Aranya
Objective
Aranya’s objective, to establish a dynamic online e-commerce presence, was more than just about selling designer craft products. It was about creating a digital platform that resonated with the ethos of eco-friendliness, ethical trade, and empowerment of local artisans and economically disadvantaged women.
The vision was to build a bridge connecting the rich traditional craftsmanship with the needs of modern consumers, and Ether Tech was brought on board to transform this vision into a tangible reality. Our role was to not just develop a website but to craft a digital ecosystem that mirrors Aranya’s commitment to sustainability and societal impact.
Goals
The initial phase of this project was marked by deep collaborative efforts between Ether Tech’s developers and Aranya’s leadership. These discussions were instrumental in defining the trajectory of the website development. Our goal was to mirror Aranya’s ethos in every digital aspect, whether it was the user interface, the customer journey, or the backend operations. We successfully developed the Shop page, a cornerstone of Aranya’s platform, to ensure a seamless and engaging shopping experience. This was complemented by the Story page, a digital narrative space highlighting the stories of artisans and the importance of sustainable practices. Ether Tech’s commitment was not just to build a website but to create a digital narrative that aligns with Aranya’s mission and values, thereby broadening its impact on a global scale.
