The Cover Guy Project Highlights

Migrating from a Custom Platform to Shopify Plus

BlueBolt Solutions began by conducting a thorough audit of The Cover Guy's existing platform, identifying all the critical data and functionality that needed to be preserved and enhanced. They then mapped out a strategy.

Creative Design and UX Strategy

Leveraging Shopify Plus's capabilities to improve site speed, reliability, and overall performance, BlueBolt Solutions incorporated the latest design trends and best practices to design a modern, visually appealing website that was intuitive and user-friendly.

WCAG Compliance and Admin Improvements

Shopify uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as its guiding principle to ensure its content and features are accessible, so the BlueBolt adhered to the guidelines during their development.

The Custom Cover Configurator

One of the standout features of the new platform was the custom cover configurator developed by BlueBolt Solutions. This innovative tool allowed customers to design their own hot tub covers with ease through a user-friendly interface that guided them through each step of the customization process.

The Cover Guy’s previous website design had grown outdated. The once cutting-edge look and feel were no longer meeting the expectations of modern consumers. The design failed to reflect the premium quality of The Cover Guy’s products, which was a significant issue for a brand built on excellence. Accessibility was another critical issue. The existing platform did not meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), making it difficult for users with disabilities to navigate and use the site. The need for a fully accessible website became a pressing concern. Their existing custom platform had a complex and cumbersome admin interface. Routine tasks such as updating product information, managing orders, and processing customer inquiries were inefficient and error-prone. The administrative burden was taking valuable time away from strategic growth initiatives. Finally, the custom cover configurator, a key feature of The Cover Guy’s offering, was difficult for customers to use. Its complexity was leading to a lower conversion rate as customers struggled to design and purchase their ideal hot tub covers.
