As the Studio had gone from strength to strength, Emily and her sister Lucy found that the current needs of their business were no longer being met by their standard, one-size-fits-all e-commerce site.
Working with the team, we rebuilt the website from the ground up, expanding their online sales capacity to include both B2C and B2B routes, expanding their business into wholesale and trade sectors, and bringing their iconic designs to a much larger audience.
Alongside this, we took the opportunity to update and finesse the Studio’s website, ensuring that their online showcase and store compliment the contemporary style of the products.
