With growing demand for her original works, prints, and hand-painted wine bottles, Michele needed a professional e-commerce platform that could reflect her artistic identity and streamline the online shopping experience.We helped bring her vision to life by building a custom online store, migrating over from Etsy, and shaping a cohesive digital presence that matched the elegance of her work.
While Etsy served as a good starting point, Michele was ready to establish a standalone platform that felt uniquely hers—free of third-party branding and limitations. The challenge was to create a seamless transition without losing existing product data, while also delivering a design that felt handcrafted, welcoming, and reflective of her artistic style. We started with a brand-first strategy—drawing inspiration from Michele’s color palette, coastal themes, and the warmth of her storytelling. From there, we developed a custom WordPress + WooCommerce website that blended an intuitive user experience with artistic elegance.
Every product was carefully migrated from Etsy, including images, descriptions, and categories. We optimized the shop’s structure for browsing, added custom filtering, and ensured mobile-friendly navigation for shoppers on the go. Behind the scenes, we set up inventory tracking, shipping zones, and built-in analytics to help her manage growth. Michele now has a fully branded online storefront that feels as handcrafted as her art. The new website not only offers a smoother checkout experience, but it also gives her control over branding, storytelling, and customer engagement. With products no longer tied to Etsy’s ecosystem, Foxtail Art Studio has the freedom to grow its audience, build an email list, and showcase new work on her own terms.
