Web stores
Ellen wanted to create an online store to sell her paintings.
About the project
Ellen will soon retire and wants to spend more time painting. The pictures of her paintings that she has published on Instagram have received a good response. Several people have expressed an interest in buying the pictures. Therefore, she wanted to set up an online shop where she could present her portifolio and sell pictures to the whole world.
The challenge
As painting is currently a hobby and Ellen does not sell pictures on a large scale, it was important to find an online store solution that was not expensive to operate. Since the website is aimed at both Norwegian and foreign buyers, there was a desire for the website to be available in both Norwegian and English.
Our solution
The advantage of setting up an online store in WordPress and WooCommerce is that there are no fixed costs associated with this. PayPal was chosen as the payment solution because it is an internationally recognized solution that also offers the option of paying by bank or credit card. A language selector in the menu allows you to change the language to English.
