The online home for a knitting and crochet festival in Namur, Belgium. Visitors can browse yarn and supplies, purchase festival tickets, explore photo galleries from past events, and connect with the crafting community. The site combines e-commerce with event promotion and community building.
We handled the complete e-commerce setup — product data migration, Belgian VAT configuration, shipping zones, payment gateway integration through Mollie, automated invoicing, and stock management. The site runs on our optimized infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN, R2 object storage for media, and Redis caching for fast page loads.
Beyond the build, we provide ongoing maintenance — security updates, performance monitoring, daily backups, and AI-powered content to drive organic traffic and keep the site fresh.
