BuyWander sells inspected retail returns at a discount, saving customers money and reducing waste. Their original website was slow and confusing, not built for growth. PixelMakers was engaged to deliver speed and performance improvements.
Strategy and design
A sitemap, wireframes and detailed designs for a fast ecommerce store, focused on conversion.
Custom Shopify storefront
Customized a Shopify theme for a quick launch.
Move to a fully custom storefront
Moved to a fully custom (headless) storefront on SvelteKit, Sanity and Shopify, built a custom auction module and added automations.
Internal tools and dashboards
Designed and developed a dashboard for real-time auction data, sales insights, and admin features.
Iteration and scaling
Moved to Nuxt, Sanity and Shopify Plus for better performance.
The challenge
From a clunky theme to a custom storefront. Their website wasn't pulling its weight. Slow. Confusing. Not built for growth. They needed speed and scalability.
Results
Over $2M raised since launch. Faster site increased engagement and conversions. Internal dashboard saved hours per week. Multiple rebuilds delivered in record time.
