Concept study ·
A concept study by iVishwa: an online store for a Colombo dodol maker whose recipe goes back to 1944. It has the story, the menu, delivery, gifting and three ways to order, built on a free Shopify theme that we customised until nothing of the original look was left.
The idea
A heritage sweet is hard to sell online. People cannot taste it through a screen, many do not know what a crust dodol is, and gift buyers want to be sure it is fresh and will arrive on time. We wanted to see how much of that a store could answer before anyone has to ask.
What we did
Full-bleed photography, a headline that says it in six words, and two clear actions: shop the menu or order on WhatsApp. A strip of trust badges sits right under it: 100% vegan, halal-certified, non-alcoholic, no preservatives and handmade in Colombo.
See it in the live concept ↗Products sit on a scrollable shelf with sizes and add-to-cart, a gift box up front, and vacuum-sealed options. Everything a shopper compares is visible without opening a page.
See it in the live concept ↗A recipe from 1944, a brand born in 2023, and a kitchen that now delivers to your door. The story scrolls as a timeline so heritage becomes a reason to trust the product, not a paragraph to skip.
See it in the live concept ↗An annotated close-up explains the signature bite, a roasted sugar top crust over a soft middle, and the method shows the care behind it: real kithul treacle, slow-cooked and stirred by hand.
See it in the live concept ↗Same-day delivery within Colombo, next-day island-wide and options for overseas orders, with a map. It answers the first question gift buyers ask before they ask it.

A dedicated gifting section shows the boxed set, what is inside and how it looks, so someone buying for another person can decide in seconds.
See it in the live concept ↗Shoppers order the way they like. The store takes orders online, on WhatsApp and through delivery apps, and offers bank transfer or cash on delivery at checkout.
