The visual catalogue problem
Textiles are the one B2B category where image quality is a commercial requirement rather than a design preference. A buyer evaluates weave, weight and colour from a photograph before they will ask for anything — and then the entire funnel is: see it, request a sample, place an order.
The design consequence is that the catalogue must be image-heavy without being slow, which means proper image pipelines rather than uploading whatever came off the camera.
What gets built
Range and collection catalogue with colourway variants, sample request flow, minimum-order-quantity display, export enquiry capture with country routing, and buyer accounts for repeat wholesale customers.
