Amber Home of Colour

Amber Home of Colour was established in the summer of 2017 as a business sourcing and selling colourful and vibrant homewares from individuals internationally, allowing people in the UK to purchase bedspreads, scarves, jewellery and more from sellers in India, New Zealand, and many more. The store opened in late September 2017 in Seaton, Devon and has been satisfying customers with a wide range of products since.

At this time the company approached me to look at the possiblity of expanding their sales online, allowing individuals outside of the local area to browse and buy products through an ecommerce solution. We came to the conclusion that for many of the less fragile items it would be greatly beneficial to the company and to it's customers and started working on a website and associated online shop.

Wordpress was chosen as the Content Management System used due to its flexibility, ease of use for non-IT professionals and compatibility with Woocommerce, the ideal ecommerce solution for the proposed online shop.

The site launched in February 2018 with a full range of products and features, and has been successful in increasing the public profile of Amber Home of Colour, both locally and nationally, and positively impacting sales figures.
