Problem
Stove buyers choose by dimensions, weight and output, and every colour and air-intake type of a model is a separate product.
Solution
28 products in 6 families, a Turkish/English technical table on every product page, and instant search on the product list.

Context

İlmetal manufactures coal- and wood-burning stoves and range cookers in a 6,000 m² covered plant in Barakfakih OSB, Kestel, Bursa.

I built the site in October 2022, while working as a full-stack developer at RGS Teknoloji, on the agency's PHP MVC platform.

Approach

  • Product families. The 28 products are grouped into 6 families: Kovalı Lüks Kuzine, Mini Lüks, Kuzine, Karadeniz Kuzine, İnci Mini and Mini. Each colour (majolica, black, brown) and air-intake type has its own page.
  • A technical table on every product. Box dimensions, weight, heat output, flue diameter, fuel type and oven size, in Turkish and English in the same table.
  • Instant search. A search box on the products page filters results without reloading.
  • A look at production. An 8-photo gallery from the factory floor and a PDF catalogue that opens on the site.

Highlights

  • Four languages: Turkish, English, Persian and Arabic.
  • Homepage: A product carousel and a "Design / Quality / Experience" section.
  • Contact: Google Maps and a validated contact form.
  • Mobile: A fixed call button on every page.

Technical foundation

  • Core: RGS Teknoloji's PHP MVC platform with Blade templates; the front end was adapted from the Porto HTML theme.
  • Interface: Bootstrap 5, Owl Carousel and Magnific Popup; WebP images.
  • Form: Client-side validation with jQuery Validate and token-protected submission.
  • Hosting: Cloudflare, Brotli compression and HSTS.

Outcome

The site has been live since October 2022, presenting all 28 of the company's products with their technical figures in four languages.
