential.

We began by highlighting the key areas which needed to be addressed, including:
