How Can a Virtual Store be Urban?
Online shopping can be quite convenient but nothing beats walking down a city street and walking into a storefront. For example, I love shopping at UMA in downtown St. Louis shown at right. Besides the great selection of products and friendly service from owner Mike Finan, the building is a knock out. Just look at that storefront.
Graphic designer Jen Halski managed to retain this feel for UMA’s new website and online store. In fact, the image to the right came from Jen. When you see UMA’s new site you’ll see how this was used and how you feel like you are shopping downtown from your computer.

I personally love the new site and how it gives that street feel. Let me know what you think!

Those Louderman Building storefronts are fantastic – I’m thinking that the retail space in the Marquette Building will look just as good when the renovation is complete.
