Overview:
Gou-oui is an online shop that sells delicious cookies of different varieties. They needed a website to showcase their cookies, tell their story and process orders for customers. I was approached as a website designer and developer to help create a website for Gou-oui. I worked closely with the company to understand their business, target audience, and goals. I then designed and developed an e-commerce website that effectively communicated the company's story, services, and range of cookies. The website also included a conversion strategy that aimed to encourage visitors to purchase cookies through the website.
Problem & Solution:
Gou-oui needed a website that could effectively communicate their brand and products to potential customers. They also needed a website that could process orders and payments seamlessly. To address these needs, I designed and developed an e-commerce website that was built with React and Node.js in the backend. React is a JavaScript framework that is well-suited for building user interfaces. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that is well-suited for building scalable web applications. The website features a modern and responsive design that is optimized for mobile devices. It also includes a variety of features that make it easy for customers to browse and purchase cookies, such as a search bar, a product filter, and a shopping cart.
Goals/Requirements:
- The goals of the website were to:
- Effectively communicate Gou-oui's brand and products to potential customers.
- Make it easy for customers to browse and purchase cookies.
- Increase sales of cookies.
Process:
The development process for the website involved the following steps:
- Discovery and Planning - I conducted in-depth discussions with Gou-oui to understand their business, target audience, and goals. This phase helped establish a clear direction and aligned the website with their objectives.
- Wireframing and Prototyping - I created wireframes and prototypes of the website to get feedback from Gou-oui and to ensure that the website met their requirements.
- Design - I designed the website using React and Node.js in the backend. The design was focused on creating a modern and responsive website that was optimized for mobile devices.
- Development - I developed the website using React and Node.js in the backend. The development process involved creating the user interface, the backend logic, and the database.
- Testing - I tested the website thoroughly to ensure that it was working properly and that it met the requirements of Gou-oui.
- Deployment - The website was deployed to a production server.
Results:
The website was successfully launched and is now live. The website has been well-received by Gou-oui and their customers. The website has increased sales of cookies and has helped Gou-oui to grow their business.
Takeaways:
I was happy to work with Gou-oui on this project and I am proud of the website that we created. The website is a great example of how React and Node.js can be used to build a modern and scalable e-commerce website.
