Case Studies

Fashion

ThreadCraft Apparel Relaunch

A direct-to-consumer fashion brand needed a Shopify store that matched their premium positioning.

Challenge

Their generic Shopify theme created a discount-brand feel, product pages had no size guidance, and mobile conversion was 40% below desktop rates.

Our Approach

We designed a custom theme with editorial-style lookbooks, AI-powered size recommendations, and a mobile-first checkout that reduced steps from five to two.

Challenge

Customer lifetime value was low with 85% of buyers making a single purchase. The existing store had no mechanism for recurring revenue or personalized recommendations.

Our Approach

We built a custom subscription portal with skin-type quiz, personalized product bundles, flexible billing, and retention automation including win-back campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shopify is ideal for most stores processing under $1M annually. Shopify Plus becomes worthwhile when you need checkout customization, B2B features, multi-store management, or advanced automation. We help you decide based on your specific needs and growth trajectory.

Yes. We have migrated over 80 stores to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom platforms. Our process preserves products, customers, order history, SEO rankings, and URL structures.

A typical custom Shopify build takes 6 to 10 weeks from design to launch. More complex Shopify Plus implementations with custom integrations may take 10 to 14 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our strategy phase.

Not at all. We build custom themes using Shopify Online Store 2.0 with full app block support, so you can install and configure apps just as easily as with any standard theme.

Yes. Our subscription plans include ongoing store management covering theme updates, product catalog changes, seasonal campaign support, performance monitoring, and priority technical support.

Absolutely. We configure Shopify Markets for multi-currency pricing, localized content, international shipping rules, and duty and tax calculations so you can sell globally from a single store.

Headless Shopify uses the Hydrogen framework to build a custom frontend while Shopify handles the commerce backend. It offers maximum design freedom and speed but requires more development investment. We recommend it for brands with unique UX needs or very high traffic volumes.
