Project Overview
Extreme Wheels is a leading US distributor of branded wheels, tires, and a wide range of performance parts & accessories. They approached TBI to upgrade their poorly performing website with over 400K products.
Our team proposed a WooCommerce website that can act like their marketplace without getting affected by the bulk inventory.

Information Architecture
Each element has been integral in scaling things up. Let’s look in detail at how everything happened.
Information Architecture
Our Woo experts have extensively worked on streamlining the information architecture (AI) of the website. We thoroughly studied the website and categorized products based on

Our in-house team created high-quality and informative content for the website, including product pages and other technical documents ( e.g. Wheel Torque Chart and Lug Nut Torque Chart. The detailed product pages equip shoppers with clear data and helpful resources for confident purchases.
Custom Database System
Extreme Wheels’s MySQL database struggled to manage the huge inventory, comprising 400K+ products. It slowed down the website and affected the user experience, resulting in potential sales.

Our Woo developers meticulously built over 10 APIs tailored to exchange data between the website and the database.
- Seamless Data Flow
Enables Extreme Wheels to exchange data with the database without any delay
- Enhanced Functionality
Extreme Wheels can add new product variations, manage user accounts, and more
- Improved Scalability
Extreme Wheels can handle more traffic without overwhelming the database
Our Woo experts had conceptualized a search feature for the banner section of the website.
This solution intends to help users narrow down their shopping options. We created multiple fields, encouraging users to filter their search while shopping:
- Vehicle Year
- Make
- Model
- Type
- Options
This simplifies the user’s browsing experience on the website.

We created personalization a step further by creating an add-on option (tire) on the product page (wheel) and vice versa.
- Reduced Cart Abandonment Rates
Shoppers get to complete their purchase on the same page, reducing the cart abandonment rates.
- Transparent Pricing
Displaying add-on options with their prices avoids any hidden costs at checkout.
- Increased Sales
Encouraging the purchase of complementary products increases the average order value for Extreme Wheels.

We integrated the website with Google Cloud Marketplace. This allows customers to discover, purchase, and manage your website directly within the Google Cloud Platform environment.
To ensure a seamless user experience, we integrated a user signup process within our software’s front end, allowing users to establish their accounts within our system.

Our dedicated WooCommerce development expertise turned out to be a game-changer for Extreme Wheels.
Over a six-month monitoring period, the client observed notable improvements in key metrics — organic traffic, unique visitors, average session duration, and conversions.
