Figma to Magento Theme Conversion Services

Project Goal

The client wanted us to help with the migration of his store to the Magento 2 platform. In addition to the migration of the store to an entirely new platform, the challenge was also there to ensure the brand guidelines for layouts and plugins. The client wanted his website to look exactly like the previous version. We need to configure both paid and free extensions to match the existing layout while working to fix the bugs encountered by our team.

Solution

After completing the process we came up with the following solutions for the client: ✔️ Redesigning the template to match the user experience The earlier version of the website has an outstanding customer experience, and the client does not want any changes. Our team recreated the entire theme and copied the elements from the original store to give a similar customer experience on the website after migration to Magento 2 platform. The sole purpose of undertaking this task was to make sure that the client’s store does not lose its valuable customers.

✔️ Identifying and customizing up to 15 different extensions The store of the client was using multiple extensions. As Magento 1 extensions won’t work with Magento 2 stores, we had to identify the extensions to provide an effective replacement. However, the problem was that we were unable to find the corresponding variants for every extension. Apart from customizing the extensions that we found, our team also developed the working models of the unavailable extensions. We were able to save the below features of the website by undertaking the development of extensions:

• Stock Management
• Email Management
• Product Reviews
• Shipping management

✔️ Customizing the cart and shipping classes to match the M1 version ️There were significant differences between the cart and shipping classes on the M2 version. Our client wanted these classes to be the same as the M1 version, so our team customized these fields to match the M1 version of the website.

✔️ Enhancing the store experience for customers ️To ensure easy navigation on the website, we added categories to all the pages so that users can switch between them with ease. We also customized the product pages with preview options, discount offers, and dynamic reviews. We also added a custom popup display for quick insights about the product and an “Add to Cart” button to add products in the shopping cart without even visiting the product page.

✔️ Adding custom module for reviews and feedback ️Though there was already a product review section client wanted us to develop a module that can display the reviews of the website on the home page. We created a custom module displaying the website reviews on the left sidebar of the website’s home page.

✔️ Final Words The client was happy to see how our experienced developers brought his store back on track. We applied our expertise to ensure that there is no loss of data during the migration process.

Project Goal

Our client was running a well-established eCommerce store for Automobiles using the Magento 1 platform. As Magento 1 ended its support, it became vital for the client to migrate his website to the latest Magento 2 platform. The client wants to maintain the look and feel as per the brand guidelines while creating a brand new store.

• Migrate the products, customers, and orders to the new store.
• Restore all the previous data.
• Upkeep the APIs

Understanding the need of the hour, the client contacted Magento development team and discussed his requirements, and after understanding them well, our team took up this challenging task to create another success story for TBI.

Solution

After evaluating our options, the team came up with the below solutions for the accomplishment of this project:

✔️ Developing an entirely new theme

As it was not possible to use the existing Magento 1 theme of the store, so we developed it from scratch. We matched the elements of user experience and ensured adherence to the brand guidelines. Apart from the existing features, we also worked on the new features that the client wanted in his new website. Sliders, product filters, best-selling section, and product categories were among a few of the features that we worked upon during this project.

✔️ Customising the store sections

The client also wanted a customized look for sections such as store categories. After discussing the store section customization needs with the client, we applied the best methodologies to inculcate those changes as per his desire. Below is an example of how we customized the store categories to narrow down the user’s search.

✔️ Customising the third party extensions

As most of the third-party extensions that work on Magento 1 stores are not compatible with Magento 2, we have to look for substitutes that can help us get similar features. Apart from finding those substitutes, our team also customized them. The purpose was to match the look, feel, and requirements of the store. Below is an example of one of the custom extensions that we customized for enhancing the user experience.

✔️ Product Comparison

Product comparison is one of the most prominent features that you can find on any popular eCommerce store. The client wanted to have this feature on his website so, we added a custom page where users can compare two products easily. Have a look at the below picture to get an idea of how this page looks on the website.

✔️ Narrowing the search using Year, Make, Model and Trim Filter

We added a custom functionality to the website that allows the users to narrow their search by selecting the Year of manufacturing, make, and model of their vehicles. Once the user selects these details, the website will display the products and accessories most relevant for them.

✔️ Data Transfer

As we mentioned earlier also that store has thousands of products, users, and orders that need a transfer to the new Magento 2 platform. We ensured to not lose even a single piece of data during the process. Losing the data is not an option in this project as it can affect the client’s business. We took the backups and transferred all the data to the new platform effectively.

✔️ Final words

Undertaking the migration of an eCommerce store to a new platform is a complicated task. There are enough chances to end up losing data and user experience during this process. As we are working on such technologies for many years, we successfully delivered this project to add a new milestone for TBI.

“Project delivered on time. Any queries were handled promptly. Communication was quick and concise. We’ve been happy with their work, we will definitely be using the again.”

Project Goal

️The client was running an eCommerce store with multiple storefronts and store views. The goal was to upgrade the store from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2.3.5 while adhering to the brand guidelines and existing UI.

The most crucial part of this project was to ensure that the client does not lose any data vital for his business during the migration process. The website constitutes three different Magento stores, and every website has the same product but different prices.

We need to find:

• Right solution for extensions that are not compatible with the Magento 2 platform.
• Customize the substitutes to match the functionalities and user experience of the Magento 1 version.
• Create a custom script to facilitate the updating of inventory on all storefronts simultaneously.

Solution

️After understanding the concerns of the client we came up with the following solutions for migrating his store to Magento 2.3.5:

✔️ Upgrading from Magento 1.9 website to Magento 2.3.5

After the careful assessment of options in hand, we initiated upgrading the Magento 1.9 version of the store to the Magento 2.3.5 version. We performed the upgrade of three store views and three storefronts of this website. It was a technically challenging task as we need to migrate multiple storefronts at the same time. Thanks to the expertise of our team for being able to do this without encountering any major issues.

I placed the likes of Veils and shoulder attachments under Removable accessories or optional customization.

✔️ Developing a brand new theme for Magento 2

The foremost challenge while working on this project was to create a brand new theme for the store. We need to do this without compromising the brand guidelines and user experience that the Magento 1 version of this website has. It was impossible to migrate the theme to Magento 2, so our team worked on creating the Magento theme to match the existing look and feel of the website.

✔️ Creating a custom script to upload inventory and prices.

️We developed a custom script to enable the uploading of the products through a CSV file. It enabled us to update the prices of products on different storefronts simultaneously. We can now display three different prices of a single product on different storefronts of the website. We broke the default update functions to run them parallelly to encounter huge cache builds upon the server.

✔️ Customization of extensions

️The extensions that used to provide various functionalities and user experience on the earlier version were not compatible with the Magento 2 theme that we developed for the client. We developed custom extensions to replace the existing ones. The purpose was to ensure that website retains the same functionality and user experience after successful migration to the new platform.

✔️ Custom Product Sliders on the Home page

️To enhance the user experience on the website, we added custom product sliders on the home page. Users can browse similar products easily without scouring the category page of the store.

We created a custom slider to display the new arrivals in the store. It was useful to get hold of the latest additions to the store easily.

✔️ Ongoing maintenance for the website

️In addition to executing the platform upgrade, we are also providing ongoing maintenance support to the client. We will resolve any concern or issue before it grows into a big problem for the store. We also ensure the regular updates for extensions and other addons so that the website remains updated to the latest standards of the eCommerce industry.

✔️ Final words

️The proven profound expertise of TBI’s team in Magento was one of the key factors that contributed to the success of this project. Now the client’s store is upgraded with functional, performance, and security fixes.
