About the client
Islamic learning made joyful for young readers
Pathfinders Publications helps Muslim children learn through stories, puzzles, crafts, games, and curriculum rooted in the Quran and Sunnah. Their flagship Pathfinders Magazine reaches thousands of homes in Sri Lanka and subscribers abroad, while their growing catalog spans activity books, story books, a ten-year Islamic studies curriculum, graded Quran readers, educational posters, stickers, and stationery. The site needed to unite that breadth—commerce, free activities, and the founder's story—in one welcoming destination for parents, teachers, and young learners.
The challenge
- Organize a wide product range—from magazines and curriculum to Quran readers, posters, mugs, and wall frames—so families and educators can browse and buy with confidence.
- Present Pathfinders' educational mission and authentic Islamic values alongside a modern, child-friendly brand without cluttering the shopping experience.
- Surface free downloadable activities (worksheets, colouring pages, art and craft) alongside paid publications in a way that supports discovery and engagement.
- Deliver a fast, responsive WordPress storefront that works seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile for local and international customers.
Our approach
- Structured the site around clear journeys: store categories, activities hub, our story, and how to order—aligned to how parents and teachers actually shop and plan lessons.
- Designed a warm, illustration-led visual system that reflects Pathfinders' emphasis on creativity, curiosity, and positive Islamic messaging.
- Built WooCommerce category architecture for publications, curriculum, Arabic and Quran readers, posters, stickers, and gift items.
- Developed modular templates for product listings, activity categories, and editorial pages so the Pathfinders team can publish and merchandise independently.
- Validated layouts across desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile throughout QA using multi-device mockups.
