Nail Code

Nail Code is an e-commerce website specializing in professional nail products, including gel polishes, nail care, and salon accessories.

The project focused on upgrading the platform from PrestaShop 1.6 to PrestaShop 9.0 while refreshing the overall user experience. Rather than creating an entirely new visual identity, the goal was to modernize the existing website by improving its structure, usability, and responsiveness while preserving the brand's familiar look and feel.

The website supports German and English, along with four currencies (AED, EUR, GBP, and USD) to serve customers across multiple international markets.

The existing website had been running on an older version of PrestaShop, making it increasingly difficult to maintain and extend with modern features.

The client wanted to retain key elements of the original website—including its color palette, homepage slider, and overall visual identity—while introducing a cleaner, more contemporary shopping experience.

Key objectives included:

• Upgrade from PrestaShop 1.6 to 9.0
• Preserve the existing brand identity
• Improve navigation and product discovery
• Fully redesign the responsive experience
• Support multilingual and multi-currency shopping

The challenge was to modernize the website without making it feel unfamiliar to returning customers.

Instead of redesigning everything from scratch, we adopted an "It's the same brand, but better" approach. The layout was carefully refined to improve clarity, spacing, and usability while maintaining the recognizable visual style that existing customers were already familiar with.

A new full-width navigation system was designed to provide a more flexible browsing experience. The mega menu supports promotional images alongside category links, allowing the client to expand their merchandising strategy in the future, while still working perfectly without images.

The entire website was redesigned for both desktop and mobile devices to provide a consistent shopping experience across all screen sizes.

Modern Full-Width Mega Menu

A custom navigation system was developed using BC Menu, featuring a full-width dropdown layout with optional promotional images and improved category organization.

Flexible Product Sections

Using BC Multi Blocs, we extended the module with additional merchandising features.

The client can:

• Select products directly from categories
• Display 4 or 8 products
• Choose between grid or slider layouts
• Enable full-width or contained sections
• Combine product collections with promotional banners

This provides much greater flexibility when building landing pages and promotional campaigns without requiring additional development.

Enhanced Product Cards

Product cards include a hover effect that automatically displays the product's second image, allowing customers to preview additional product views without opening the product page.

Multi-language & Multi-currency

The website supports: German, English, AED, EUR, GBP, USD making it suitable for international customers.

The migration to PrestaShop 9.0 provides Nail Code with a faster, more maintainable platform while preserving the visual identity that customers already recognize.

Instead of reinventing the brand, the project focused on refining every aspect of the shopping experience—from navigation and product presentation to responsive layouts and homepage flexibility.

The result is a modern e-commerce website that feels familiar to existing customers while providing a stronger foundation for future growth.
