Collaboration

WY Kwan Enterprise (201703052131), founded by young woman entreprenur Kwan, Wen Yi (“Wen Yi”) has her passion to establish her online business for her crafting business. She’s an adventurous wife + entrepreneur who passionately wants to focus on selling authentic yet artistically creative goods that can bring prestige to the people.

ZPress Status

Althrough the ZPress system was restored and upgraded with Woocommerce solution, we eventually shut it down due to its extreme impracticality from both operations and technical perpectives. Among the finding we found were:

  1. The final output of the platform is racing to include every single Javascript frameworks just to make a simple page (Angular, React, Backbones, etc). This is caused by the plugins integration across WordPress ecosystems.

  2. E-Commerce requires dedicated IT supports and security countermeasures. By the time we facilitate those, the cost were too high.

  3. Majority of the customers are already on known e-mall platforms. Hence, it's very expensive to drive the population to a niche commerce platform just to buy a certain thing.

  4. These known e-mall platforms are cheap (free) and liberate the merchants from those complicated IT problems and security compliances as well.

Regardless, WY Pristine e-store was launched successfully and is currently using a different technology to match her budget.

Epilogue
