Role
The objective was to design and develop a website with e-commerce features. My responsibility was to advise the best tool (we used Squarespace) and customize it. The process was in collaboration with the editor and the graphic designer.

Results
The website and the online store were live in two weeks. And in the first month made more than 100 sales of the first number.
