I decided to participate in the @GiveItAGlow challenge by @Base44 on Contra with a project focused on giving a real local business the digital presence it deserves.

For this challenge, I chose Strafrutta, a fresh fruit business that sells high-quality products directly to customers.

The before: Their website didn’t communicate the quality, freshness, or green identity of the brand. The homepage mainly showed the location, with little storytelling or emotional connection. The shop experience felt outdated, difficult to use, and had a poor UX that created friction during the buying process.

The after: I redesigned the entire experience into a modern, vibrant, and user-friendly platform.

The homepage combines Base44’s clean and structured design language with interactive 3D elements, bringing fruit products to life while maintaining excellent responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile. I introduced warmer colors, premium product photography, and a more welcoming visual identity to reflect the quality of Strafrutta’s products.

The shop experience was rebuilt with a focus on usability, allowing customers to easily browse products, use filters, and complete their purchase journey smoothly.

But the goal wasn’t only a better-looking website — it was creating a tool that helps the business operate better.

I added: 🍌 AI chatbot assistant “Mimmo” A lead-generation assistant that collects customer requests, understands their needs, and sends qualified messages directly to the admin team for follow-up.

📦 Admin management system A dedicated dashboard where Strafrutta can:

Manage orders

Track customer requests from the chatbot

Update, add, or remove products

Manage stock availability

⭐ Digital loyalty card Customers can track their purchases, monitor their progress, and see how close they are to unlocking their next reward.

The result is a platform that connects customers directly with Strafrutta while giving the business modern tools for sales, customer support, inventory management, and retention.

The main pages include:

Home

Shop

Loyalty program

Order management

Stock management

Lead management from the AI chatbot

The project is live: https://strafrutta.base44.app/

I hope this challenge goes well because my next step would be presenting this solution directly to Strafrutta and helping them bring this experience into their real business.

Before & after screenshots and platform walkthrough included.

Great transformation. The redesign is strong, but the real value is in the operational layer, chatbot, stock management, orders, and loyalty all working together. Really solid project 👏. Good luck
