Website for 'Wagstreet' in CakePHP – Dog Care Products & Services

Client Brief

Wagstreet approached us to redevelop his existing website that focuses on dog-related services. The goal was to enhance the website’s structure and features while maintaining its purpose of connecting dog owners, breeders, and service providers in one place. The client wanted the website to become more interactive and user-friendly, making it easier for people to find trusted services for their pets. Our task was to upgrade the website’s functionality, improve navigation, and refresh the overall design to create a smooth browsing experience for all types of users. We also needed to ensure that the website could efficiently manage listings, content, and communication between users.

Our Endeavor

Wagstreet is designed as an online platform that connects dog lovers with various pet services, making it easier for users to find what they need within their local area. The website allows visitors to search for dogs, list their own dogs, and browse through services provided by professionals. Along with being a marketplace, it also includes an informative section managed by the admin, offering blogs and articles about dog care, training, health, and feeding to help users gain better knowledge about their pets.

The project required building a structure that could handle two types of users, that is dog breeders and service providers. Breeders can sign up to list their dogs, manage their profiles, and look for services they require. Service providers, on the other hand, can register to showcase their offerings and connect with breeders or dog owners who need professional help. This dual user model was a key part of the project’s functionality and required thoughtful development to maintain ease of use for both user types.

During redevelopment, our team restructured several modules of the website to improve its overall usability and performance. The new setup allowed faster searches, simplified registration, and smoother listing management. Each feature was developed keeping in mind the needs of the users, whether they were breeders listing dogs or providers adding their services.

We also worked on optimizing the admin panel, making it easier for the client to manage content, approve listings, and publish educational articles. This gave the client complete control over how the information appeared on the website, keeping it updated and relevant for all users. The educational content section was particularly valuable as it helped dog owners stay informed about proper care and maintenance for their pets.

To make the website interactive, we integrated features that allowed users to connect and communicate within the platform. This added value to the user experience and strengthened the community aspect of our client. Additionally, we focused on maintaining consistency in design and functionality, making sure the site looked appealing and worked smoothly across all devices.

Our developers used PHP, CakePHP, MySQL, jQuery, and Ajax for the redevelopment process. These technologies supported dynamic content updates, quick data processing, and a stable system for managing users and listings. The result was a modern, functional website that successfully serves its purpose, bringing together dog enthusiasts, breeders, and service providers under one digital platform.
