Pine and Oak Shop Case Study

Our objective was to rebuild the Pine and Oak Shop website using the latest OpenCart version and a new responsive theme to give users the best browsing experience.

We started by setting up the development server and installing OpenCart 2.1.0.1. Our team and designers then carefully selected a theme, similar to another project of ours, GetLaidBeds.

We focused on making the homepage eye-catching and functional. We included a header with the client's logo on the left and important information, like the phone number and order line hours, on the right. The top menu had a dark grey background with options like HOME, WOOD TYPE, BY ROOM, and more. We also included a slideshow banner and an info area with 5 graphics showcasing important features like free delivery, secure payment, and more.

The "Best Selling Ranges" area showcases about 8 selected categories and the "Best Selling Products" area showcases about 8 products. The footer was based on the default OpenCart layout, and the category and product pages were designed based on the homepage design.

We also added several key features to enhance the user experience. A "Best Selling Ranges" module was built to show about 8 selected categories on the homepage, and the contact us page included a Google Maps integration. We also migrated the content from the old website, including important information pages like About Us, Privacy Policy, and more.

We installed OpenBay Pro and enabled PayPoint as a payment method, as well as SEO URLs and social media links.
