Objectives & Goals
We aimed to bring the client’s vision to life by meticulously following the provided UI/UX design. Every detail, from typography to spacing, was carefully crafted to match the client’s aesthetic.
Responsive Design
The website was designed to be fully responsive, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices—whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, or desktop.
Performance Optimization:
With a focus on speed and user experience, we optimized the website to load in milliseconds, even with a large number of high-quality images on every page.
Security & Reliability:
We implemented robust security measures to protect the website from bots, viruses, and other threats. Additionally, we ensured the server runs smoothly for uninterrupted performance.
Challenges
Handling High-Resolution Images:
The website features a large number of high-quality images, which typically slow down performance. Through advanced optimization techniques like image compression, lazy loading, and efficient caching, we achieved lightning-fast load times without compromising on visual quality.
Customizing Divi Builder:
The client’s design required extensive customization beyond Divi Builder’s default widgets. We wrote custom PHP, JavaScript, and CSS to tailor every element, ensuring the final result matched the design perfectly.
Security Threats & Attacks:
The website faced multiple security challenges, including bot attacks and phishing attempts aimed at hacking both the website and Lolo’s Google accounts. We successfully recovered from these attacks and implemented additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and advanced firewalls, to prevent future incidents.
