The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

  • Off-the-shelf themes couldn't support custom merchandising features without bloating JS bundles.
  • Brand teams needed editor-friendly sections without developer involvement for every promotional change.
  • Mobile page speed was non-negotiable for paid social traffic conversion rates.
The Approach

How it was built.

01

Modular Section Library

Built a reusable library of 30+ custom Liquid sections — Shop The Look, Quick View, Bundles, advanced filtering — that brand teams can drop in via the theme editor.

02

CRO-First IA

Restructured PDP and collection templates around scannability, social proof, and upsell placement informed by hotjar session recordings.

03

Strict Performance Budget

Enforced a JS budget per section with lazy hydration, deferred third-party scripts, and custom image loading strategies.
