Client’s challenge

The client has a multistore on Magento 2 with a high level of animations. The configurator, which was used on multiple other projects running on M1 and M2, lacked code consistency. Each event added to the configurator demanded distinct coding, leading to extended development time for the client.
Additionally, the client aimed to integrate the Hyvä theme but lacked the necessary expertise for its optimization and ongoing support.

Code inconsistency
Slow loading times
Decreased site performance
Problems with configurator integration
Product configurator issues that extended development time

Solution

The NEKLO team has stepped up on the project, auditing the issues and offering a custom solution.

Hyvä theme setup

We implemented the Hyvä theme and now are providing its ongoing enhancement and support. Key components such as the pop-up window system, cart sidebar, and smaller elements like sliders for related products were specifically developed using Hyvä.

Custom product configurator

We developed a product configurator using the VUE framework, leveraging Global Events. This configurator effectively monitors connections between the properties of different products. This way, when a button is clicked within the configurator, other page elements built in the Hyvä theme can seamlessly track and respond to these interactions.

Single code

The standalone configurator enables quick integration into various projects, including Magento 1. It serves as a unified codebase, ensuring consistent page load speeds and swift error resolution for stability across all resources.

Dynamic galleries

We created dynamic galleries that use lazy loading for images to reduce page load times.
