Developed in 2023 for Manamperi Hardware, a premier hardware supplier in Sri Lanka, this website delivers a seamless online experience for sourcing top-quality building materials, tools, and fittings. Rated 5/5 by clients, it showcases the project’s success in driving e-commerce growth amid Sri Lanka’s competitive hardware market.
The build process began with a full data migration from legacy systems to PrestaShop, ensuring zero downtime and preserving thousands of product listings—from roofing sheets and cement to bathroom sanitaryware, power tools, and door hardware. Hosted on Linode with enterprise-grade security protocols, the site handles high traffic spikes during peak construction seasons, protecting sensitive customer data and transactions.
Custom WordPress integration powered responsive web design via the Mobiz theme by Mobiz International, optimizing for mobile users browsing on-site from Colombo to Maharagama. Key features include intuitive product catalogs mirroring industry leaders like Mascons and Hettich Sri Lanka, with filters for categories such as kitchen sinks, PVC pipes, and safety gear. Dynamic search, wishlist functionality, and secure checkout boosted conversion rates by streamlining the path from inquiry to purchase.
Impact was immediate: user engagement surged, enabling Manamperi Hardware to compete with e-stores like Asiri Hardware and Global Hardware. Last updated in 2025, it supports ongoing expansions like bulk order portals for builders, solidifying its role as a trusted digital hub.
