During my time on the ecommerce team at Awaze, I primarily focused on improving the user experience for hoseasons.co.uk and cottages.com. I played a key role in the integration of Blue Chip Holidays, specifically in building the frontend of the search results page for their new website.
My tasks involved translating provided UI designs for desktop, tablet, and mobile into a functional and cohesive webpage. Given the absence of a JavaScript framework, I utilised Vanilla JS for AJAX updates, emphasising the need for robust code to prevent potential errors on a high-revenue site.
The project required various frontend skills, including creating responsive custom filter and sort controls, implementing lazy loading for images, and managing AJAX updates alongside shortlisting with cookies.
Technologies Used:
- JavaScript
- HTML
- CSS
- Spectre CSS
Although the page is no longer live due to the integration of Blue Chip Holidays into cottages.com, this experience provided valuable insights into practical aspects of frontend development within the context of a constantly evolving digital landscape.
