Background
- The site was built using Enfold theme
- Craig, the co-owner of Delicious Fine Foods, wanted to customize few things around the site, including the site’s layout, the grids, the blog posts and few custom functionalities
Project Scope
- This project is a combination of custom functionalities and many improvements within the site
- The improvement to the header including the logo and navigation layout (mega menu) and navigation icons
- Create custom grids for the blog page
- Improve the page speed load
- Update the overridden WooCommerce file in the child theme and ensure compatibility with core WooCommerce file
Approach
- There are many things to adjust or customize, so we clone the site and make it a staging site
- Once everything within the project scope have been completed and approved, all the changes are migrated to the live site
- For the page load speed, the previous coding within child theme’s functions.php needs to be cleaned up
- Few plugins might need to be removed and/or replaced by better and more lightweight plugin
- Perform adjustment to the CSS and JavaScript (jQuery)
Result
- The site has a lot of improvement and is looking awesome
- The blog page is using The Grid plugin
The site is hosted with Cloudways - The page load speed is under 3 seconds after optimization
- The site is live at https://deliciousoilsandvinegars.co.uk/
