Project Summary

ADVOX Studio is building an e-commerce progressive web app and migrating the client’s site from Magento 1 to Magento 2, working across frontend (React) and backend (Magento) tasks. The engagement is ongoing since February 2019 and includes a small dedicated team (project manager, React frontend developer and Magento backend developers). Stakeholders expect substantially faster load times, improved usability, and a shorter content/page development process once all parts are in place.

Key Challenges

Need to adopt React and PWA to make the shop faster, more responsive, and mobile-friendly
Launching one of the few e-commerce PWAs on the market (introducing a new solution)
Requirement for scalable development capacity and access to varied expertise

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

ADVOX Studio provided a small cross-functional team — a project manager, a React frontend developer and Magento backend developers — to develop a progressive web app and to migrate the site from Magento 1 to Magento 2.
