Problem

Retain the existing client. Redesign the website from Adobe XD. Update modules, plugins, and overall Prestashop of the current website without breaking the design.

Our Plan

To start with, a thorough audit of the existing site was conducted. This audit highlighted any areas that needed improving or updating, allowing us to make informed decisions when it came to planning out our redesign project. Our team was able to create an optimized experience for both user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).
First, a backup of the existing website is taken and put on staging. After staging, we divided the websites into different modules in which the development will be done and arranged them on the timeline. The main modules were the Home page, Product Listing Page, Product Detailed Page, and Bulk Buy option.
Adobe XD is an industry-leading design platform that enables users to quickly and easily create prototypes, wireframes, and even complete websites from scratch. Through this powerful tool, businesses can present their ideas in an engaging visual way that resonates with customers. In this particular case study, Adobe XD was utilized as a means for the company to maintain its relationship with current clients while also introducing new elements into the web design process.
Retaining the existing client is an important objective for any business. This particular project was approached with great care, as it was important to ensure that the existing client's needs were met. The result needs to be a modernized website design that meets all of the client's requirements while providing an improved user experience thanks to its intuitive navigation system and stylish visuals.

Execution

1The project began by analyzing their existing Prestashop modules and making sure that all necessary upgrades were taken care of. This included updating plugins, themes, and extensions so that they were compatible with the newer version of Prestashop being used. the use of Prestashop modules to improve the efficiency and performance of an e-commerce store.

2Several issues were identified that required adjustment or replacement with new, more up-to-date versions. Once these updates were completed, the team was able to focus on changing the front-end theme itself.

3The next thing to do was HTML design all website pages and integrate them with Prestashop. In the backend, editable modules were created for the Home page, Product Listing Page, and Product Detailed Page. A new module – Mega menu was created and the Bulk Buy option – module was customized as per new requirements. Redesign the Brand/Manufactures page and the whole checkout process.

Final Testing

All content, including images and videos, was also carefully evaluated for compatibility with the new design. Once the preliminary analysis stage was completed, the project manager then developed a comprehensive test plan to ensure all aspects of the site functioned as expected after changing themes. This included rigorous testing on multiple devices, along with user acceptance tests conducted with actual users of the website.

Before making the website live on the main domain, the whole website was tested on our main server. After that, we moved the website to the live server within 2 hours. When moving the website to a live server, we only migrate some of the selected data tables and required files. While making the website live, we had to deal with a few errors for the cache and PHP version, which were troubleshot and solved.

Finally, detailed testing was conducted across multiple browsers ensuring that visitors had an optimal experience regardless of their device or browser of choice.

Ongoing Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance and improvement of any e-commerce website are essential. While Prestashop provides great features, there may come a time when more robust solutions are needed to meet customer demands.
