Art in Bloom
The brief
Art in Bloom runs art-themed events - painting sessions, art-themed parties - alongside selling art and art-adjacent products: paintings, brushes, and other art-themed goods. The brief covered two very different transaction types on one platform: event bookings and product purchases, without over-building either one.
The approach
Kept the scope deliberately minimal on both fronts rather than building a full e-commerce platform or a complex ticketing system - a lightweight shop with cart and checkout, and a straightforward booking form for events, matched to the actual size of the business rather than a generic template's assumptions. The other priority was independence: the client needed to update their own About page - copy and images - without relying on a developer for every text change. That shaped the admin side as much as the storefront did.
What got built
A minimal shop with product browsing, cart, and checkout. An events section where users browse upcoming events and book directly through a form. On the admin side, a content management route where the client can edit the About page's text and images directly from the dashboard - reusing the same image pipeline (Cloudflare) built for the earlier project.
