You may wonder, why Sylius? Is it better than other e-commerce frameworks? Here is the list of the features that we like in this solution:
But how does the Soft Gorilla Sylius e-commerce development process look like?
We carried out many e-commerce projects using Sylius. Shops built with this e-commerce platform can be highly customized thanks to the modular architecture of Symfony framework and Sylius components. The Sylius e-commerce development project consists of several processes.
All our projects start from intense workshops. A customer and our experts (designers, developers, consultants) participate in the series of meetings during which we try to understand the vision of a certain company. We discuss customer’s requirements and the potential e-commerce solutions to various challenges. Taking all the necessary time, to learn as much as we can about customer’s expectations allows us to make a client’s vision a reality.
We encourage our customers to engage in the entire development process from the first workshop. To enable them to do so, we leverage various tools that improve communication between development team and customer. This way, a client can be regularly updated about the progress and challenges on the project, and share feedback.
Once customer and development team agree on the details, the official list of requirements is created and the entire development is planned step by step (including tasks, deadlines and future meetings). It is quite important. The specific plan allows evaluation of the Sylius shop development process and ensuring its efficiency.
Close collaboration with customers during the design and development stages is essential for the project success. Each design has to be approved by the client. We really want to make sure, that the online store we built in Sylius is unique and works exactly as it should.
