E-Commerce Platform Redesign
Complete redesign and rebuild of a major e-commerce platform serving 100K+ daily users with improved performance and UX.
About This Project
A major retail client approached us to modernize their aging e-commerce platform. The goal was to improve site performance, enhance the user experience, and implement modern features like personalized recommendations and one-click checkout.
Challenge
The legacy platform had slow page load times (5-8 seconds), high cart abandonment rates (78%), and a dated mobile experience. The system couldn't handle Black Friday traffic spikes.
Solution
We rebuilt the platform from scratch using Next.js for optimal performance and SEO. Implemented edge caching, image optimization, and lazy loading. Added personalized product recommendations using collaborative filtering.
