The Problem & Architecture Mandate
Tanbow, a real local business, needed a simple online presence where customers could browse products and reach out directly — nothing more complex than that.
Tanbow Website
A mobile-first digital storefront built around 1-tap WhatsApp business communication for a real local retail business.
Engineering Iterations & Milestones
Phase 01Production Milestone
Product Showcase
Organized merchandise into a clean, categorized grid with clear photography and product details.
Phase 02Production Milestone
Mobile Performance
Optimized image handling and layout so the site loads quickly on phones, where most of Tanbow's customers are likely to land.
Phase 03Production Milestone
Direct Contact Links
Added one-tap WhatsApp and phone links so shoppers can confirm stock without navigating a contact form.
System Longevity & Durability
Tanbow got a straightforward, mobile-first digital storefront built around the one channel its customers already use — WhatsApp — rather than a feature-heavy e-commerce build it didn't need.
04 // THE RESULTS
The site is live and has been the business's only real promotional channel beyond WhatsApp status updates. Tanbow hasn't tracked formal metrics on inquiries or conversions, so this one is best presented as a scoped, honest delivery — a working storefront handed off — rather than a numbers story.
