Background
While being a member of the Advertisement Club at UW-Madison, I had the chance to network with many local businesses. One of these connections was La Cosecha Tortilleria Compan. The business owner reached out to me for assistance with their website. This opportunity marked my first venture into freelance work, and I accepted it with gratitude, thrilled that they were willing to take a chance on someone early in their career.
La Cosecha Tortilleria Company specializes in crafting homemade tortillas and other corn snacks. They manage the entire process, from sourcing corn from selected farms to producing the final edible products. Collaborating with the business owner was a pleasure, especially when I got to sample their delicious products!
What I Did
Before diving into the design work, I conducted several meetings to understand their business, branding, and website requirements. Armed with this knowledge, I proposed design ideas and discussed various hosting solutions to get their business online. We decided on Shopify, and I began developing the site. Additionally, I visited their facility to photograph their products and operations, ensuring the images were edited to best represent their offerings. This project is ongoing, with the website evolving as their business grows.
What I Learned
This experience taught me how to implement and design a Shopify website and underscored the importance of maintaining excellent communication with business owners. Building a great relationship with my clients was key to delivering a website that truly met their needs.
