A huge catalogue needs a store that keeps up.
4D Controls sells surplus and used automation parts (PLCs, drives, robot arms) to industry and mining, shipping from Australia and the US. With 28,000+ parts, they needed a store that stays quick, is easy for the team to update, and does a few things an off-the-shelf theme can't.
What I built
I designed and built the whole store: a fully custom theme, built from scratch. No page builder.
- 01
Custom theme
Built on ACF flexible content blocks instead of a page builder. It keeps the site lightweight, and the team can still edit their own pages.
- 02
Condition selector
Each part can come in several conditions, from surplus sealed to used, plus series. Buyers pick the one they want and see stock and delivery dates for both warehouses.
- 03
Shipping estimator
A custom plugin that estimates shipping by state on the product page, before buyers reach the checkout.
- A quote request for out-of-stock parts, so a missing part still turns into an enquiry
The project: 28,000 parts, one fast custom store.
Design & development: Tim Wall · Built while at Clickk
