Modern Figma-to-Next.js E-Commerce Rebuild with FastAPI & Stripe

My client approached me with a complete Figma design and a clear goal: migrate their outdated WordPress store into a modern, scalable, and visually appealing e-commerce platform. The brand was growing, but the old site’s slow performance, inconsistent UI, and limited customization held them back.

Using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, FastAPI, and Stripe, I rebuilt their entire online experience from the ground up—turning static design concepts into a polished, conversion-optimized e-commerce product.

Outdated WordPress site with poor UI/UX and slow loading times.

Limited customization, making updates and design alignment difficult.

Fragmented backend logic, leading to inconsistent performance.

Inefficient checkout experience, causing drop-offs.

Need for a modern, reliable, and scalable architecture aligned with the new Figma designs.

I translated the Figma designs into a responsive UI using:

The result was a modern, smooth, and fully responsive interface that matched the client’s new brand vision exactly.

To replace the limitations of WordPress plugins, I built a scalable backend using:

FastAPI for high performance

Modular architecture for future features

This gave the client full control without the bloat of their previous system.

I implemented:

Webhook handling for order confirmation

This resulted in a seamless and reliable checkout experience that significantly improved conversion flow.

The platform includes:

Product pages with dynamic content

Cart and checkout flow

Real-time inventory updates

User-friendly category navigation

Mobile-optimized shopping experience

Every element focused on performance and simplicity.

The final product brought the client’s Figma vision to life as a fully functional, modern web application. The site transitioned from a slow, outdated WordPress build to a lightweight, scalable, and conversion-driven e-commerce platform

✔ 60% faster page load speed compared to the previous WordPress site

✔ Fully responsive, modern UI aligning perfectly with the Figma design

✔ Scalable backend built on FastAPI ready for future product expansion

✔ Improved user engagement & reduced bounce rate thanks to an optimized layout

This project successfully elevated the brand's online presence, improved overall performance, and provided the client with a modern, maintainable infrastructure that supports growth. The new site not only reflects their identity more accurately but also enhances user trust and increases sales potential.
