Urban Jungle

One of my first and favourite projects at Fortnight was Urban Jungle, the UK's number 1 exotic pet shop based in Manchester.

I had the pleasure to create the experience and UI design for the website, as well as research the technical side of how it would work.

The project itself had a steep learning curve for me personally and this is because I had only recently at the time, started learning React using Gatsby. Thinking about it, it's probably my first ever "web development" project using a modern stack and with only a couple days of research I headed in a direction unknown to me, but I had successfully managed to fully develop a "static ecommerce website" using Gatsby, with DatoCMS and Shopify as a headless data source and payment processor.

Hopefully the website will be launched in the near future, but for now, here's a teaser and I'll be posting some more shortly.
