Project Overview

Minisport Australia is a specialist supplier of parts, accessories, and restoration services for Classic Mini, MINI, and Moke vehicles. They partnered with So Cloudy to develop a structured ecommerce platform that clearly showcases their extensive product range while supporting enquiries from enthusiasts, restorers, and vehicle owners across Australia.

The goal of the project was to create a clear and easy-to-navigate online store where customers can browse thousands of parts, explore workshop services, and access information relevant to maintaining and restoring classic Mini vehicles. The website was designed to organise products efficiently while maintaining a practical shopping experience for both casual buyers and dedicated enthusiasts.

With a focus on usability, mobile accessibility, and scalable ecommerce performance, the final website provides a reliable digital storefront that supports parts sales, workshop enquiries, and long-term inventory growth.
