Now let’s get started with what made Ooka choose AEM for eCommerce
Ooka, a thriving hub for hookah enthusiasts already had a sturdy eCommerce platform. However, as they scaled, they realized there was more to be done to strengthen their online presence. They wanted to streamline marketing and create stand out customer experiences. After all, it’s the customer experience that serves as the core force binding customers and brands together.
With this vision, Ooka turned to explore the powerhouse of Adobe Experience Cloud solutions. The strategic goal was not only to fortify Ooka’s value proposition but also to propel substantial growth and achieve scalability in its operations.
To make this happen, Ooka joined forces with Codilar, a seasoned expert in digital experiences and Adobe Experience Cloud Solutions. Codilar’s renowned proficiency in integrating advanced technologies and navigating the complexities of top-notch eCommerce brands made them the ideal companion for Ooka’s aspirations.
Here’s where the magic really happens: our team of Adobe-certified experts could foresee the golden opportunity to enhance Ooka’s user interface with Adobe Experience Manager implementation. Thanks to AEM’s flexible architecture, we seamlessly integrated it with Ooka’s Adobe Commerce platform, giving their CMS pages a sleek facelift.
So far, we’ve gracefully transitioned Ooka’s Home and Categories pages onto AEM. While the rest of the pages still reside on Magento, the grand plan is underway. Soon, the entire Ooka site will be powered by AEM, giving a complete makeover to their online presence.
Here are the positive changes we made to Ooka’s site using AEM:
- Parallax Effect: Our AEM experts infused a dynamic 3D immersive effect to Ooka’s web pages using AEM. In this enhancement, images and texts were separated into layers that moved at varying speeds, resulting in a modern and stylish website. Now, users can scroll through the webpage and interact with different parts, enhancing their experience and allowing them to explore the product in detail.
- Headless AEM: Headless CMS is the evolving trend that’s going to shape websites in the near future. For Ooka, our focus was on building a powerful eCommerce solution that blends the best of both worlds, Magento and Adobe Experience Manager. This means Magento handles the business side behind the scenes, while AEM’s headless CMS manages the look and feel of Ooka’s website, promoting experience-driven commerce.
- Multilingual Website: AEM’s built-in Multi Site Manager makes it easy to translate the site into different languages. Our experts employed this feature to transform Ooka’s site into a multilingual platform. Now, Ooka can reach a wider audience, sharing its stories without language barriers. The result? visitors can experience seamless language switches, getting localized content tailored to their preferences and regions.
