Brain Station 23 overhauled a South African home décor brand's nopCommerce e-commerce site, upgrading the platform, improving performance, and rebuilding the storefront to reflect the brand. They built a custom Rug Builder with real-time 3D previews and expanded product customization, implemented analytics and anti-bot protections, and provided QA and post-launch support.
