The result

Anne Hadeka, CEO Brass Butterfly

"Keeping up with the internet can be overwhelming. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. I felt my website was falling behind. Styla’s frontend gave my business the ability to jump into the future. It was a little scary to make changes but Styla’s support and assistance helped me every step of the way. They are truly outstanding with 'headless' technology."

Besides the performance improvement, Anne wanted to attract a younger audience with a website relaunch. Her new store appears now in a clear design and the product detail pages have enough space for a detailed description of her hand-made vases. In addition, the new online store offers various filter functions: whether by price, bestseller or new products. The visitor can browse at will.

Anne is also thrilled with Styla's Experience Manager. Maintaining and updating product detail or category pages is a breeze thanks to the intuitive drag&drop editor. Anne also has and needs no IT or developer skills. With Styla Frontend Anne is in control of her new online store.
