Online Ordering for Gallery Aberdyfi
After many successful years as a ‘bricks and mortar art gallery’, Gallery Aberdyfi entered the online world back in 2016 when Pixelwave Web Design first built a website for them. Since then the website has been quite an asset for the business and always gets positive comments from their customers from both near and far.
Glyn and Claire always comment on how pleased they are with the website whenever I’m in contact with them and the Content Management side of it has allowed them to easily keep it up to date with their latest works of art. In fact, the website has been such a success that they have recently asked me to add a system for easy online ordering to the site.
They didn’t necessarily need a full blown shopping cart system and wanted to keep the site looking as it as has, namely as an online gallery rather than an eCommerce site. I wanted to keep things easy to use for them as well so came up with a solution that allows them to add PayPal shopping cart buttons to the site.
Not only can they adjust the prices and availability of individual items whenever they wish, they can easily toggle the whole system on or off as well. This was a feature request as there may be times in the future when they may not be around to fulfil orders and would therefore prefer to ‘shut up shop’ for a time.
All is live with the new system now, it couldn’t be easier to use and they can switch it on and take orders from anywhere in the world whenever they want.
