Phone Compatible E-Commerce Website Inspiration




My website design has to be phone compatible because thats how most people will view it. I did some research on websites I liked using my phone and I really like the look of this and how you can filter through the cards. 

I think the target audience is mainly young people who realise the cards are just banter and not intended to be offensive in any way. I imagine the vast majority of these people will be smartphone users and will be using their smartphone to access the website instead of a desktop computer. 



Website Design Inspiration


I really like the look of this website, the way the Logo is set in the middle and the menu is below it is simple and it looks easy to navigate. I also like how there is a filter on the left for types of cards, I'd like to do this on my website design but have a filter for "Birthday, Christmas, Congratulations etc.". 

I would also like to take a look at websites that are on mobile as I feel this is where most of the views would come from.

Choosing a Theme For My Website




For my web design brief I wanted to do something completely different to the other 'Portfolio Website' brief, so I decided I wanted to do an online shop (E-Commerce Website).

At the moment I am in the process of setting up a business under the name Dare Bear Cards, selling greetings cards with a bit of a tongue n cheek twist. I have attached a few photos of cards I have designed that I am hoping to sell on the website. I needed a website designing that was easy to use, easy to navigate and not too fussy. I decided this would be a good theme as it is something I'm really interested in and I am investing all my spare time in it.

I have researched some websites I quite like the look of and I will talk about them in my next blog post.
