What AD-IOS Did
Custom E-commerce Development and Advanced Inventory Management
We rebuilt the website using WordPress with custom plugins and themes to meet the unique needs of American Cabin Supply. The e-commerce functionality was enhanced to handle extensive product categorization, dynamic product variations, and customizable options based on user inputs. We integrated a custom inventory management system that synchronizes in real-time with external platforms like SAGE, ensuring accurate stock levels and reducing manual workload. This robust system allows for dynamic pricing, real-time inventory updates, and efficient handling of multiple product variations.
Enhanced User Experience with Responsive Design and Intuitive Navigation
Utilizing the Bootstrap framework, we ensured the website's layout adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, providing an optimal viewing experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. We focused on clean UI/UX design, creating intuitive navigation menus and advanced search and filtering options. This helps users efficiently explore the wide variety of products, enhancing the overall user experience and engagement.
SEO Optimization, Performance Enhancements, and Content Delivery
To improve search engine visibility and site performance, we leveraged Yoast SEO for meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Lazy loading for images was implemented to optimize page performance, and the site was integrated with bunny.net CDN for faster content delivery. Custom Gutenberg blocks and Sass were used for efficient styling and a unique site design. These optimizations ensured the website is not only visually appealing but also performs well across different devices and achieves higher rankings in search engine results.
Customizable Product Options, Downloadable Resources, and Order Management
We enhanced the product customization capabilities, allowing customers to personalize their orders with specific printing characteristics, ink color matching, and proofing options. To provide valuable resources, we developed features allowing users to download clipart, fonts, stock shapes, templates, and PDF catalogs. An organized documentation system, including downloadable order forms and detailed general information sections, was implemented to streamline the ordering process. This empowers clients to access all necessary information and tools for customizing their orders efficiently.
Integration with External Systems and Secure Content Delivery
To ensure real-time inventory management and operational efficiency, we integrated the website with external inventory systems like SAGE. The synchronization allows for accurate stock levels to be displayed, reducing the risk of overselling and improving customer trust. We also integrated the site with a Content Delivery Network (CDN) via bunny.net, ensuring fast and reliable content delivery to users worldwide. Security measures, including SSL encryption and secure payment processing, were implemented to protect sensitive data and transactions.
Social Media Integration and Enhanced Customer Support Features
To expand the company's online presence and facilitate broader reach, we integrated social media features including Open Graph and Twitter Cards for easy sharing of products and pages. Social sharing buttons were strategically placed to encourage user engagement and brand promotion. We also added features to support customer inquiries and feedback, including contact forms, live chat options, and a comprehensive FAQ section. This ensures customers can easily reach out for assistance and find answers to common questions, enhancing the overall customer service experience.
