Design Phase

Once the design was approved, our development team began implementing the required features. We prioritized building a robust backend system that could handle complex product customization options and integrate with secure payment gateways.
Merchandise Design
To accompany the launch of his new website, Joe came up with the idea of launching a line of shirts that could be sold online as well as in his physical store locations. Seeking our assistance, we collaborated with Joe to design three unique shirt designs that perfectly represented his brand. This strategic move allowed Joe to generate excitement and attract attention from both his existing loyal customers and potential new customers visiting the website. By launching the shirts simultaneously with the website, Joe was able to leverage the momentum and create a cohesive brand experience. Whether customers preferred to shop online or visit Joe's physical locations, they now had the opportunity to proudly wear his branded shirts, effectively becoming walking advertisements for his brand and further strengthening his brand presence.
Pasta Sauce Jar Label Design
In addition to launching a line of shirts, Joe wanted to update his product labels to match the new style of his website. He sought our assistance to create a label design that would stand out on store shelves and perfectly encapsulate his brand personality. We worked tirelessly with Joe to understand his vision and develop design concepts that met his needs and preferences. Through a collaborative process of refining and iterating design elements, we created a label design that was bold, eye-catching, and easily recognizable. With its unique design elements and distinctive branding, the label effectively represented Joe's brand identity and helped his products stand out on store shelves. By having a consistent and cohesive brand design across all channels, Joe was able to establish a strong brand image that resonated with his customers, both in-store and online.

Our collaboration with Joe resulted in the successful creation of an online shopping experience that aligned with his vision. The website offers a user-friendly interface, enabling customers to easily browse and customize their pasta selections. Secure payment gateways ensure a safe and seamless transaction process. The website has been optimized for different devices, allowing customers to shop conveniently from their preferred devices.
