The First Requirement Was to Upgrade the Client’s Existing Magento 1 Website to the Latest Version of Magento 2. This Was Necessary Because Magento 1 Reached Its End-of-life in 2020 and is No Longer Receiving Security Updates or Support From Magento. Upgrading to Magento 2 Ensures That the Website Remains Secure and Compatible With the Latest Technologies. Our Team Started by Creating a Staging Environment to Perform the Upgrade. We Installed a Fresh Copy of Magento 2 and Migrated the Data From the Magento 1 Website to the New Magento 2 Environment. We Then Updated All the Extensions and Themes to Their Latest Versions, Ensuring Compatibility With Magento 2.

The Second Key Element of the Website Design Project Was to Improve Loading Speed by Integrating Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). This Was Essential Because With More and More Users Accessing Websites on Their Mobile Devices, Slow Loading Can Negatively Impact the User Experience and Conversion Rate. Our Team Thus Installed the Magento 2 AMP Extension and Customized It to Fit the Website Design. In Addition, We Executed Various Speed Optimization Tactics Such as Image Compression, Caching, and Lazy Loading to Boost the Website’s Overall Performance and Reduce Bounce Rate.

To Remain Faithful to the Client’s Original Aesthetic While Also Taking Advantage of Magento 2, Our Team Developed a Custom Theme That Satisfied All Three of Their Requirements. We Designed the Theme for Optimal Speed and Responsiveness, Ensuring a Smooth Experience on Both Desktop and Mobile. Furthermore, We Made It Inherently Customizable So the Client Could Make Edits as Necessary. Ultimately, the Custom Theme Faithfully Retained the Look and Feel of the Original Design With Enhanced Features According to the Technical Specifications.

We Successfully Addressed the Fourth Client Requirement Concerning Reviews and Ratings, by Incorporating Kiyoho Ratings Extension on the Website. This External Review Platform Offers Customers the Ability to Provide Feedback and Enhances Online Credibility, as Well as Boosting SEO Visibility. Our Team Swiftly Handled Implementation Including Customizing It to Fit the Web Design, Plus Configuring It to Showcase Customer Reviews on-site and in Search Engine Outcomes.

Our Team Was Tasked With Integrating the Amasty One Step Checkout Extension Into the Website. This Extension Simplifies the Checkout Process, Providing Customers With a Smoother and More Efficient Experience, While Also Increasing Potential Conversion Rates. To Ensure Proper Integration of the Extension, Our Developers Installed It and Customized It to Match the Website’s Aesthetic. Furthermore, We Configured the Extension to Reduce the Number of Steps Required for Doers to Complete Their Purchase.

The Sixth Requirement Was to Incorporate the Post NL Shipping API Into the Website, Due to the Existing Connection Between the Client and Their Trusted Shopping Provider. To Accomplish This, Our Team Installed and Configured the Post NL Extension on the Website. This Enabled Customers to Select Post NL as Their Preferred Shipping Carrier and Provided Current Shipping Rates During the Checkout Process.

We were tasked with creating an on-fly add-to-cart function to give customers the ability to add products to their cart before checkout for improved user experience and order completion. Our software engineers used Magento’s existing standards for this feature, customizing the “add-to-cart” button so that it appears on product listing pages. We ensured that the integration worked effectively and in unison with the current shopping cart functionality.

For Osmose, We Provided Several Solutions to Enhance Their Website’s User Experience. This Included Upgrading to Magento 2.4.5P1 for Improved Security and Performance, Integrating AMP and Optimizing Website Speed for Faster Loading Times. We Also Developed a Custom Theme to Align With the Brand Identity, Integrated the Kiyoh Ratings Extension for Customer Reviews and Ratings, and Implemented the Amasty One Step Checkout for an Easier Checkout Process.

Furthermore, We Integrated the Shipping API of Post NL for Better Delivery Tracking and Set Up the on Fly Add to Cart Function for a Smoother Browsing Experience. Overall, These Solutions Led to Improved Website Functionality and User Experience, Resulting in Higher Customer Satisfaction Rates and Increased Revenue for Osmose.
