Overview
Shopilya is a Philippines-based e-commerce store offering a curated selection of lifestyle and personal products, with a focus on privacy, discreet delivery, and a user-friendly shopping experience.
The work involved supporting their Shopify website through a series of design updates and feature implementations.
The Problem
The website was already live and functional but needed improvements to support new features and enhance the overall experience.
This included:
- updating parts of the UI based on new design directions
- adding new functionality to support business needs
- improving usability across different sections
My Role
I worked as a developer on a project basis between 2018 and 2019, helping implement updates and improvements to the existing Shopify site.
My work focused on translating design changes into production and integrating third-party tools when needed.
Approach
The work was done in iterations based on specific requirements.
- Implemented UI updates based on provided designs
- Integrated and configured Shopify apps and plugins
- Added features such as rewards and customer engagement tools
- Ensured updates worked smoothly within the existing system
Key Considerations
Since the platform handles personal and sensitive purchases, maintaining a smooth and trustworthy experience was important.
- Keeping the interface clear and easy to navigate
- Ensuring features worked reliably without disrupting existing flows
- Supporting a seamless and discreet checkout experience
Outcome
The updates helped improve the overall usability of the website and introduced new features to support business needs at the time.
The platform maintained a consistent and functional experience following these improvements.
