Case Study: Happy Photos

Happy Photos came to us needing a new website design to further their brand image. We created a new website, a Flash homepage emphasizing their core branding element, and a custom shopping cart to allow their customers to select and order prints online.

Requirements

Happy Photos wanted a unique design that said they were different from other photographers. They also needed a simple shopping cart to integrate into their existing client area that would allow their customers to view and order prints of their wedding photos online via email.

The Results

We created an animated splash page utilizing Adobe Flash and emphasizing the core part of the logo the company wanted to emphasize, the three colored butterflies. The goal was to draw attention to the butterflies in a subtle and classy way and present it as uniquely as possible. We came up with the photography darkroom backdrop with photographs representing each gallery section hanging on clothesline as if just developed. When visitors hover over the photos, they smoothly saturate with color.

The shopping cart we developed needed to be really simple, allowing customers to quickly browse and add photos to their shopping cart and then checkout by sending the shopping cart contents to Happy Photos. It also had to integrate with the existing client area. The solution we developed integrated seamlessly with the existing client area and allows for easy and fast addition of photos to the shopping cart and emailing of the order to Happy Photos.
