The objective was to revitalise the digital presence of Wxy., a brand that had been operating on a legacy Shopify setup for several years. While the business was established, the existing storefront reflected an older era of e-commerce, missing out on the drastic improvements in design flexibility and backend efficiency that Shopify has introduced in recent years.
