MENDO’s webshop nominated for Site Of The Year
Winners announced in February in Berlin
After receiving a handful of awards in April 2017, MENDO's webshop is now in the running to become Site Of The Year at Awwwards.
Remember, we launched our new webshop back in April 2017? Then you may also remember it won quite a few awards, including the prestigious Site Of The Month at Awwwards. Now we’re in the race for the holy grail: Site of The Year and eCommerce Site of the Year. The winners will be announced at the Awwward Conference in February in Berlin.
About our webshop
For the redesign of MENDO.nl we worked together with Build In Amsterdam, because we believed they could convert our physical store’s experience and our company’s philosophy into a matching online experience. And Build delivered. The webshop enables us to present books the way we believe they should be presented. Read more about the collaboration in our journal A chat with the builders.
