About the project
Emily Carter is an award-winning British designer based in London, specialising in hand illustrated silk accessories, stationery, and furnishings. She needed to migrate her existing online store to Shopify, which included updating elements of her site design. As an artist, her site needed to support a large number of high resolution images whilst still maintaining fast loading speeds. This site was built using the 'Debut' theme.
Responsibilities
Infinite Scroll
I developed the code to enable infinite scrolling on the collection pages. This feature can be adjusted from the Shopify customiser and allows the store admin to quickly switch between an infinite scroll which automatically loads more products, one which loads more products when a 'view more' button is clicked, and Shopify's default paginated view. When you click through to a product page it remembers your place on the collections page and quickly restores your position if you navigate back.
Gallery
I created two gallery pages to show-case the illustrations and patterns used in the products. The gallery has two layout styles - masonry and grid - which can be easily switched between from the customiser. The masonry gallery supports as many images as required and the images run horizontally allowing them to be easily paired in the desired way. In order to optomise user experience on this page I resized the images and ran performance tests to ensure minimum loading times whilst maintaining image quality.
Product Customisation
I added an option to allow customisation of certain product. Selecting this option changes the price of the item and the extra cost is itemised on the cart page along with the customisation details.
