By the way of example, we will show you a project we made for a client.

We developed a customization project for Cartridges Direct with the implementation of a simple configurator named ”Find your cartridge in 3 steps”. It is a form of 3 inputs to choose your printer brand, family and model and it will give you the right cartridges for that printer.

A customization project is the one we developed for Cartridges Direct.

It is a customized template, in the header of the home page, that allows customers to reduce their search time and have an easy solution for what they’re looking for.
