Shinybox is a budget-friendly line of high quality audio products, founded by engineer John Ulrigg. The product line centers around the 46MX series of ribbon microphones, intended for use in music recording studios. Seeking to re-launch the brand, and provide a better customer experience for new and existing Shinybox owners, John Ulrigg approached us to provide a custom design and development solution for his WordPress powered e-commerce site.
Before we started work on the site it was important for us to ensure the products could be displayed in the best light possible. To achieve this, we utilized our photo and film studio in the SODO district of Seattle. We shot each product in a range of situations and lighting to give us the most flexibility when it came to designing the website. The client’s ask was for shots that allowed the product to stand on their own and allow the quality of the craftsmanship shine through.
As with most sites I work on these days, mobile interactions must be accounted for and engaging to the user. The main point for the client was that the e-commerce element of the site didn’t suffer in the transition to mobile. Overall the mobile site flows well and doesn’t come off like a watering down of the desktop site.
