As new imagery is available, database is updated upon launch of the app as shown on the first screen.

Ecommerce site created for a lovely gift shop north of Auckland. The goal was to give the user the experience of walking into the actual store… so I created a panorama image of the shop interior so the user could have a look around and get a better feel of the special attention given to the design of the shop. The shop owner currently maintains and uploads the new catalog imagery, text, etc. through the CMS herself.
