Advanced Custom Product Filtering & SearchFor a home furnishings store, a basic filter is inadequate. We build a dynamic filtering system that allows customers to search products not just by category, but by multiple relevant attributes simultaneously, making the browsing experience intuitive and enjoyable.Attribute-Driven Facets: Enable filtering by Material (Wood, Glass, Fabric, Metal), Colour (Multi-select), Style (Minimalist, Rustic, Modern, Bohemian), Room (Bedroom, Living Room, Office), and Dimensions (H x W x D).Real-Time Results: The filter updates instantaneously, reducing load times and preventing user frustration.SEO-Friendly Filtering: Filters are configured to maintain SEO value, allowing specific filtered pages (e.g., “Modern Oak Dining Tables in Nairobi”) to be indexed by Google, driving targeted organic traffic.2. High-Resolution Image Optimization PipelineFurniture and decor sales are driven by visual appeal. High-resolution images are non-negotiable, but they must not compromise site speed. We implement an optimization strategy that maintains visual quality while achieving lightning-fast load times.Next-Gen Image Formats: Implementation of modern formats (like WebP) that compress images more effectively than standard JPEGs.Lazy Loading: Images outside the user’s current view are only loaded when they scroll down, ensuring the crucial above-the-fold content loads instantly.Responsive Image Delivery: The site automatically serves the appropriately sized image for the user’s device (mobile, tablet, or desktop), preventing mobile users from downloading massive, unnecessary files.3. Custom Local Delivery & Logistics Plugin IntegrationShipping large or fragile items is the number one logistical challenge in e-commerce, especially within Kenya. This is solved with a tailored shipping solution.Zone-Based Shipping: Setup and configuration of a precise shipping plugin that calculates rates based on the customer’s specific location (e.g., Nairobi CBD, Westlands, Mombasa Island, etc.), factoring in the size/weight of the furnishings.M-Pesa Integration: Full, seamless integration of M-Pesa (Safaricom) payment gateway, the most critical payment method for the Kenyan market, alongside traditional card payments.Order Tracking: Integration of a reliable tracking system/plugin so customers can follow their high-value order from dispatch to delivery, enhancing trust and reducing support calls.Section 3: Standard E-commerce Foundation (Included)In addition to the premium features, the $\text{KSh 185,000}$ package includes a robust foundation built on the latest e-commerce best practices:Professional, Mobile-First Design: A sleek, contemporary design reflecting the sophistication of the home decor niche, guaranteed to look flawless on all devices.Secure Checkout & SSL: 256-bit SSL encryption to ensure all customer data and payment details are safe.Inventory Management System: A robust system to manage stock levels, variations (size, color), and supplier stock feeds.Basic SEO Setup: Configuration of title tags, meta descriptions, sitemaps, and basic schema to ensure the store is properly indexed by Google from day one.Training & Handover: Comprehensive training sessions for your team on product management, order processing, and content updates.Warranty: $\text{30}$ days of post-launch technical support to smooth out any teething issues.ConclusionYour investment of $\text{KSh 185,000}$ secures a sophisticated, performance-driven online store that overcomes the traditional hurdles of selling furniture and decor online in Kenya.
