Problem & Challenges
Chantel's Bakery needed a smooth online ordering system that met the unique needs of its clientele. The existing platform was limited and did not have customization options for orders which frustrated customers. They wanted to incorporate a customized cake order form within the existing layout. The integration of third party applications was another hurdle, as compatibility issues led to performance bottlenecks, impacting overall user satisfaction. Thus, a comprehensive approach was essential to address these multifaceted issues and enhance the overall website.
Our Approach
We used Shopify's robust API capabilities to create a custom ordering interface that allowed for dynamic product customization. This included integrating a modular design system that enabled users to easily modify ingredients, sizes and presentation options in real time. We also implemented a microservices architecture to decouple various components of the site. We also deployed industry standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for payment processing and customer information. Furthermore, we established a comprehensive website maintenance plan that includes regular updates, performance monitoring and vulnerability assessments to keep the platform secure and user friendly.
