Blondel: Indulge in Exquisite Chocolates with Ease

Blondel, a renowned chocolate shop nestled in the heart of old town Lausanne, Switzerland, has been delighting chocolate connoisseurs for more than 150 years with its handcrafted chocolates and confections. To further elevate the chocolate experience, Cruncher partnered with Blondel to develop a sophisticated website that serves as a showcase for their exquisite creations.

At the heart of the website is a seamless and intuitive webshop, allowing clients to immerse themselves in the world of Blondel chocolates from the comfort of their own homes. With a user-friendly interface, clients can easily navigate through the extensive selection of chocolates and customize their own chocolate boxes with their preferred assortment of flavors.

A Taste of Tradition and Innovation

Blondel's website not only offers a convenient shopping experience but also provides a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the chocolatier. Visitors can explore the fascinating story behind Blondel, from its humble beginnings in 1850 to its status as a beloved destination for chocolate lovers worldwide.

With a curated selection of chocolates ranging from classic truffles to innovative flavor combinations, clients can easily find their favorite treats or discover new indulgences. The webshop's intuitive design allows clients to select and customize their chocolate boxes with ease, replicating the experience of visiting the shop in person.

Embracing Tradition, Elevating the Chocolate Experience

Cruncher's partnership with Blondel goes beyond website development – it embodies a shared commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation in the world of chocolate. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and design principles, the website not only enhances the shopping experience but also celebrates the rich heritage and tradition of Blondel.

As Blondel continues to delight chocolate enthusiasts with its exquisite creations, Cruncher remains dedicated to supporting their mission of providing premium-quality chocolates and exceptional customer service. Together, we elevate the chocolate experience, one indulgent bite at a time.

Technology

At its hearth, the Blondel Webshop is built using Django and DjangoCMS. These tools gave us the flexibility and stability tu build a custom e-commerce application. To process payments we integrated with Postfinance, one of the leading Swiss PSP, operated by the Swiss Post.

To offer a seamless shopping experience, we designed and implemented a custom REST API handling the whole customisation and payment process, between the front- and the back-end of the application.
