About the client

The client was established in 2003 and recently moved offices to Leek and thus closer to our team. Their team aims to revive the textile industry in Leek. They are very enthusiastic about their work and wanted us to create a website that would reflect this enthusiasm. They came to us after a new member of staff joined their team who we had worked with at a previous employment.

The Challenge

The website that the client wanted to create needed to not only capture their passion but also that displayed the textiles they produce in a visually appealing manor. However, the real challenge of this site was to integrate a third-party Pattern Design service that would allow users to create their own customised patterns and colour scheme before purchasing the product. The Pattern Design system needed to allow the users to change the colours and scale of printed patterns on fabric as well as integrate that into an e-commerce environment.

The Solution

The solution to these challenges were naturally a WordPress Woocommerce e-commerce platform. We integrated a custom API integration that would allow the third-party system to run smoothly. As well as the API system, we also added a variety of pages to the site including a browse products page that allows customer to see the visual appeal of the client’s products.
