My first e-commerce site 2005

This was the era when hosting companies started saying “hey, anyone can build a website now.”

Using an early Do-It-Yourself site builder and (possibly?) WordPress on the backend, I created this small online store for skincare products. I handled product photography, image touch-ups and payment integration with PayPal which, at the time, was the obvious answer for small online businesses.

Bold AND italic, making a confident statement.

E-commence Skincare Products Website

Built with: DIY site builder, HTML/CSS, PayPal, Adobe Photoshop

My work:

I set up the hosting, registered the domain and built an early e-commerce site for this small family business. The site used a DIY website builder, PayPal for payments, and a lot of patience while figuring out how online stores worked in 2005.

I also photographed and edited all product images in Photoshop, because building the website wasn’t enough; I decided to become a product photographer too.
