The Brief

A growing catalogue on a slow foundation

Der Foto Shop sells photography hardware and accessories to enthusiasts and professionals. A growing product range, multiple subcategories and varied price points required a shop system that scales without sacrificing speed or usability.

The existing solution was technically outdated, difficult to manage and increasingly slow - a real problem in a market where photography buyers compare products across multiple sites and a sluggish page loses the sale before it starts.

The brief: a clean, fast WooCommerce installation with a logical category structure, attribute-based product filters and a shopping experience that works as well on mobile as on desktop - with every product marked up for Google Shopping from day one.

A complete shop migration and rebuild - from category architecture and product filters to performance optimisation and structured data across the full catalogue.

WooCommerce Migration

Clean migration to an optimised WooCommerce installation. Product data import, URL architecture planning and category restructuring handled in full - no data loss, no broken links.

8-Category Taxonomy

Logical category and subcategory structure for cameras, lenses, lighting, bags, tripods and accessories - designed for usability, crawlability and intuitive navigation on every device.

Product Filter System

Attribute-based filters for brand, price range and key technical specifications - helping photography buyers find the right product faster, without endless scrolling.

Performance Optimisation

Image compression, lazy loading and caching configuration applied across the full product catalogue - fast page loads on mobile and desktop, even with 50+ products and large imagery.

Product SEO & Schema

Unique title tags and meta descriptions per product. Product schema with pricing, availability and brand data on every page - enabling Google Shopping compatibility and richer SERP snippets.

Mobile Shopping Experience

Responsive layout optimised for mobile browsing and checkout - from product discovery and filter use through to purchase confirmation. Consistent across all screen sizes.

Our old shop was a constant headache. The new WooCommerce site is fast, easy to manage and actually brings us traffic we didn't have before.
