Challenge

The primary challenges in building the new website were:

  • Creating a New Online Presence: Develop a new e-commerce platform for a pet supply shop without a previous website.
  • User-Friendly Mobile Experience: Ensure the website is easy to navigate and use on mobile devices, as many local customers prefer shopping from their phones.
  • Another significant challenge we faced was Product Management. We had to create an intuitive system for categorising products and managing inventory. This system needed to be user-friendly and allow client to add new products easily. We added a feature enabling the client to add new products directly from their mobile phone, ensuring that the online store’s inventory is always up-to-date.
  • Product Photography: Provide high-quality product photography to make the online store visually appealing and improve search engine optimisation (SEO).
  • SEO and Local Promotion: Optimise the website for SEO, mainly to rank highly in Google for searches related to pet supplies in Kells, Co. Meath.

The Result

The new website delivered several key improvements:

  • Modern and Engaging Design: The website features a contemporary and visually appealing design that is easy to navigate, encouraging local customers to shop online.
  • Mobile-Friendly Shopping: The website is optimised for mobile devices, making it easy for customers to browse and purchase products on the go.
  • Product Management System: We made a simple product filter and category system, plus a feature to add new products directly from mobile phones, making it easy to manage inventory.
  • Our commitment to quality extends to the visual representation of our Photography: We provided professional Product Photography to enhance the uniqueness of our offerings and improve the website’s SEO. This ensures that what you see on our website is an accurate and appealing representation of the high-quality products we offer, instilling confidence in your purchase decisions.
  • SEO Optimisation and Quick Indexing: We implemented technical SEO work to help the store rank highly on Google, leading to quick indexing and high rankings for search terms like ‘Pet Shop in Kells.’
