Work requested/performed to meet new client requirements

1. Replace old theme with new one which uses Elementor page builder for easy clients edit and updates to the content. It should be responsive, simple with clean lines and uncluttered layout.

2. Replace old logo graphics with new text based logo. Also converted to SVG format for quick loading and infinite scaling (when website is zoomed it, the logo remains crispy clean, no blurred image anymore).

3. Create visually appealing and easy to navigate product categories in the top navigation menu. Added thumbs linked directly to product category pages in the dropdown menu under Categories.

4. Add easy to use and quick loading front page slider without complicated animation effects. Used Elementor built-in banner slider. Doesn’t require additional plugins to install therefore keeping page weight small, quicker to load.

5. Client requested an ability for customers to create bundles from cards. She sells two type of card bundles 5-pcs and 8-pcs. Customer selects any card from provided variety and can any anytime change selection from one card to a different one. Even After placing card bundle into cart customer can change the selection of cards in the bundle. Bundle should allow for duplicate card selection.

6. Client needed to have some unique products (original art works) which come in framed and unframed versions but only have a single stock quantity to be able to sell without overselling. WooCommerce Shared Variation Inventory was implemented which is an inventory management system that allows a group of variations to share a single quantity.

7. Custom shipping rates calculation improvement. Added ability to create custom shipping rules based on provided destination, weight, volume, or item count. Even by all these at the same time; shipping classes, tags and categories; free and flat-rate shipping.

8. Replace PayPal payment gateway with Stripe.

9. Improve on email deliverability by using SMTP service for all email related tasks both inbound and outbound.

10. Store security improvement. Add ability to rate limit the WooCommerce checkout to prevent card attacks. This mitigates chances of overpowering the site with rapid fake card charges. When enabled, each IP address can only make as many attempts at payment as specified. Logging capability is also provided.

11. Website overall security improvements. Added configurable firewall and malware/virus scanner to prevent website hack and malware/virus infection.
