The Client
__________________________________Catholic Ventures is an entrepreneurship startup focused on uniting the digital continent and real world through ideation, design and technology.
We helped them launch their exciting new project: Catholic.store, an e-commerce platform that connects users with Catholic authors, artisans and small businesses.
We needed to create a website that integrated form and function; it had to be stunning enough to stand out from the crowd, while also being visually simple and easy to navigate.
Target Audience and Project goals
Ambitious but straightforward
__________________________________
With the website we’d create, the goals revolved around the users most in need of the service. Most likely, they’d be someone who has already purchased Catholic products online, but has been frustrated with services like Etsy in the past. They desire a ‘one stop shop’ for all things Catholic, and don’t want to keep paying separate shipping fees on each individual artisan’s Etsy store.
Goal #1: Create a contemporary, eye-catching brand
Goal #2: Develop a system for the client to easily implement the brand in the future
Goal #3: Create a easy to navigate, simple to use e-commerce platform that’s modular and easy to expand on.
