R & R Design

I was contacted by "The R & R Design" to update their website and present an interim solution to enable them to grow their small family business.

The page was purple and pink and font-weight was so high nothing could be read. Unfortunatley their stock imagery was very limited and of poor size, so despite the stretching I decided to go for bigger pictures as most of their target audience were 30-60 and would have found the site nearly impossible to navigate.

Other edits include content edits, contact form editing, including developing a google maps contact form theme modification that works on any shopify and supports management through theme customizer.

This site is not yet responsive, but works included integration with open-search XML and micro-formats so the design is functional as well as presentational.

The latest works have been the SVG text in the header and wooden backgrounds to buttons and sale banners because the owner wanted to go all out with the natural wood texture of the website. This is also managable from the backend of the shopify Admin.

As well as above listed works an image switcher without popup modal, windows live tile & site icon / favicon and management of various mobile device icons have been created. Despite not being responsive, the page remains quite usable on tablet devices and all desktop devices.

Background texture is original, map marker is bespoke as are most elements. All works undertaken took care to allow easy non-technical changes using shopify backend and preservation + addition of options using Shopify settings JSON format.

Since changes have been put in place, traffic from Facebook page has experienced a 0% bounce-rate, down from an 85% bounce rate. Future works are planned
