E-commerce website case study
ELA
The Ethical Agency helped streamline The Environmental Law Association of South Africa’s memberships by creating a website e-commerce solution. Coupled with a membership solution, the website helps to reduce administration time by allowing members to sign up online. In addition the recurring payments option means that members only need to sign-up and pay once.
Tortilla Modern Mexican
The Ethical Agency helped this upmarket take-away joint join the e-commerce club by first helping to take donations (redeemable for food in future) during Covid, as well as to create their first online store to sell their delicious food to collect from a number of their stores. In addition, customers can also order from delivery options like Mr. Delivery and Uber Eats.
