Project Overview
Gastrohus is a catering business known for offering high-quality, innovative edible products. The client sought to expand its operations by launching an online shop where customers could browse and purchase their unique offerings. However, Gastrohus faced significant challenges in building an aesthetically distinct and functional e-commerce platform that would set them apart from competitors. The project required a tailored design that deviated from the standard Shopware 6 layout while ensuring a user-friendly shopping experience.
Additionally, Gastrohus needed custom features to showcase their product range effectively, highlighting their innovation and quality to attract and retain customers. The platform had to reflect the brand’s identity while supporting scalability as the business grew.
Key Challenges
Unique and Complex Design Requirements: Gastrohus’s vision for its online store was ambitious. The design had to be visually appealing and distinct from typical Shopware 6 layouts. Implementing a complex, unique design posed challenges in maintaining both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring the site was engaging without compromising usability.
Customized Features for Innovative Products: The nature of Gastrohus’s edible products required a customized approach to how products were displayed and marketed. Standard Shopware features weren’t sufficient to meet the specific needs of this client. The challenge lay in developing and integrating custom plugins that could support the business’s requirements and make the website stand out.
User Experience and Retention: Creating an online store that would engage customers and encourage repeat visits was critical. With a focus on innovative products, Gastrohus needed a platform that could deliver a seamless and enjoyable user experience, improving customer interaction with the site while driving conversions.
Scalability for Future Growth: The platform had to be designed with future growth in mind, capable of handling increased traffic, expanding product lines, and incorporating additional features as the business scaled. This required building a flexible system that could adapt as the business evolved.
Our Approach
Custom Design and Theme Development: We developed a completely customized design and theme for Gastrohus, deviating from the standard Shopware 6 template to create an eye-catching, unique look for their website. The design emphasized the brand's innovative image, with a focus on high-quality visuals.
Shopware Plugin Development: To support Gastrohus’s specific requirements, we developed custom plugins tailored to their product offerings. These included features for product customization, product bundles, and special promotions that highlighted the uniqueness of the brand's edible products.
Enhanced User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX): We focused on creating a user-centric interface that ensured easy navigation and interaction with the site. By simplifying the customer journey, from browsing to checkout, we improved user engagement and reduced bounce rates.
Training and Documentation: To ensure that Gastrohus could fully leverage the new system, we provided extensive training and documentation for their internal team. This included tutorials on managing the backend, updating products, and utilizing the custom features developed for their specific needs.
