CHALLENGES FACED
Growing across two countries
meant outgrowing the defaults.
As Gait scaled, its Magento storefront needed to handle localization, performance, and integration complexity all at once.
01
Performance for a heavy UI
A visually rich, luxury-focused UI with high-resolution images and interactive elements significantly impacted load speed, especially on product detail pages.
02
Multi-store & localization
Managing multiple store views with different languages, currencies, and region-specific configurations while keeping EN/AR (RTL) layouts consistent.
03
Media-heavy page performance
High-quality images and rich UI elements expected on a luxury platform made balancing visual experience with speed a constant challenge.
04
Checkout validation complexity
Additional checkout validations were difficult to implement due to Magento’s KnockoutJS-based frontend and asynchronous APIs.
05
Custom theme implementation
Translating pixel-perfect design files into a fully responsive frontend across devices required significant additional effort.
06
Third-party integration conflicts
Multiple third-party services — payment gateways, analytics tools — created compatibility and conflict issues across modules.
