Hampshire Pewter is located in picturesque Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, just a block away from Lake Winnipesaukee. When we visited their quaint town and their old-fashioned workshop it honestly felt like we stepped back in time. In Wolfeboro, they lovingly handcraft pewter lamps, tankards, tableware, Christmas ornaments, and gifts. Each year one of their Christmas ornaments adorns the national Christmas tree in Washington, DC, representing the state of New Hampshire.

The Hampshire Pewter website showcases their entire catalogue of products and makes it easy to purchase. Large images are provided so customers can experience the fantastic quality of the craftsmanship before purchasing from the site. There is also a sophisticated custom engraving system that allows people to add engraving text or monograms to many of the pewter items in the catalogue.

The design of the website is focused entirely on the visitor experience. Attention on usability, accessibility, information architecture, and contingency design. Clear, meaningful titles are provided; text is resizable for people with visual disabilities; content is organized and displayed logically; buttons are readable and tactile; and error messaging is helpful. The site has useful features like related products and a site search that can be sorted by price.

A complete secure back-end administration system allows the staff at Hampshire Pewter to manage the content on the website. Products, images, textual content, and order processing is all managed through this system. New products can be added quickly and easily with associated images and related products.
