This involved implementing a mobile-first approach, optimizing images and content for quick loading, and simplifying navigation for touchscreens. The goal was to deliver a seamless and enjoyable browsing experience, allowing fans to effortlessly explore the illustrator's work and make purchases, regardless of the device they were using.

Pricing strategies were carefully considered, balancing profitability with market competitiveness. This included evaluating competitor pricing, considering the perceived value of the artwork, and offering promotional discounts or bundles to incentivize purchases. The aim was to create a seamless and profitable online store that effectively reached and engaged the target audience.
