Magento optimization for a technology & electronics shop
Extensive, customized Magento open-source optimization for a broadly stocked tech shop (photo, video, audio, drones, gimbals, solar, robots, and much more). Storetown-Media specifically improved product views, search, shopping cart, taxes, marketing, and infrastructure—for a better shopping experience, simpler administration, and a higher conversion rate. Anonymized at the client's request.
Project Overview
The online shop offers a wide range of products in the categories of solar power, robotics, camcorders, lenses, tripods, grips, batteries, drones, gimbals, monitors, video, lighting, and audio from many brands—plus sections for new arrivals, leasing, benefits for business customers, and special offers. The task involved a broad spectrum of technical adjustments, extensions, and optimizations on Magento Open Source : improving the shopping experience, simplifying administration, and increasing the conversion rate. The client wishes to remain anonymous.
Summary: Comprehensive Magento open-source optimization of a broadly stocked tech shop (photo, video, audio, drones, gimbals, solar power, and much more) — including price alerts and wishlists on the product page, extended shopping cart persistence, Algolia search, a mega menu without JavaScript, backend order comments, EU VAT adjustment (July 1, 2021), cron job reindexing, 9.000 coupon codes, an Amasty cookie extension, and a migration to Maxcluster hosting across multiple domains.
