Client Background
Our client is a seasoned player in the art industry, passionate about promoting and preserving the legacy of a world-renowned artist. Their international e-commerce website provides art collectors, enthusiasts, and fine art lovers worldwide with affordable yet unique paintings.
Committed to promoting the artist’s work and preserving his legacy in the best possible way, the client wanted to upgrade their e-commerce website.
They aimed to enhance customer experience and boost sales at an efficient e-commerce platform. To achieve this goal, they needed to update the website design with modern elements while integrating multi-language and multi-currency support functionality.
Challenge
- Complex website requirements. Our client had a unique set of conditions not supported by Magento 2’s standard offering. They requested the ability for customers to choose a frame for their paintings, a countdown timer for a limited-time sale, and specific shipping rules.
- Urgent custom modules development. Off-the-shelf extensions couldn’t meet the above-mentioned requirements, but we needed to keep tailored features and modules intact. We realized that making it would be time-consuming and technically complex.
Solution
- Detailed roadmap. We worked hand-in-hand with our client on this ambitious project. A thorough research into the website and its data allowed us to pinpoint customizations and modules that would meet the specific needs. A detailed migration plan outlined the steps and resources needed to complete the migration successfully.
- Design adjustment. We ensured that this website’s design was a perfect visual match with the company branding and identity and operated flawlessly. We also customized Magento 2 themes, adjusting the code until everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
- Custom solutions migration. Our team migrated the e-commerce website from X-Cart to Magento 2, with all customer and product data carefully transferred. We either used reliable extensions or crafted custom modules explicitly tailored for them to make it happen exactly as the client wanted.
Scope
The project’s scope involved migrating the client’s e-commerce website from X-Cart to Magento 2 and creating a new website design aligned with their vision and goals. The development team’s responsibilities included:
- Designing a new website to incorporate the client’s requirements and goals.
- Customizing the Magento 2 theme to match the new design.
- Selecting Magento 2 extensions that would enhance the website’s functionality.
- Developing a custom module that allowed customers to choose frames for their paintings.
- Migrating all product and customer data from the old website to the new platform.
The project team comprised a designer, a frontend developer, a Magento 2 backend developer, a QA specialist, and a project manager, all of whom were responsible for ensuring that the project was completed within the stipulated time and budget constraints while maintaining quality standards.
