    White Sun Crafts

    Project Summary

    I originally designed a complete, data-driven e-commerce website for White Sun Crafts back in 2016 for the client to sell her handmade jewelry. In addition to building the data structure and programming all the functionality, I designed all the content for the site, including the logo, banners, and product photos. I also integrated the site with PayPal to securely process online credit card transactions. For years, it was maintained and continuously improved based on feedback and requirements from the client, which were logged through my custom-built “Anigrams Support” app.

    The Problem

    The website had some problems: it wasn’t mobile responsive, it was hard to add new products to sell, and the PayPal integration broke at some point. In 2023, I reached out to the client to redesign and rebuild her website from the ground up.

    The old website was built with ASP.NET Web Forms
    The new website is responsive, built with Vue.js & Ruby on Rails API

    The Solution

    The new website features a new logo with a modern look and feel and aims to solve the problems mentioned above. It’s paired with a new Square Online storefront that makes it easy for the client to manage her store’s inventory and process customer payments through a trusted company specializing in e-commerce. Thanks to the new website, she’s back in business!
