Scarpa
https://www.scarpa.com/I was involved with this project alongside eCommerce specialized partner agency of mine. I crafted entirely custom frontend architecture for this Magento 2 store. Frontend was built on top of UIkit library, instead of default Magento 2 UI library for simplicity. I then styled the entire checkout and product page responsively in line with the designs on top of UIkit. Lastly I built B2B recurring membership Magento 2 module allowing customers to apply for Pro membership in order to gain access to exclusive items and additional discounts on select items. I also assisted with AWS hosting environment architecture and designed Capistrano based deployment system for this project.
