Our Approach

A deep dive into how AddWeb Solution Helped MeccaBooks.

While evaluating MeccaBooks’ previous website, it was apparent that the site lacked modernization in terms of speed and user experience, considering the unique range of products MeccaBooks had to offer. Turning the vision of MeccaBooks’ into reality was challenging but exciting.

Our approach was not limited to improvisation of the user journey and modernization of the tech stack, but the ease of maintenance post-deployment without much dependency on the technical team was also an essential factor for a cost-effective solution.

User journey simplicity was the core of UI/UX phase.
Drupal was chosen to ease down the backend process.
VueStoreFront was chosen to improve the end-user experience.
Magento was chosen to provide exponential eCommerce features.
