Project Summary
The challenge was to upgrade the theme and design & develop a brand-new website. l u • c i e e wanted to elevate their online presence and deliver an enhanced user experience tailored to their target audience. In addition, they wanted a visually captivating website that reflected the brand's unique style and captured the essence of their fashion offerings.
Understanding our client requirements, our team at Nivara upgraded their website to Shopify 2.0 (Dawn theme). In addition, it implemented responsive design principles to optimize the store's accessibility across various devices. As a result, we helped them achieve an extraordinary website transformation, positioning the online women's clothing store for unparalleled success in the highly competitive eCommerce landscape.
What Problems Did The Client Face?
Improving Core Web Vitals
l u • c i e e struggled to meet Google's Core Web Vitals benchmarks while operating on Shopify's outdated platform. This affected site performance, SEO rankings, and overall user experience.
Page Load Speed
A slow-loading website resulted in higher bounce rates, lower conversions, and declining search engine rankings. The client needed substantial improvements to ensure faster page load speeds and an enhanced browsing experience.
Limited Design Flexibility
The old Debut theme restricted their ability to customize pages beyond the homepage, hindering their ability to create engaging layouts across the site.
What Was Our Approach?
At Nivara Commerce, we identified three key pillars to address l u • c i e e's challenges: We transitioned their store from the outdated Debut theme to Shopify's advanced Dawn theme, ensuring improved site performance, flexibility, and scalability. The Dawn theme allowed greater control over metafields, enabling the client to manage product and page data with more precision and customization. With Shopify 2.0, l u • c i e e could now add and customize sections across all pages, not just the homepage, offering better design control and flexibility.
How Did We Help?
Migration to Dawn Theme
We upgraded l u • c i e e's store to Shopify 2.0, providing enhanced design capabilities, faster load times, and better scalability for growth.
Core Web Vitals Optimization
