THE ASK

The developers and promoters of Garden City mall enlisted Enigma's team to create a visually stunning and highly interactive website that would not only promote the mall but also provide a seamless and engaging user experience, capturing the essence of the mall's modern architecture and vibrant atmosphere.

They also wanted to implement a content management system (CMS) that would enable the mall's management team to easily update and manage website content as the construction progresses through different stages and, ensure the website was optimized for search engines, mobile devices, and fast load times to provide a seamless and enjoyable user experience.

Tech Stack

To bring the Lagos mall's website to life, Enigma employed a powerful technology stack, featuring Next.js, a popular React-based framework, and GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform). This technology stack was selected as Next JS allowed us to build a highly performant, server-rendered React application that provided an exceptional user experience while ensuring fast load times and optimal search engine optimization.

The component-based architecture of Next.js allowed for efficient development and easy maintenance, as well as the ability to create reusable, modular components that could be seamlessly integrated throughout the site during the development process. GSAP, a high-performance animation library, facilitated the creation of smooth, visually stunning animations that showcased GCM's offerings and features in a captivating and immersive manner.

A substantial boost in brand recognition and anticipation for the mall's opening, thanks in part to the website's striking visual appeal and the successful communication of the mall's unique selling propositions.

Positive feedback from prospective tenants and partners, who praised the website's user-centric design, wealth of information, and seamless inquiry submission process.

A marked improvement in search engine rankings and visibility, owing to the optimized site architecture, fast loading times, and mobile-friendly design.
