ACI Computers came to us needing more than a basic website — as a computer hardware retailer, they needed an online store that could handle a large, frequently-changing product catalog alongside real inventory management. Here's how we approached the project. See the finished result in our portfolio.
The Challenge
Hardware retail has specific e-commerce requirements: products with detailed technical specifications, stock levels that change constantly, and customers who often compare specs before buying. A generic template store wasn't going to cut it — the site needed to make technical comparison easy while keeping checkout simple.
Our Approach
We built the store on WordPress with WooCommerce, giving ACI Computers full control over their product catalog without needing a developer for every update. Key parts of the build included:
- Structured product pages with clear technical specifications
- Inventory management tied directly to stock availability
- A streamlined online ordering and checkout flow
- A backend the client's team could manage independently after launch
Why WooCommerce for This Project
For a catalog of this size with frequent updates, WooCommerce gave the right balance of flexibility and ease of ongoing management — the client didn't need to depend on us for every product addition or price change after launch.
The Outcome
ACI Computers now runs a self-manageable online store where inventory, pricing, and new products can be updated internally, with a checkout experience built specifically around how hardware buyers actually shop and compare before purchasing.
