We had an old e-commerce site for our primary brand that was obsolete because it was built using Magento 1. JPLoft stepped in to assist us redesign and convert our site to a Magento 2-based platform, with an emphasis on the user experience.

JPLoft built a platform that relied on a massive database to store the material and partner information we had gathered from three separate websites.

Our major aim was to upgrade our app's codebase to meet current industry standards. We sent JPLoft our source code and design materials, and they did a thorough code review. They created a thorough analysis indicating missing features and an optimization report outlining essential revisions to match the most recent market requirements. JPLoft then offered us the option of modifying the existing app or building on what had previously been accomplished.

Currently, we continue to work with JPLoft. We are in the process of revamping the app to improve its market visibility and value. JPLoft helps us with everything from code refactoring to the creation and optimization of new features. Furthermore, we have employed their marketing services to meet our promotional demands.
