Project Role:Front-end development
Monkey Sports is a fast growing company focusing on Hockey, Lacrosse, and Baseball sporting equipment. After moving its headquarters to Allen Texas, Monkey Sports is quickly becoming the go-to place for customized sporting apparel and gear. You won’t find the typical product that you see in big box stores, instead the focus is on gearing up the player to be the best equipped person in the arena.
These sports are bananas
The complexity of an e-commerce website led to some major challenges that were always top-of-mind when working with new or existing modules.
Mobile first
Concentrating on the user experience
Since mobile traffic is such a huge part of any e-commerce website; steps were taken to ensure that the user would have a clean experience no matter what device they used.
Popup modals
Variable content and mobile fun
The Safari mobile browser creates some unique problems such as when the user interacts with input fields. To alleviate this issue media queries were used to force a font-size fix and JavaScript to prevent the background content from scrolling.
Customized modules
Proper templating in Magento
Magento, much like WordPress, uses templatized parts to build a page. All of the custom modules I created and edited correctly used new assets to build upon the previous parts. So, when updates are made to the site, none of the work is overwritten or erased.

Many moving parts
Whether it is a store locator, checkout, company FAQ, or any of the other page types in an e-commerce website a lot has to be considered before changing certain parts because there’s a good chance it will affect another.
