Magento Store Build 2
Squash Design Redesign
Squash Design is a clothing company – focusing on squash players. Selling clothing is a very tactile and emotional decision, so selling clothing online is a big challenge. We must design a site that address this challenge.
Things to consider in the design:
1. The design elements should speak towards the liveliness of the line and brand. We do not want stale – static design. Please do not use out of the box templates.
2. We will have s small line – but the line will be constantly (every
3 months) changing with new products
3. We have several world class players – they must be showcased throughout the site. We have a photographer who will be providing high quality images of our players in events
4. We also like to show normal average people (our squash community) members in the apparel – playing
5. We support events through the year – this must be captured and updated easily.
6. Tons of photos, video – this needs to be easy to update
7. For your reference- current site is squashdesign.com
We are asking for your design/creativity.
