Divine Cards

The Challenge

Divine cards is a business owned by a small entrepreneur that creates handmade greeting cards. She was tired of the existing platforms because of the hidden fees and extra charges asked to small businesses.She, therefore, decided to create her own platform to publish and sell her creations by contacting Obsite.

The Design

A FRESH & FUN PALETTE
The website has a very fresh colour palette: white, coral, sky blue and tones of rice paper for the background.
White is the perfect background - it is often associated with purity, cleanliness, freshness, and simplicity. We paired the clean white with a rice paper colour, which gives some softness and a paper-like feeling to the design.

We decided to pick a coral-red for the call to action buttons and iconography. We chose this colour for its versatility and freshness. It resembles the colour of the postage stamps and recalls the shape of the logo and the menu (shaped like a letter).

We paired the coral pink with its complementary colour: sky blue. This creates a sharp contrast and adds a calming yet elegant touch to the design. We aimed to create an energetic, playful and fun atmosphere throughout the design by using this palette.

AN HAND-WRITTEN TYPOGRAPHY
We decided to pick two different fonts, one with a hand-written feeling and one more mechanical. We wanted to create a very sharp contrast between the two typographies.
The hand-written font, Intro Script, was used to convey the sense of friendliness and has a handmade quality to it. While the other font, Roboto, conveys professionalism and friendliness.

The Tech

Wordpress
For this project we used Wordpress for affordability, flexibility and speed. WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes.
Elementor
Wordpress is Versatile, but it can be even more versatile with a page builder such as Elementor. Together with Elementor and custom design we can make high-quality affordable and custom websites.
nginx
Wordpress natively supports Apache, but to really bring out the maximum performance on our wordpress servers, we proxy and cache the high-demand processes through our Nginx web server.

The Results

Obsite helped Divine cards by creating a completely responsive website. The website has a small introduction to the owner, her core values, what she does, and a blog to promote her content.Now she can create and sell her cards without any hidden fees, increasing her profit margin per card by over 50%.
