Japanese cuisine website, the most creative sushi

We developed the website irorisushi.com—a sophisticated online platform for sushi and rolls delivery. The project involved complex technical solutions, highlighting that such development is far from simple.

Key Features of the Project:

  • Responsive Design: The website is fully responsive, utilizing flexible grid systems and media queries for optimal display on various devices and screen sizes. This required extensive testing and optimization of the layout to ensure consistency across platforms.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Implemented intuitive navigation with AJAX loading for instant content updates without page reloads. This demanded advanced JavaScript functions and the setup of asynchronous server communication.

  • Online Ordering and Payment: Integrated multiple payment systems to ensure secure transactions and compliance with international PCI DSS standards. Setting up secure communication protocols and data encryption was a critical aspect.

  • Order Management System: Developed a custom backend system to automate order processing, including real-time inventory management, order status tracking, and customer notifications. This required complex server-side logic and database management.

  • SEO Optimization: Advanced SEO techniques were implemented, including structured data (Schema.org), page load speed optimization, and content adaptation for target key queries. This improved search engine visibility and attracted organic traffic.

  • Integration with Delivery Services: Established API integrations with logistics services to automate the delivery process, which required reliable data exchange mechanisms and error handling.

Technologies Used:

  • E-commerce Platform and CMS: Built using Squarespace Commerce, but programmers had to implement custom code injections and workarounds due to platform limitations.

  • Custom Coding: Extensive use of JavaScript (ES6+), jQuery, and JSON for dynamic content updates and server interactions without page reloads.

  • CSS Preprocessors: Employed SASS for modular and maintainable styling, accelerating development and simplifying future design changes.

  • Databases: Configured and optimized database interactions to ensure fast query processing and reliable storage of orders and customer information.

  • Security: Implemented SSL certificates and other security protocols to protect user data and build customer trust.

Challenges and Solutions:

  • Squarespace Platform Limitations: The platform has functional constraints. Our programmers developed additional modules and utilized APIs to extend site capabilities and meet all client requirements.

  • Performance Optimization: High-quality images of dishes required load optimization. Techniques like lazy loading and image compression without quality loss were employed.

  • Multitasking: Simultaneous work on frontend and backend demanded coordinated teamwork and the use of version control systems (Git) for codebase management.

Results:

  • Increased online visibility and customer engagement.
  • Improved efficiency in order processing and delivery.
  • Strengthened the Irori Sushi brand presence online.

Conclusion:

Developing such a functional and reliable website is a complex process requiring professionalism and technical expertise. Our programmers put significant effort into overcoming all technical challenges to deliver a product that exceeds expectations.
