They sell fair trade crafts, clothing and musical instruments from around the world.

Siesta wanted a clean design that would highlight their ethical buying practice. They wanted to expand their high street shop presence by selling on-line, especially their popular musical instruments.

They wanted to take payments through PayPal for low volume sales until business increased where they would explore other options.

As predominantly a wholesaler we approached eplatforms to create a vibrant and exiting website to expand into retail mail order. With a great deal of understanding to our needs they have produced an excellent product, not only in the effectiveness of the sales it has generated but also in its ease of use and management behind the scenes.

Since the success of this initial project, we have happily returned to them to expand the website for our wholesale customers to use. We now also use their hosting services and continue to be impressed by the level service. We would highly recommend this company to anybody.
