Rapid retailer support

Bondholder Alt Design has helped an iconic retailer in Derby's historic Cathedral Quarter go online in just under two weeks.

Having been delighting and inspiring customers for almost three decades, independent clothing and lifestyle retailer, Canopy, had to respond quickly and decisively in the face of the closure of the high street.

Contacted by owner and Director of Canopy, James Hurdis, Alt Design designed, constructed, and populated a fully functional e-commerce website in just 10 working days.

Will Hives, Managing and Creative Director at Alt Design, said: “When I got the call from James, I knew this would be a challenge like few others, but equally, I knew how important it was to our client to be able to adapt to the transformed marketplace and continue to provide their customers with the seamless service they had come to expect.”

Collaborating with his team remotely, Will coordinated the design, front-end build and e-Commerce functionality of the project over many calls and Zoom meetings, checking with the client at every stage. Just under 2 weeks later, the site canopyonline.co.uk was launched.

James Hurdis added: “The speed with which Will’s team delivered a product of such user-friendly quality still amazes both us and our customers, who have already been flooding our site with orders. With Alt Design on our side, we know we can continue to adapt to the ever-changing retail environment.”
