Forking Thai Sauce
Project Overview
Forking Thai Sauce, an extension of Bozeman’s beloved Thai Basil restaurant, aimed to bring its authentic Thai sauces—pad thai, sweet and sour, stir fry, and cashew—to home kitchens across the United States. With a vision to make their high-quality, restaurant-grade sauces accessible online, Forking Thai Sauce needed a robust eCommerce platform to showcase their products, streamline online sales, and reflect the vibrant, authentic Thai culinary experience. JTech Communications partnered with Forking Thai Sauce to design and develop a custom eCommerce website that would serve as the primary hub for their online store, ensuring a seamless user experience and strong brand representation.
The goal was to create a visually appealing, mobile-optimized website that not only facilitated direct-to-consumer sales but also provided an engaging platform for customers to explore recipes, learn about the brand, and purchase sauces with ease. The website needed to embody the bold, flavorful essence of Thai cuisine while maintaining functionality across all devices.
