The Candelabra project is a prime example of how a small new business can transform its handmade products into a powerful digital presence. The client’s goal was to create an online store (e-shop) that would showcase the aesthetic and quality of handmade candles and decorative items, emphasizing a “dreamy, Disney” feeling. The aim was to design a fairy-tale shopping experience that perfectly matched the uniqueness of the products.

The main creative challenge in UI/UX design was to capture the magic, delicacy, and dreamlike character of Candelabra’s products. Instead of a simple, cold minimalist design, we chose a palette dominated by pastel shades (such as pink and lilac) and romantic fonts. We created a digital environment that evokes a fairy-tale atmosphere, highlighting the kawaii (cute) elements of the products and strengthening the emotional connection with the user.

For the implementation, we chose our own proprietary platform, Elevate_Commerce. This decision was strategic, as it gave us full flexibility in design and the ability to tailor the customer journey precisely to the client’s “dreamy” aesthetic. Elevate_Commerce is designed to offer easy management for the client, allowing them to upload new products, manage stock and orders without technical expertise, while ensuring high loading speeds and reliable performance.

Beyond the impressive aesthetics, the platform was equipped with powerful commercial tools. Thanks to Elevate_Commerce’s discount policy features, the client gained the ability to instantly create complex promotion scenarios, such as quantity-based discounts, category-specific coupons, or Buy X Get Y Free offers—critical tools for attracting and retaining early customers. This flexibility in promotions allows Candelabra to be competitive from day one.

Additionally, we developed the necessary integration with the client’s courier service. This feature automates the creation of shipping vouchers (AWB) immediately after an order is completed, eliminating the need for manual data entry and drastically reducing order fulfillment time. Automating logistics—especially for a small business with delicate handmade products—was key to ensuring fast and secure delivery to customers.

The delivery of the Candelabra e-shop demonstrates our ability to create complete digital solutions that are not only technically excellent but also perfectly aligned with the client’s aesthetic identity and vision. By using Elevate_Commerce, we were able to deliver a custom-made solution that brings the brand’s unique, fairy-tale candles to a wider audience in the most efficient and visually captivating way possible.
