A sustainable shopping platform with an intuitive user experience that encourages eco-conscious purchasing decisions
EcoShop approached Prakrut with a mission to create an e-commerce platform that would not only sell eco-friendly products but also educate consumers about sustainable choices and their environmental impact. The client wanted a platform that would make sustainable shopping accessible, informative, and enjoyable for everyone.
Our challenge was to develop both a responsive website and mobile application that would showcase eco-friendly products while transparently communicating their environmental benefits, ethical sourcing, and sustainability credentials. The platform needed to inspire and empower consumers to make choices aligned with their values.
We conducted extensive research on the eco-friendly product market, analyzing competitors and identifying gaps in existing platforms. Our findings revealed that consumers needed more transparency about product sustainability credentials.
Through surveys and interviews with eco-conscious consumers, we gained insights into their shopping habits, pain points, and decision-making factors. Many users expressed frustration with the lack of clear information about product sustainability.
We collaborated with environmental experts to develop a transparent rating system for product sustainability. This framework became the foundation for how products would be categorized and presented to users.
We conducted usability tests with prototype mobile interfaces to optimize the shopping experience for on-the-go users who often make quick purchasing decisions without compromising on their ecological values.
Each product displays a comprehensive sustainability rating based on materials, manufacturing process, packaging, and shipping methods, helping users make informed choices.
Users can filter products based on specific environmental concerns (plastic-free, carbon-neutral, vegan, etc.) to align shopping with their personal sustainability priorities.
A personalized dashboard shows users the positive environmental impact of their purchases, including resources saved and carbon emissions reduced.
Our development process for the EcoShop platform was guided by sustainability principles at every stage. We employed cutting-edge techniques while minimizing environmental impact.
We implemented a two-week sprint cycle with regular client workshops to ensure the platform evolved in alignment with business goals and user needs. This approach allowed for continuous feedback and refinement throughout the development process.
We built the platform as a Progressive Web App to provide a seamless experience across all devices while reducing the environmental footprint associated with native app downloads and ensuring accessibility for all users.
We optimized code efficiency and server resources to minimize the platform's carbon footprint. This included implementing efficient caching strategies, optimizing image delivery, and choosing green hosting solutions.
We developed a robust API layer that enabled seamless integration with inventory management systems, carbon footprint calculators, and ethical certification databases, ensuring all sustainability data remained accurate and up-to-date.
Creating a system to gather, verify, and display sustainability credentials from multiple sources and certification bodies presented significant integration challenges.
Balancing rich visual content showcasing eco-friendly products with optimal page load times required sophisticated image optimization and lazy loading techniques.
Developing an accurate algorithm to calculate and display the environmental impact of each purchase required complex data analysis and integration with carbon footprint databases.
We developed a custom API that aggregates sustainability data from multiple certification authorities, creating a standardized system for displaying eco-credentials across all products.
We translated complex environmental impact data into easy-to-understand visual indicators that help users quickly assess product sustainability without overwhelming them with technical details.
We seamlessly integrated educational content about sustainability practices throughout the shopping journey, helping users understand the importance of their eco-friendly choices.
We implemented a system that allows users to choose more sustainable shipping options, consolidate orders, or select carbon offset programs at checkout.
