Project Overview
Vera Impéria is a coded equivalent perfume brand with a store in Mezitli, Mersin, selling online across Türkiye. Digitalpedi built the brand’s e-commerce site at veraimperia.com and the admin panel delivered to the brand. The catalog has 108 perfumes, and every product comes as either Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette.
Selling by code, and the brand-name rule
Vera Impéria’s perfumes are sold by code, not by the name of the fragrance that inspired them. Women’s fragrances carry a code starting with K and men’s with E, and the product name derives from the code. The perfume with code E150 is listed on the site as “Vera 150,” with its code on a separate line.
The client’s rule is clear: the brand and model names of the inspiring fragrances, including their Turkish equivalents, must not appear anywhere on the site. We did not leave this to a visual check. During development, a scanning script checked the product data against a list of banned terms, and all 108 products came back clean. On September 30, 2026, we scanned the 119 pages of the live site again against the listed brand names and found no matches. The site does not hide its business model either: the About and FAQ pages state plainly that the products are equivalent perfumes.
Catalog and ordering
The catalog can be filtered by gender and by nine fragrance families: amber, woody, floral, fruity, spicy, gourmand, leather, vanilla and rose. Every product page has a fragrance pyramid showing top, middle and base notes, and a concentration choice.
On the ordering side, the cart, the delivery and payment step, accounts and guest checkout all work. The payment options are bank transfer/EFT, cash on delivery and ordering via WhatsApp. The cart keeps only the product variant and quantity in the browser; prices and shipping fees are read from the database, and the price is verified again on the server when the order is created. Member passwords are stored hashed with PBKDF2-SHA256.
The general framework of the service is on our e-commerce site page.
Admin panel and data layer
In the panel delivered to the brand, products, variants and images are managed; order status and cargo tracking numbers can be updated, and the customer list can be viewed. The announcement bar, shipping fee, free-shipping threshold, bank details and WhatsApp number can also be changed from the panel. A written user guide was prepared for the panel.
The data sits in a Cloudflare D1 database with 7 tables, and product images in Cloudflare R2 storage. Product data is kept in a single JSON file; the database seed data and migration are generated from this file, so every change to the catalog propagates from one source. Our custom software work for companies is on the Custom Software page.
Design and search visibility
The visual language is dark and cinematic: charcoal background, gold accents, Fraunces and Instrument Sans typefaces, a golden phoenix emblem and an opening curtain on every page. Motion is built with GSAP and Lenis. The emblem, favicon set and share image were also prepared as part of this project.
On the search side, product pages are marked up with Product schema, including two offers, the brand, the return policy and a breadcrumb trail. The sitemap, robots.txt and llms.txt are live. GA4 is used for analytics, and thanks to Consent Mode v2, analytics storage stays off until the visitor gives consent.
Verification
The details in this page that can be checked from outside can be verified at veraimperia.com. The site footer carries the “Yazılım: Digitalpedi” (Software: Digitalpedi) link. The 108 products, the 54 products each on the women’s and men’s pages, the nine fragrance families and the 119 URLs in the sitemap (108 product pages and 11 other pages) were counted on the live site on September 30, 2026. The ordering options of bank transfer/EFT, cash on delivery and WhatsApp are listed on the FAQ page.
Because the admin panel is behind a login and the database is not visible from outside, those parts are based on our development records.
