The project started as optimization of a divi website. However, there were a lot of videos and the website format prevented good speeds with Divi. So the customer had someone design elementor templates and we switched to Elementor+woocommerce.
The customerโs existing eCommerce site was built on Divi and had become heavy and slow, affecting performance and user experience. Additionally, the siteโs layout required a modern revamp to improve usability and visual appeal. Following a web designerโs recommendation, the decision was made to switch from Divi to Elementor Pro to enable more flexible and efficient template design and implementation.
All site templates were implemented in WordPress/WooCommerce using Elementor Pro, based on the designs provided by the customer. The videos, which were previously self-hosted, were migrated to Vimeo. A higher-tier Vimeo package was proposed and adopted to enable adaptive streaming, allowing different video resolutions to be served based on the visitorโs device type for optimal performance and user experience.
The migration to Elementor Pro significantly improved site performance and responsiveness. The new templates enhanced the visual appeal and usability of the eCommerce site. Videos hosted on Vimeo now load faster and play smoothly across all devices, with adaptive resolutions ensuring an optimal viewing experience. Overall, the site became more efficient, user-friendly, and scalable for future updates.
