Notes
Three languages
Every page is in Chinese, English and Malay, with a switch at the top. Customers in Kuching don’t all read the same language, so nobody gets left out.
Finding a product fast
The catalogue holds about 120 products in five groups: shells, fireworks sets, firecrackers, small items and firework shows. There’s a search box too, with shortcuts for the things people look for most, like new arrivals and firecrackers.
Phones first
I designed for a small screen first and widened it from there, then tested it on the main browsers.
When something doesn’t load
Some new products don’t have photos yet, and older phones sometimes hold on to an old version of the site. So there’s a help panel that explains what’s going on and walks people through clearing their cache on iPhone, Android or a PC.
Getting found
Page titles and descriptions are written for people searching around Kuching and Sarawak. The site runs on Cloudflare Workers, so it’s served from close to whoever is visiting and there’s no server for the client to look after.
