The Requirement

Market research shaped a two-module plugin plan.

TBI conducted market research and determined the pain points of the target audience (adventurers and athletes). TBI’s development team proposed building a custom WordPress plugin with two primary modules: User and Admin.

More customization when ordering maps

Based on research, users missed custom options when downloading city maps.

Complete admin control over map settings

Merchants needed to manage color schemes and map properties themselves.

Print-quality, high-resolution output

The plugin needed to produce high-resolution maps suitable for physical prints.

Customer preference insights

Merchants needed order data to optimize their map offerings.

Why This Approach

Eight features across two core modules

TBI’s development team proposed building a custom WordPress plugin with two primary modules: User and Admin.

Map Creation

TBI’s plugin lets users create maps for any location with streets and precise geographic coordinates, with zoom in/out for a high-level overview or fine detail, so shoppers can shop with confidence — placing an order only after analyzing detailed maps.

Mapbox Integration

TBI integrated the Mapbox API to provide high-quality, location-specific maps, creating functionality that generates high-resolution map images (8000×8000 pixels). Users can zoom in close to any location for intricate geographical information, and download their map with a single click for future reference.

Color Themes

TBI leveraged color themes to let users shade specific areas of the map, unleashing their creativity by choosing from multiple color options and personalizing maps with unique colors for landforms, seas, and more.

Text and Title

TBI enabled users to add supporting information describing the place on the map — a title, subtitle, and tagline — with a live preview that updates on screen as fields are filled in.

Poster Layout

TBI let users choose their preferred layout for printing maps — selecting orientation (portrait or landscape), size, and positioning of titles, subtitles, and map elements — then save their final map design for printing and order their personalized map print to catalog their journeys.

Color Schemes

TBI enabled admins to establish pre-designed color schemes for maps, choosing specific colors for streets, water, landforms, and buildings. Users can easily access these pre-selected color options, while admins retain the ability to edit or delete any color scheme at any time for maximum customization.

Order Details

TBI built order details tracking so merchants can leverage valuable information to optimize user experience — the plugin meticulously stores user-specific details associated with their map customizations, with insightful user data helping merchants tailor their offerings and effectively address customer preferences.

High-Resolution Exports

TBI gave admins exclusive access to a custom “Export Image” button — clicking it next to the map properties opens the Mapbox studio editor for printing maps, producing stunning, high-resolution map prints that include the customer’s chosen location and style.
