Launching Barbara Fiore Editora: An ExpressionEngine Ecommerce Journey

ExpressionEngine Expertise: Powering Barbara Fiore Editora's Ecommerce Success with Cartthrob

We're excited to announce the launch of a brand new online bookstore for Barbara Fiore Editora, a publisher with a passion for art, design, and beautiful books. This project was a fantastic opportunity to flex our ExpressionEngine muscles and collaborate with a client across borders.

The Challenge

Barbara Fiore Editora had a vision for a modern, user-friendly online store to showcase their unique collection of books. Their existing website, built on an older version of ExpressionEngine with outdated ecommerce functionality, needed a complete overhaul to meet their needs and ambitions.

Our Solution

We partnered with Barbara Fiore Editora to deliver a comprehensive website redesign and development project, which included:

  • ExpressionEngine Upgrade: Migrating their site from ExpressionEngine 2 to the latest version 7 Pro, taking advantage of its enhanced features and improved performance.
  • Ecommerce Overhaul: Replacing the legacy Store module with the robust and flexible Cartthrob ecommerce platform, providing a seamless online shopping experience.
  • Content and Product Migration: Carefully migrating all existing content and product data to the new platform, ensuring a smooth transition and no data loss.
  • Design and Development: Crafting a fresh, modern design that reflects Barbara Fiore Editora's unique brand identity and provides an intuitive user experience.

The Result

The new Barbara Fiore Editora website is a beautiful and functional online bookstore that truly captures the essence of their brand. It offers:

  • A user-friendly shopping experience: Customers can easily browse, search, and purchase books with a streamlined checkout process.
  • Enhanced performance and security: The upgraded platform provides faster loading times and improved security for a seamless and safe online experience.
  • A flexible and scalable solution: The new website is built on a robust foundation, allowing for future growth and expansion.

Beyond the Code

This project was more than just a technical challenge. It was an opportunity to collaborate with a passionate team in Spain, learn about their unique publishing approach, and even brush up on our Spanish!
