Objective and solution overview
Problem statement
The old site was built on outdated technology and loaded in 4+ seconds, directly losing customers who left due to slow speeds. The mobile experience was terrible with unreadable text, broken layouts, and inaccessible buttons. Checkout process took 8 steps with confusing forms, causing 60% cart abandonment. Product images were low quality and didn't showcase premium quality. The site had no SEO optimization, so they weren't discoverable in search. The team couldn't update products without contacting developers, slowing down campaign launches.
Solution approach
We completely rebuilt the frontend using Next.js with server-side rendering for fast initial loads. Implemented responsive design with Tailwind CSS that works perfectly on all devices. Created a streamlined 2-step checkout using Stripe, with auto-filling for returning customers. Built high-quality product pages with zoom-enabled images, detailed descriptions, customer reviews, and related product recommendations. Implemented technical SEO with proper meta tags, structured data, Open Graph tags, and XML sitemaps. Created a custom CMS so the team can manage products, pricing, and promotions independently.
Results
The new site loads in under 1 second (vs 4+ seconds before), achieving a 95 Lighthouse performance score. Mobile conversions increased 2x. Cart abandonment dropped to 18%. Organic traffic grew 3.5x in 6 months. The team can now launch seasonal campaigns in hours instead of weeks. They've added new product categories and expanded their team because they can scale without engineering bottlenecks.
