Our Process
Our structured approach to the StoneButterfly project was focused on minimising downtime and delivering a high-quality upgrade. We collaborated closely with the client throughout the process to ensure the project’s goals were achieved without disrupting their business operations.
Requirements
StoneButterfly needed to upgrade its website’s platform and modules from Magento 2.2.2 to 2.4.2 to maximize security and ensure the best online user experience and customer satisfaction. The project involved upgrades to both default and custom modules. They demanded that all the existing functional features and content of the website should be carefully restored onto the new version. They also asked us to ensure good speed performance post version upgrade.
Solutions
We designed a migration plan to ensure there was no interruption to StoneButterfly’s day-to-day business. The project was managed with BaseCamp 3 and weekly calls to ensure progress and feedback were shared continuously. We retained all existing functionality, including custom layouts, a one-page check-out, pre-order features and product sample pages, and other site content, as well as customer and order data. All site upgrades need to be planned carefully because of the risk of reduction in site speed and SEO performance.
Results
Within 2.5 weeks, we successfully upgraded the site and ensured it was optimised for speed as well as for search engines. StoneButterfly was able to continue to trade without interruption during the project, and they benefited from the extra security and peace of mind offered by the latest version of Magento. The client has signed up to our Silver Support package. We added Klarna, Apple Pay & Google Pay, an interactive search bar, and AI-driven product listing for a personalised shopping experience.
