Design & Development
Discovery Phase
Collaborated closely with the Capitol Phone Accessories team to understand their business goals, target audience, and product range. Conducted a comprehensive analysis of competitors and industry standards to inform design decisions and identify opportunities for differentiation.
Design Process
The design process began with wireframing and prototyping in Figma, focusing on creating user flows that were intuitive and accessible while also maintaining visual appeal. Branding elements, including the company’s colour palette and typography, were seamlessly integrated into the design to ensure consistency and reinforce the brand identity. The final design was fully responsive, ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of devices and screen sizes to deliver an exceptional user experience.
Shopify Development
The Shopify development phase involved customising a premium theme to align with Capitol Phone Accessories’ branding and functional requirements, resulting in a polished and professional platform. Products were carefully organised into clear categories, such as chargers, earphones, power banks, and travel accessories, with detailed descriptions and high-resolution images to enhance the shopping experience. Secure payment gateways and flexible shipping options were integrated to cater to customers across the UK and Ireland. Additionally, SEO best practices were implemented, including the optimisation of meta tags, URLs, and on-site content, to improve search engine visibility and attract organic traffic.
Testing, Launch, and Support
Before launch, thorough testing was conducted to ensure the website’s functionality, performance, and compatibility across various browsers and devices. The site was also optimised for speed and usability, guaranteeing a smooth and efficient user experience.
