The customer is a leading retail business.
A well-known e-commerce company encountered an issue with its website. Both the front and back end suffered from outdated functionalities and poor user experiences, severely impacting customer retention and accessibility across the digital platform.
As user frustrations increased, the company realized it was time to take decisive action. Their market position would surely be damaged if they allowed the website to fail. To revive its online presence, our customer required a creative solution.
A smooth transition was necessary to minimize delays and ensure continuity. The customer partnered with VisionX to carry out these operations. This choice demonstrated VisionX’s track record of sparking website redesigns. VisionX focused on revamping the website through best-in-class web technologies on both the front and back-end.
After extensive analysis, VisionX proposed a robust, custom solution. For the front-end user interface, we recommended adopting React.js – a powerful JavaScript library acclaimed for responsiveness and user-friendly interactions.
We also supported switching to Node.js for the backend architecture. This server-side technology would drastically enhance the website’s speed, scalability, and overall performance. React and Node formed a powerful tech stack to future-proof the online presence.
Additionally, our team implemented Elasticsearch, increasing the number of products available on search pages from 20 to 40 per page. The product load time decreased to 400 milliseconds.
Integrating the full checkout process in the site’s search flyout enabled users to complete purchases without navigating to separate screens. We maintain users’ past purchase history and show relevant products based on that history. Users can re-order the products by going through their past purchases.
However, no large-scale overhaul comes without hurdles. The project team proactively identified and mitigated several critical pain points:
VisionX addressed these potential challenges by carefully planning and carrying out the project, allowing for a smooth transition in accordance with industry best practices.

But the evolution didn’t stop there. The Customer and VisionX continued enhancing the website through agile, iterative updates:
