A German start-up specializing in personalized food, nuts and dried fruits in this case. This project was split in several parts: While another web design office build the CI, layout and the shop based on Magento, my part was the server's configuration and to create a preliminary website with Wordpress. With a limited budget, the customers needed a lot of consultation and technical advice to get things done and to avoid common mistakes. Magento is pretty heavy on the server. So in order to take some load of the web server, I chose NGINX to serve static files directly and to act as reverse proxy for Apache. Since the online shop went live, Kern-Energie.com now maintains the site with their own team of webmasters. Honestly, this project almost tanked and I'm just glad it seems to have worked out for everyone!
