E-Commerce Website of

Campaign Setup

• Initially, the India website was hosted on shopify, which provided quick deployment but also carried recurring platform charges and limitations in customization.
• The client wanted a cost-effective, scalable, and customized website that aligned with their premium brand image while reducing dependency on third-party platforms.

Challenges

• Recurring Costs:
  Shopify’s monthly charges and app costs were adding up, making it less viable for long-term operations.

• Design Limitations:
  Shopify templates restricted customization. The India team wanted a website that mirrored the elegant global brand design while allowing for regional content and campaigns.

• Custom Dashboard Needs:
  The client required a custom backend dashboard for product management, orders, and content updates without relying on Shopify’s paid ecosystem.

• Scalability:
  The platform needed to be flexible for future integration with marketing tools, CRM, and localized features.

• Performance:
  Shopify websites often come with extra scripts and apps that slow down page loading.

The India site needed to be lightweight and performance-optimized for Indian internet speeds and devices.
