Example

A website for a craft shop in Antigua Guatemala

Travelers buy huipiles and cortes at the Chichicastenango market, in Antigua and in the towns around Lake Atitlán, and many ask later whether the shop ships. Each huipil comes from a town and a weaver, so the site puts that next to the photo and the price in quetzales, on the same page as the jade and the masks.
