Eco Plug Solution
A specialized platform for sustainable energy solutions, focused on professional EV charging station installations/maintenance.
Overview
Eco Plug Solution is a forward-thinking provider dedicated to the safe installation and maintenance of EV charging infrastructure. The digital platform I developed serves as their primary customer touchpoint, emphasizing safety, certification, and eco-friendly values.
The Problem
Safety is the primary concern for new EV owners. The client needed a website that didn't just list services, but educated the user on safety standards (like proper breaker sizing and grounding). The challenge was to present technical electrical services in an approachable, consumer-friendly manner.
System Architecture
The site utilizes a decoupled approach for maximum scalability and performance.
- Frontend: Next.js 14 utilizing React Server Components for optimal initial page load and reduced client-side bundle size.
- Backend: Payload CMS customized to handle service types, project galleries, and technician profiles.
- Styling: Tailwind CSS for a clean, 'green-tech' aesthetic that reinforces the brand's sustainability mission.
Dynamic Features
- Project Gallery: A CMS-driven portfolio where the team can upload 'Before & After' photos of installations, building immense trust with potential clients.
- Service Catalog: Dynamic routing for different service tiers (Home Installation, Commercial Setup, Maintenance), managed via Payload.
SEO & Performance
- Keyword Optimization: Targeted content strategy for 'EV Charging Installation' and 'Sustainable Energy Solutions'.
- Performance: Optimized asset delivery and implemented lazy loading for gallery images to ensure a smooth scrolling experience.
- Mobile First: Designed priority-first for mobile users, as most EV owners search for services on their phones.
My Contribution
I operated as the sole developer, translating the client's eco-mission into a functional digital product.
- UI/UX Design: Created a clean, modern interface that communicates 'Safety' and 'Innovation'.
- CMS Configuration: Set up Payload CMS with specific validation rules to ensure data integrity for service descriptions and pricing.
- Deployment: Managed the deployment pipeline and domain configuration for consistent uptime.
Impact
Eco Plug Solution now ranks prominently for local EV installation searches. The site has automated the initial inquiry phase, allowing the technical team to focus on site visits and installations rather than answering basic capability questions.
