Project Summary
Client is a small business owner who wanted a new e-commerce site for the launch of her brand. She is a UI/UX designer and already had high fidelity mock-ups ready to go and required a developer to implement for her. Given the complexity of the effects and a desire to keep the site maintenance/costs low, it was decided that I would build out a microservices architecture that utilized a custom storefront, alongside headless Shopify for the CMS and checkout.
The Technicals
Built on Gatsby, deployed on Netlify, and powered by Shopify.
Gatsby, a React-based open source framework, allowed us the flexibility to create the unique, lookbook inspired style the client had provided in their mock-ups while providing us structure to easily template reusable components and add additional animations to give the site a more luxurious feel. With its vast support of Gatsby built applications and integrated CI/CD pipeline to GitHub, Netlify was a strong choice for deployment platform. Shopify provided a low cost inventory management system, an intuitive UI that the client could easily navigate, and a robust Storefront API to pull products, prices, and checkout URL.
