Business Swap Shop

 

Business Swap Shop (bswapshop.com) was a collaboration between Blow Your Own Mind (BYOM) and Hot Lizards Designs; two small businesses whose customer demographic are those who will receive less support from Government to help sustain their businesses through the COVID-19 crisis.

The concept is a trading website that provides business services or products to sole-traders and those small businesses without employees, to preserve cash. The website www.bswapshop.com supports a system of exchange specifically for micro-business owners whose cash flow has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis; where businesses directly exchange goods and services without using the medium of money, as in the early days of commerce.

The initial site build was completed by Hot Lizard Designs within a few days after the logo was supplied. The nod to the 80s theme was a reference to the popular TV show ‘Swap Shop’. Custom gradient buttons and headers were created to match the logo and give the site a consistent look, and the dark blue and crisp white sections give a blend of 80s and modern design elements.

The site infrastructure has been set up to allow the site to grow as more businesses join, and an internal comment section for others to leave reviews of their experiences to encourage more trades.

Design features include:

  • embedded video

  • directory system

  • customised filter for directory system

  • custom gradient buttons and headers

  • sign up forms linked to Google Forms

  • custom icons
