EYEWEAR E-COMMERCE / CASE STUDY
Nivox.
From finding a frame to running the store.
Nivox brings the shopping experience and the day-to-day work of managing a store into one custom e-commerce project. It connects product discovery, customer accounts, and checkout with the tools behind the storefront.
A live preview of the current PHP / MySQL version is coming soon.
01 / THE BRIEF
The goal.
Build more than a set of shop pages: connect the customer journey with practical tools for managing products, categories, inventory, and orders.
MY CONTRIBUTION
My role.
I designed the storefront and administration interfaces and developed the front end, back end, database structure, and product and order management workflows.
02 / THE EXPERIENCE
What the project brings together.
Customer experience
Favorites, product reviews, account access, saved addresses, and order history bring the browsing and account experience together.
Cart & checkout
Cart quantities, totals, and discounts are calculated on the server. The project includes address selection and Stripe Checkout integration, tested in Stripe’s test mode.
Product administration
Manage product images, pricing, stock, and discounts. Quick edits and independent product duplication support catalog maintenance.
Category structure
A two-level category hierarchy gives each subcategory its own address and keeps products organized under the appropriate parent category.
Content & operations
Administration covers orders, users, incoming messages, and reviews. Blog pages support articles and reader comments.
03 / BEHIND THE INTERFACE
Engineering decisions.
- Shared PHP components
- Shared page components and separate request handlers organize the interface and processing logic for ongoing maintenance.
- Relational data access
- MySQL and PDO support the data layer, with parameterized queries in data operations. This is one part of the engineering approach, not a claim of complete security.
- Clear catalog URLs
- Readable product and category slugs make pages easier to navigate and share.
04 / WHAT’S NEXT
A new foundation for the next version.
