ZIMA Records
Online music store as an example of a low-budget project.
01_THE BRIEF
Many years ago we made a store for the client based on PrestaShop. Over the years the store became old and hard to maintain. The client wanted to refresh the graphic design, eliminate some errors that kept occurring due to the obsolete software, and therefore making the user experience even worse. What’s more, the purchase could only be done after log in, which could prevent customers from buying.
02_WHAT WE'RE PROUD OF
The new project, based on WooCommerce, added more value to the service, it loads faster, looks much better, and enables shopping without having to log in. The site runs smoothly.
03_THE DETAILS
This is a nice example of a low-budget project that proves WordPress to be a versatile platform for any use. We offered the client a ready-made template to minimize the development costs. Products and user accounts from PrestaShop were migrated with a WordPress plug-in. Additionally, the site gained a new functionality that is a playlist, which enables the customers to listen to some bits of music.
