It’s been quite a while since the last time we released one of these case studies.
However, when developer Tim Walpole contacted us to showcase his new Snipcart integration, we thought: “Woah, this is cool, gotta do something with this!”
Tim went down the JAMstack road and used tools we’ve been writing about to build a neat Gatsby progressive web app (PWA) for his client INGMARSON.
He was kind enough to give us his take on this modern way of building websites and how Snipcart fits into all of this.
It was a pretty exciting exchange, so let’s see what he had to say!
The developer in question
Tim Walpole began his career 21 years ago as an IT consultant for ICL (and then Fujitsu). He then spent time working in Seattle at Microsoft, in Luxembourg at the European Commission, as well as for HP. He now works for BJSS as a hands-on cognitive architect.
He has a passion for system integrations and is always looking for innovative ways to connect systems together. After joining BJSS, Tim became “head of mobile”, where he has refined his passion for design, development and delivery of quality mobile applications.
Since then, chatbots, artificial intelligence and machine learning have sparked Tim’s interest, and he has focused his attention on this exciting area. As a cognitive architect, he designs complex, vendor-agnostic, multi-lingual, cloud-based chatbot solutions for a range of clients.
Out of his professional activities, he’s also the father of two grown-up daughters, enjoys choral singing, and is currently working on renovating his 1850’s property.
The client
INGMARSON is a high quality, ethically sourced clothing line boasting neat designs. It was created by Robert Ingemarsson, a Swedish fashion designer with a clear vision for ethical and sustainable products. He’s focused on using recycled & organic materials.
Just like the clothes he crafts, Robert is very particular about his website’s design. He’s very aware that INGMARSON’s branding is reflected not only in his fashion designs but also in the website’s. Everything has to be perfect, starting with the user experience—including loading speed.
He’s now looking to grow the INGMARSON brand slowly and minimize costs wherever possible. As the business grows, the e-commerce solution should be able to grow and scale without incurring massive costs.
