The Art Group

With the previous website having no ecommerce capabilities, The Art Group had a vision to redesign and redevelop their website to allow for that. Currently providing ecommerce for B2B and B2C customers, with full checkout and purchasing capabilities. I also created a bespoke framing tool, allowing customers to frame their art prints to their own style, and then order them.
