Koupparis Signs
I have created, maintain, audit and constantly improve a site for Koupparis Signs Ltd.
Current target is to maintain an easily accessible showroom to help the marketing and growth of the business while at the same time develop an online shop/application for signs. The main target is to offer the ability for Koupparis Signs Ltd customers to design and order their signs online using the new application I am building.
The new signs application will enable a very easy and fun way of creating signs online while at the same time the user will have the ability to change several parameters (size, shape, material, fix method etc) to compare prices and decide according to their budget.
