Context

A jewellery brand's first digital showcase: a site that tells the collections through imagery, keeps text secondary and stays fluid on mobile. E-commerce was deliberately left out of scope because sales close in the shop.

Constraints

  • Product photos are large; balancing speed and image quality on mobile.
  • The brand voice is quiet; the interface must never get ahead of the image.

§ Decision log

DecisionAlternativeWhy
01A showcase, not a shopA store with cart and checkoutJewellery sales close in the shop and over messaging; the site should show the product, not force the sale. Scope and maintenance cost halved.
02Image first, text secondThe classic "about us"-heavy corporate structureThe product photo is the persuasion; the page structure was built around collection imagery.

§ Retrospective

What I would do differently today

Today I would start with Next.js instead of Create React App: image optimisation and meta tags took extra work.
