WHAT WE DID
Lift Supports Depot contacted our team when they already had an established e-commerce website and used a search engine from Nextopia. Usually, web links change after migrating from one on-site search engine to another. However, the store management wanted to save some of the custom search pages created by the previous search provider. It was important because these URLs were used for navigation in the store, sent in previous email campaigns, and indexed by Google, etc. We inherited these links and integrated them into our app code, as a result, they work fast and well.
The store has a unique case of using four different types of search within the website. By default, the Convermax search engine works in sync with vehicle selection and applies filters to all products. In the case of Life Supports Depot, all four variations of search work separately and have different groups of products applied to each type.
Search by keywords:
Search by Year-Make-Model:
Search by Part Number:
The product grid is shown as a table, which is also an unusual design.
Search by Size:
The store has landing pages for every "Make". These pages show products for pre-selected Make options. Shoppers can further narrow down results by choosing the vehicle’s Year and Model. All products in the results are grouped by Category, e.g. "Trunk", "Hood", etc.
