Feelunique-Europe's largest online beauty retailer-expands partnership with Moovweb
Feelunique will introduce a new App-like Mobile Site powered by Moovweb
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Feelunique, Europe's largest online beauty retailer, announced today that it has expanded its long-standing partnership with Moovweb, by building an innovative Progressive Web App (PWA) with The Moovweb Experience Delivery Network (XDN) that powers modern mobile experiences for the world's leading brands.
The company's new eCommerce experience will allow shoppers to browse, checkout and purchase items as fast as an app in their mobile browser without requiring a mobile app download. Powered by The Moovweb XDN, the new web experience will dramatically speed up mobile shopping-search, browsing and buying products-leveraging PWA technology.
Now that page load speed is a key factor for SEO thanks to new rules that rank which mobile sites appear first on Google, best-in-class eCommerce brands are utilizing PWA technology. With PWAs, follow-up pages are pre-cached giving the shopper instantaneous page transitions. The entire online shopping experience is incredibly fast, reliable and feels like an app.
"With Moovweb XDN, our development team can now deliver lighting-fast performance through advanced caching, prefetching and combining API calls on the server side-all configurable directly in our JavaScript code. This is light years beyond what can be accomplished by legacy responsive web methodologies," said Neil Landon, Chief Technology Officer at Feelunique.com.
The Moovweb platform also allows the development team to easily convert native app APIs to work inside a PWA and create new synthetic APIs for capabilities including demand generation, SEO, and CMS content that previously lacked API support. And time to launch is over several weeks, not months.
"Feelunique has a passionate customer base so it's great to see them embracing an innovative Progressive Web App for a highly personalized, faster and more engaging shopper experience," said Moovweb CEO Ajay Kapur. "Beyond a dramatic increase in mobile site speed, retailers building PWAs with Moovweb are seeing a huge improvement in mobile conversions."
