The Client

Harbourfront Antiques is a locally owned antique store offering a curated collection of unique furniture, collectibles, and vintage treasures. With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and history, the owners wanted to build a brand and website that reflected the elegance and authenticity of their pieces — while making it easier for customers to explore their offerings online.
