Challenge

The challenge was to migrate the functionality from an old desktop website into a new React-based web application written from scratch. The main focus was to make the website responsive so that it could be viewed properly on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. Along with responsiveness, we should have made the website multilingual and SEO friendly. 

Development process

By the time we joined, the work had already been in progress for over a year. The main technological stack was written in React, Redux, and Redux-Thunk. 

For unit and integration testing, we decided to use a Jest JavaScript testing framework. 

For E2E and SEO testing, we used a Jest-Puppeteer preset.

Result

We obtained a modern React-based website with a scalable prices module. Besides, we performed numerous corrections and code optimization work in the existing functionality. We provided additional SEO optimization and improved the internationalization.

As a result, the client managed to migrate all their stores to the new React web application.
