Arcos

Arcos is an independent artist website and online shop built around original one-of-one physical artworks.

The goal was to create a quiet, gallery-like digital experience that gives the work room to breathe while still supporting a complete buying journey. The site brings together portfolio presentation, individual artwork pages, artist/process content, journal content, inventory and checkout in one responsive product.

What I built

  • Responsive artist website and online shop
  • Bilingual content structure
  • Individual artwork and series pages
  • One-of-one artwork inventory
  • Stripe Checkout
  • Artwork-first product UX
  • Process, journal, collecting and policy content
  • Mobile and desktop experiences

Product approach

The design intentionally avoids the feel of a conventional high-volume e-commerce store. Each artwork is a unique physical object, so the interface is structured more like a contemporary artist catalogue with commerce integrated into it.

The live site also communicates the physical process behind the work — acrylic on canvas and ink on paper — alongside practical collecting information.

Technology

Built with React and TypeScript using Vite, TanStack, Tailwind CSS and Stripe.
