Online Shop #1 – WooCommerce

Hmm, this case study is tagged with Shopify, so why do you write about WooCommerce, the shop system for WordPress?

That is correct, when I first started working with Sandra Fischer and her brand SHEA YEAH, the site was built using WordPress and the ecommerce part was using WooCommerce.

We redesigned the site using the fantastic GeneratePress theme, which I can highly recommend in combination with the native WordPress block editor. This allowed Sandra and her team to easily manage and create impressive content for the blog and run the ecommerce part smoothly.

A few specialties that the shop had:

When Sandra announced that she will get an investment from Ralf Dümmel after being featured in Die Höhle der Löwen, I assisted in migrating the site to their Shopify system focussing on the EU market, especially Germany.

Online Shop #2 – Shopify

Once the rush after being on television has settled, SHEA YEAH decided to take the shop back in their own hands to get more control over marketing and the content of the site.

We got a complete copy of the Shopify shop and started implementing the necessary changes to the shop to focus on the Swiss market again and adding EU shops later.

The shop features a few mentionable changes:

What's next?

With the Shop back in the hands of Sandra and her team, we decided to stay on Shopify for now, but changed the theme to a faster and more flexible theme.
