Project Summary

This case study outlines the process of designing and developing an e-commerce fashion store using the Bailly WooCommerce WordPress Theme and Elementor Page Builder. The website was created to simulate a professional fashion shop for portfolio demonstration purposes, with the goal of showing how to build a scalable, high-performance WooCommerce site with zero coding and full customization options.


Project Goals

  • Build a clean, modern online store with a luxury fashion aesthetic

  • Use Elementor for flexible drag-and-drop page design

  • Showcase collections like jewelry, bags, and clothing

  • Ensure a smooth mobile experience and fast load times

  • Set up a working checkout system with Stripe integration

  • Present the project as a real-world client solution


Tools & Stack

  • WordPress (v6.x)

  • Bailly Theme (ThemeForest)

  • Elementor Pro

  • WooCommerce

  • WP Rocket (Speed Optimization)

  • Rank Math SEO

  • Safe SVG

  • Stripe Payment Gateway

  • MailPoet (Newsletter)


Design & Theme Customization

After installing WordPress and the Bailly theme, I imported one of the default fashion store demos that featured a clean grid layout, sticky header, and bold typography. From there, I customized the following:

  • Replaced demo logo with a custom-designed brand identity

  • Modified the homepage hero slider to feature branded promotional content

  • Changed global fonts to Playfair Display and Open Sans for a high-end feel

  • Updated the color scheme to black, ivory, and soft gold

  • Added custom Elementor sections for testimonials, newsletter signup, and Instagram feed

The Theme Options panel made it easy to adjust these site-wide settings without editing code, allowing for fast iteration and visual consistency.


WooCommerce Store Setup

WooCommerce was configured for a typical small fashion business:

  • Currency: USD

  • Products: 18 sample items across 4 categories (Rings, Bags, Necklaces, Apparel)

  • Product attributes: Size, color, material

  • Variable products (e.g., t-shirts with multiple sizes and colors)

  • Stripe payment gateway and test transactions enabled

  • Shipping rules set for US and international flat rate

  • Custom “Thank You” page after checkout

Product pages included:

  • Image gallery with zoom

  • Tabbed sections for description, shipping, and reviews

  • Related products carousel

  • Wishlist and “quick view” functionality


Mobile Optimization

Special attention was given to mobile layout and responsiveness:

  • Navigation adapted to hamburger menu

  • Product filters hidden in collapsible panels

  • Tap-friendly buttons and checkout form fields

  • Elementor responsive controls used to tweak typography and spacing across devices


Performance & SEO

  • Image optimization using WebP format

  • Minified CSS/JS and enabled caching with WP Rocket

  • Lazy load enabled for images

  • Installed and configured Rank Math SEO:

    • Custom titles and meta descriptions for all product pages

    • Product schema markup for Google Rich Results

    • XML sitemap generated and submitted via Google Search Console


Results (Simulated Metrics)

  • PageSpeed Insights Score:

    • Desktop: 94

    • Mobile: 89

  • Average load time: 1.8 seconds

  • Simulated bounce rate: Below 30%

  • Mobile traffic share: Over 70% of total visitors

  • Cart abandonment reduced by approximately 10% with email reminders


Why Bailly Was the Right Choice

  • Clean, flexible design demos that required minimal layout changes

  • Seamless integration with Elementor and WooCommerce

  • Advanced product filtering, Ajax cart, and built-in quick view

  • Optimized for speed and mobile usability

  • User-friendly Theme Options for font and color customization without code



Key Takeaways

This project demonstrated how a premium WooCommerce theme like Bailly can streamline development while still providing a professional, elegant result. Combined with Elementor and essential plugins, the store was built with performance, usability, and scalability in mind—perfect for small to mid-sized fashion brands looking to sell online.
