Ready to improve…
The website was up and running. The first online orders had been received. Any errors or improvements were handled. Changes at the customers closed the online store and they are now handling sales differently.
Amnesty Halland also had a website, which I upgraded to similar look and feel. As it's hosted on a different host with an online page builder the look could not be done exactly the same as the bookstore, but I tried to mimic colours and general style from the book store, and Amnesty Sweden.
