Being an artist, it was clear the new web site needed to focus on the fantastic imagery Hilary had of her work whilst providing clear pathways to learn about her art and allow students to book her classes.
The site had a simple Information Architecture (sitemap) and a great library of media so we decided SquareSpace would be the perfect solution to creating Hilary's new web site.
SquareSpace provides a very cost effective way of building small web sites that don't require too much customisation and non-standard functionality. By choosing a template and theme and then customising it for the content we managed to find a very effective solution.
The ecommerce functionality built in to SquareSpace allowed us to easily setup products for the classes and add options for days they are running. For simple payments we integrate with the PayPal payment gateway which is a popular and trusted method of online payments in the UK.
