Building the right e-commerce site with Shopify was vital to the Blushing Cook brand. It not only needed to showcase the beautiful floral bakes but also make their processes as efficient as possible, saving time with ordering and fulfilment. This was something Maxim Consulting focused on, building a theme that put the visual at the heart of the website and promoting easy navigation with a succinct delivery approach.
