About Our Client
Our client is a leading European fashion brand with a strong online presence, offering trendy and sustainable apparel for men and women. Despite a wide customer base, they were struggling with low mobile conversion rates due to a poor mobile shopping experience.
Challenge
The brand was experiencing a high bounce rate and cart abandonment on mobile devices. This issue stemmed from multiple pain points, including:
- Slow page loading times
- Lack of offline accessibility
- Poor mobile responsiveness and overall user experience
- Inconsistent performance across mobile browsers
- High dependency on app stores, leading to slower adoption and updates
The client needed a solution that could improve the mobile experience without the need for native app downloads and excessive resource consumption.
Solution
Celestial Infosoft proposed a Progressive Web App (PWA) solution to tackle these challenges. The PWA was designed to replicate a native app experience directly in the browser, ensuring the following features:
- Fast Loading: Utilized service workers and caching strategies to enable instant loading even on low-speed networks.
- Mobile-First Design: Optimized user interfaces and touch-friendly navigation tailored for mobile devices.
- Push Notifications: Integrated real-time notifications to alert users about offers, promotions, and restocks.
- Offline Accessibility: Enabled full functionality, including browsing and adding items to the cart, even when users were offline.
- App-Like Experience: Seamlessly integrated features like home screen installation, smooth transitions, and mobile gestures to ensure users had a native app-like experience.
- Cross-Device Compatibility: Developed the app to function consistently across Android, iOS, and desktop browsers.
Our team worked in close collaboration with the client to design and implement this solution, ensuring it aligned with the brand’s identity and overall e-commerce goals.
