QArea was asked to update and add new functionality to the Angelinos coffee & tea online store. The platform was released in 2015, and since then has been updated many times. It provides a wide range of tea and coffee products. Visitors can select items based on product characteristics, cost limitations, origin countries, etc.
The online store had a readymade backend, but with limited usability and lack of functionality related to external user operations (user invitations, gifts for invited users, etc). Thus, we had to improve the UI/UX of the site and add a set of new features to simplify the shopping process. In addition, we had to implement an updated payment system, as the old one did not have the ability to change the future delivery date for activated subscriptions.
Since the user activities played a huge role for our client, we also had to provide services related to user expectations. We needed to implement an effective newsletter subscription and set up its capabilities in accordance with the requirements of the client. Furthermore, to ensure uninterrupted operation of the site and smooth transitions between pages, we had to provide QA support at every stage of project development.
Our team provided both development and testing services as well as ensured comprehensive management support for our client. We used Drupal 7, PHP, and jQuery to complete Angelinos with the needed functionality. We have implemented recurring order subscriptions (Activate/Cancel/Pause/Skip next delivery) and refreshed payment system with the new version of Braintree.
To ensure the stable operation of the online store without unforeseen problems and security leaks, we used both manual and automated testing approaches. We focused on security testing and paid great attention to the compatibility of Angelinos with different web browsers, operating systems, and devices. We have made the interface quite intuitive, convenient, and simple.
Actually, the project is at the release stage and has visitors from all over the world. The required functionalities have been successfully completed and thoroughly tested. Now, we provide support services and monitor the correct operation of the online store. Our client is satisfied with the final results, while all user expectations were met. Users can easily buy the necessary products, receive gifts for recommendations, and more.
