About The Client

The customer’s business is a florist shop located in Austria. It offers a variety of fresh flowers and floral arrangements, serving both locals and tourists. The shop is known for its attention to detail and quality products.

Challenge

The client approached Magedia with an urgent issue: a critical bug was preventing customers from adding items to the shopping cart on their online store. As we worked to resolve this problem, we also offered the client a free audit to identify any other potential issues with their site. This audit revealed additional problems such as slow page loading speed and other bugs. The client agreed to implement our recommendations to fix these issues, and also asked us to integrate their webstore with a local QR payment service and install an SEO module.

Solution

Methodology

We utilized Agile methodology to accomplish the project objectives. This enabled us to collaborate closely with the client, prioritize tasks effectively, and deliver results with flexibility and efficiency.

Maintenance and Performance Optimization

We quickly found and fixed the major problem that was stopping customers from adding items to their shopping cart. But we didn’t stop there. We also did a free check of the client’s online store and found other issues, like slow page loading and some bugs. We fixed these problems right away and improved the  website load time, taking it from 3 seconds to just 1,5 second. This made sure that the site was working well and safely.

QR Payment Integration

As part of our work to improve the client’s online store, we integrated a local QR payment system to provide customers with a more convenient and modern payment option. The integration involved configuring the payment gateway, testing the system to ensure proper functionality, and providing instructions to the client on how to use and manage the new payment method. With this new feature, customers could easily scan a QR code with their mobile device to complete their purchase, making the checkout process faster and more streamlined. This enhancement helped to improve the overall customer experience and increase sales for the client’s business.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) module

To improve the client’s online store’s search engine optimization, we installed a module that enables automatic generation of fully customized content for meta tags (Meta Title, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, URL rewrite). Additionally, the module can automatically create social media meta tags for Facebook shared titles and Twitter cards. With these enhancements, the client’s online store was better equipped to attract more organic traffic and rank higher in search engine results, ultimately leading to increased sales and revenue for their business.

Since then, we have continued our cooperation with the client on an ongoing basis and have helped with his current tasks and plans for the website.
