Cork Thrift Store Website

The project brief is to create a website for the concept brand Cork, a little corner-shop that sells second-hand goods. Required pages were the landing page with a contact section, about page, shop page, and blog page. The website should invoke nostalgia while still being modern.

I designed the website in Figma, aimed to have a friendly tone and be easy to navigate, with graphics to highlight certain elements.

I chose gold as the primary color to emphasize the concept of finding treasure in a thrift store. For headings, I chose the typeface Playfair Display, which takes on a vintage look inspired by the Age of Enlightenment. For body text, I chose Poppins for being a rounded typeface, to contribute to the friendly feeling.

Using Figma, I took the wireframes and translated them into the final design.

I developed the website in the visual web development platform Webflow. To handle shop items and blog articles, Webflow's Content Management System (CMS) is best to create a unified database of content and data, which can then be easily applied to add any data in that database to any page.
