The Problem
Business Impact
Low core web vitals and slow catalog rendering were hindering ad conversion rates. High-resolution product images slowed down page loading times on mobile devices.
Constraints
The brand required rich transitions and editorial layouts that could not be compromised for speed.

Architectural Strategy
Built a customized Shopify theme utilizing Shopify Online Store 2.0 specs, keeping JavaScript libraries to a minimum and optimizing image delivery.
