Experience

WordPress | WooCommerce Custom Theme Development

https://pharaohdistro.com/

I take great pride in presenting the WordPress theme I meticulously built, featuring seamless integration with WooCommerce. With a keen eye for detail, I brought to life the client's vision, translating their Figma design into a fully functional and visually stunning theme.

This exceptional creation stands out for its complete reliance on a block-based framework, allowing for effortless customization and unmatched flexibility. Every element of the theme can be easily adjusted to suit specific requirements, giving users the freedom to create a truly unique online presence.

However, what truly sets this theme apart is its ability to connect with multiple vendor WooCommerce websites. Leveraging the power of the REST API, I seamlessly integrated the main website with various vendor platforms. As a result, whenever an order is placed on the main website, the theme automatically generates and synchronizes the order across all connected vendor websites. This ingenious feature simplifies the order management process, providing a seamless experience for both customers and vendors.

Amazon Marketing Website – Elementor

Presenting a stunning WordPress website meticulously built using Elementor. With a focus on captivating animations and interactions, every element of this website was carefully designed within the Elementor builder. I ensured optimal functionality across all devices by converting the client's Figma design into a fully responsive website. Experience seamless navigation, visually appealing animations, and a user-friendly interface. Explore this captivating website today.

Figma Design to WordPress Theme

This is a remarkable website I developed for one of my esteemed clients at Toptal. Tasked with transforming their Figma design into a functional masterpiece, I successfully converted it into a captivating WordPress theme. Leveraging the power of Elementor, I meticulously crafted every aspect of the website, ensuring a seamless user experience. Additionally, I built custom widgets for Elementor, adding unique functionality and further enhancing the website's capabilities. Witness the fusion of design and technology come to life in this exceptional WordPress website.

eCommerce Store with NFT Shop

I took on the exciting challenge of revamping my client's outdated website, breathing new life into their online presence. With meticulous attention to detail, I built this website from scratch, ensuring a fresh and modern design that aligns with the client's brand identity. To elevate the user experience, I seamlessly integrated the website with an NFT market using a robust API, providing visitors access to a dynamic and engaging platform. Moreover, I implemented custom payment gateways, enabling secure and seamless transactions for users. To further enhance the website's functionality, I incorporated custom back-end features tailored to the client's specific needs, streamlining their operations and empowering efficient management. Witness the transformation of this website as it becomes a powerful tool, connecting the client with their audience and providing an unparalleled user experience.

Chatbot Plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/sa-woo-smart-chatbot/

I created a chatbot plugin for WooCommerce since I am primarily working on my own ideas in my free time. This plugin provides an interface through which users can easily search products on the website in the form of chatting, all you have to do is tell the bot what you are looking for, and it will get results based on your request.

Squarespace Development
