Overview
NEVIE-GLOBAL needed a UK home for its ecosystem: founder access, connected jewellery, learning and technology services, presented as one premium brand. This case study documents that build. It is our own product, so every figure below comes from the running platform; commercial results are marked To Be Confirmed until they are measured.
Challenge
The ecosystem spans very different offers — a £1 digital founder card, physical jewellery sold on pre-order, free learning and bespoke services. Each needed its own buying journey without the site feeling like four separate products. The UK platform also had to price in GBP, handle UK VAT, respect UK GDPR and keep the original French product names.
Objectives
- One storefront for founder access and connected jewellery, paid through Stripe Checkout
- Service pages that turn interest into a qualified, stored enquiry
- A learning space (NEVIE Academy) that shares the same account
- An admin console so the team can run products, content, leads and delivery without developers
- No invented figures anywhere: unconfirmed details are shown as To Be Confirmed
Architecture
The platform is a single Next.js 15 application using the App Router and React Server Components. PostgreSQL (through Prisma) is the system of record for products, orders, leads, content and projects. Redis backs rate limiting and short-lived state. Public pages read through tagged caches, so publishing in the admin refreshes only the pages affected.
UI/UX
The interface follows the NEVIE-GLOBAL identity: deep navy and electric blue with gold accents, in light and dark themes. Motion is used sparingly for reveals and progress, and it switches off for visitors who prefer reduced motion. Every page was checked at desktop and mobile widths for layout and horizontal overflow.
Backend
Server routes validate every input with schemas before it reaches the database. Quote requests accept structured project details and an optional brief; attachments are stored privately and are only downloadable by staff. Transactional email is sent over SMTP, configured from the admin console. Staff access sits behind a private console URL and mandatory two-step verification.
