Ceramika

Tools: Laravel

Project Overview

Ceramika is a full e-commerce platform for a Spanish tile brand selling into the Nigerian market. The site lets customers browse porcelain and ceramic collections, estimate coverage with a built-in tile calculator, add products by square metre, and place orders that continue on WhatsApp with the showroom.
Alongside the storefront, an admin panel covers catalogue management, stock, orders, staff roles, showrooms, settings, and reports so the business can run day-to-day operations from one place.

My role & key contributions

I built the platform end to end storefront (figma design provided by client), pricing logic, checkout flow, and the admin system the client uses to manage the business.

Key contributions:

Custom storefront for tiles and accessories (shop, search, product pages, cart, checkout)
Square-metre pricing with VAT, coverage, and carton estimates via a tile calculator
WhatsApp-first checkout: orders saved as pending, then handed off to the showroom
Stock tracking by sqm with low-stock / preorder states
Admin dashboard for products, categories, orders, showrooms, enquiries, and settings
Role-based access (Super Admin, Staff) with permissions
Spreadsheet catalogue import (matrix + prices) aligned to the client’s product data
Reports: revenue, orders by status, product views, and admin activity
Contact / enquiry flow with optional reCAPTCHA and email notifications
Responsive UI across mobile, tablet, and desktop

Problem & Solution

Problem

Tile retail in this market often mixes offline showrooms with messy catalogue files and manual order follow-up. Customers struggle to estimate how much tile they need, and staff juggle pricing, stock, and WhatsApp chats without a single system of record.

Solution

Ceramika gives customers a clear path from browse → calculate → order, with pricing in sqm and WhatsApp confirmation. Staff get a structured admin for catalogue, stock, order status, and reporting — so sales and inventory stay aligned without replacing the showroom relationship customers already trust.
