Initial Assessment: The client wanted a high-end wellness brand website that could support future growth and give her brand a premium feel. From the start, it was clear that a scalable, maintainable solution was necessary, as the client wanted independence and flexibility in managing her store long-term.
Technical & Strategic Decisions: I chose WooCommerce as the platform after evaluating the client’s needs, future growth potential, and developer availability. This avoided over-engineering, ensured maintainability, and allowed the client to easily manage updates or bring in external developers if needed. Custom-coded solutions would have increased costs and dependency while providing limited additional value at this stage.
Team & Resource Management: I carefully selected designers and developers to align with the client’s expectations for a high-end brand. After assessing the first designers’ output, I replaced them with specialists who could deliver minimalistic, premium designs aligned with the client’s vision — a style similar to stores in Central London. This ensured the final product reflected the brand’s positioning.
Process Oversight & Quality Control: Throughout development, I ensured all code was component-based, reusable, and consistent. I reviewed database relationships, naming conventions, and technical implementation to maintain long-term stability and scalability. Even small decisions — like simplifying the product verification workflow — were made with consideration of operational efficiency, security, and future maintainability.
Product & Brand Integration: Beyond the website, I also oversaw the design of the product packaging, ensuring consistency between the digital and physical brand experience. Every technical and design choice was made to reinforce the premium feel of the brand.
Outcome: The WooCommerce website was launched successfully, providing the client with a scalable, maintainable, and premium e-commerce platform. The client immediately saw results in revenue, and the system continues to support growth. All technical decisions were aligned with both operational feasibility and brand strategy, reducing risk while maximizing long-term impact.
