Tiivistelmä
This thesis report discusses theoretical aspects concerning online store functionality and aesthetics. This thesis work also includes the creation of an online store which is used to sell artwork prints. The aim of this work was to gain a theoretical background through research to help in the creation of the online store.
Multiple sources concerning the topics of the thesis were researched to get justification for the decisions that were made during the online store creation. Qualitative research was implemented by reading books and online articles that discussed E-commerce, web design and various other topics that relate to this work. A website building tool called Squarespace was used to create the online store.
Simply creating an online store in the current E-commerce atmosphere is not a challenging task. With the help of website building tools like Squarespace, one can create a fully operating online store without any coding skills. However, many factors can affect the success of an online store, even the color of the store pages can be a crucial element that affects the customer’s behavior.
The online store and all its pages were created on this thesis work. However, some legal and logistical aspects that are required for the online store to be functional for the customers are still unfinished. Therefore, the online store will not be published at the same time as the thesis report.
