Elizabeth Forbes-Stobbe, the founder of She Makes Candles, created the business during lockdown from her kitchen after rediscovering the joy of making things to relieve the stress, anxiety and the isolation she experienced during this time.
In order to launch her business, she needed an ecommerce website to showcase the range of handcrafted, luxury candles created from her kitchen. The website would need to be user-friendly across all devices so that users can easily purchase the candles from the website on any device that they choose. The build would also need to have a secure payment system so that customers can easily and securely make orders through the website without having to visit an external platform.
We had the following goals for the project:
User experience is so important when it comes to eCommerce websites and so this was one of our main goals.
Security is vital with payments online in order to protect customers’ information.
In order to match the high quality products, a luxury design was needed.
We integrated express payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay to further improve user experience.
The ecommerce website is professionally designed with gold and white colouring throughout, targeting the high-end market to match the high quality standard of the products. We ensured that the website is responsive across all devices and screen widths to provide users with a great experience browsing the product catalogue and allowing them to purchase with ease.
The website is fully functional with a shop, cart and checkout while still retaining the traditional pages of a website such as a blog and an about page. We also integrated the client’s preferred email marketing platform, Mailchimp, to entice customers to sign up to the client’s newsletter in exchange for 10% off an order.
The payment system has express checkout options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay as well as the traditional payment options, all fully functional and secure. These orders can then be managed by She Makes Candles in the back-end of the website in an intuitive dashboard with a range of analytical and management tools to help the business manage their online shop.
For someone so young, Louis truly is an example to other business owners. He is attentive, friendly, able to explain technology in simple terms for someone like me. He is really patient and knows his stuff and always responds to emails or any request I have to do with websites etc. Louis goes over and beyond to help. I would happily recommend this young knowledgeable man to business owners or anyone looking to have a website done or videos made. Thank you Louis for helping me sort out my 2 websites. More to follow.
It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth throughout the website design and it was great to see the website go live to mark the launch of the business. I am looking forward to see her candles fly off of the online shelves!
