"Estrellas Map"
A map of the stars that shone for you.
About
Estrellas Map is an e-commerce platform where users can create personalized star maps based on a special moment — a wedding, a birthday, or an anniversary. By selecting a date and location, customers get a scientifically accurate star map of the night sky at that time, printed on premium materials and shipped worldwide.
Client's Request
The client turned to us to create a Shopify-based website where users could:
- Select a date and location to generate a star map.
- Customize design (color, elements, layout, text).
- Connect the store with a print-on-demand service for automatic order processing.
- Launch multiple regional versions of the site in different languages.
Here’s What We Did
We designed and developed the entire experience from scratch:
- Created the UX/UI design for the website and the custom star map builder.
- Developed a Shopify store using Remix and modern front-end tools.
- Built a custom Shopify app that powers the star map builder with real astronomical data.
- Integrated the platform with Gelato (print-on-demand service) via API for automated order fulfillment.
- Implemented multilingual support and launched five regional sites for different markets.
- Used advanced rendering technologies (PIXI.js, sharp) for high-quality map generation.
- Deployed on a secure and scalable infrastructure (AWS S3, GitHub).
Here’s the Result
The result is a highly interactive Shopify store that lets users design a personalized star map in real time. Orders are processed automatically via Gelato, ensuring smooth production and fast worldwide shipping.
The client received a custom solution that combines Shopify commerce with complex visual generation logic, distinguishing it from standard e-commerce setups.
