Our chosen design
For this assignment, we thought the design of The Ghostly Store would suit our webshop the best.
Although it is not about car parts, the design fits the best.
First of all, the bright colours express calmth and professionalism. Also, the products being sold have a rather dark colour so it really stands out, and that's the purpose of a webshop. People's attention should really be dragged towards the products.
This is what we have incorporated in our webshop to. The bright colours make the dark products really stand out.
Also, we have put our navigation system on top of the website, just like The Ghostly Store has done. Our group really feels like this is the most efficient way to work and it's more attractive than putting the navigation system on the left side of the website. It just makes it more easy and neat.
So, to conclude: we've chosen this design because our customers are more interested in the products than the atmosphere that's created on the website. For example, when you go on a webshop of a clothing store, the emotional connotation of that webpage will also be a factor to buy something on the webshop or not. We think that this is also the case for our webshop, but less. So we thought it was more important to keep the design simple and calm and just make sure that the products that are being sold really stand out and look professional.
We have not used a design of Shopify to build our webshop, but we have chosen the design that Weebly offers, which looks the most like the template of The Ghostly Store.
