Overview
Kråkegull is a reuse/secondhand shop (gjenbruksbutikk) in Norway that operates a Saturday market (“Lørdagslopper”) along with an online presence. Their shop page showcases items available for sale, combining eCommerce with sustainable, reused goods. The site is designed to reflect their mission of reuse and community, while making it simple for visitors to browse, discover, and purchase goods online.
Challenges
- Displaying a diverse catalog of secondhand or reused items in a clean, navigable way—products change frequently.
- Ensuring site performance remains good despite potentially many product images, updates, and catalog changes.
- Integrating analytics/tracking (via Google Tag Manager) without degrading performance.
- Making Divi theme customization flexible so the client can adapt layouts as inventory shifts.
- Ensuring the frontend scripting (jQuery, PHP) handles dynamic content (shop filters, product updates) reliably.
- Ensuring mobile responsiveness so users browsing from phones or tablets can navigate & purchase smoothly.
Solutions
- Built Divi-based custom layouts for shop pages, category filtering, product details, and shop navigation.
- Used PHP & MySQL for backend logic—handling product data, inventory, and dynamic content updates.
- Integrated Google Tag Manager and Site Kit for analytics, conversion event tracking, and performance insights.
- Employed jQuery and custom JS (via PHP & theme) to handle dynamic interactions, filters, hover effects, etc.
- Optimized images (compression, lazy load), deferred noncritical scripts, and improved caching to keep page loads fast.
- Tested layouts across device sizes and refined breakpoints to ensure responsive usability and accessibility.
