- 10 weeks · First conversation to launch
SA1NT’s European distributor moved the brand’s online store from Magento 1 to Shopify, and we built the new store. We designed a custom theme with SA1NT’s own designers and took the store from first conversation to launch in 10 weeks. After launch we kept working with the distributor to develop the store.
About SA1NT
SA1NT is an Australian brand that makes clothing for work and for motorcycle riders. Our client was the distributor responsible for Europe.
The challenge
The European store ran on Magento 1 and was underperforming in the European market. The distributor decided to move to Shopify and chose Think Commerce to build the new store.
The brief was wider than a technical migration. The distributor wanted a store that needs little maintenance and could support its plans for the Nordics, the UK and the rest of Europe. We worked with the distributor and SA1NT’s head office in Australia throughout.
What we did
Moving to Shopify took much of the troubleshooting and maintenance off the distributor’s team. The store is built to add new regions and a growing product range.
A custom theme built with SA1NT’s designers
Working with SA1NT’s designers, we built a custom Shopify theme that matches the brand’s rugged image and suits European shoppers.
A clear layout that works on mobile
We kept the layout simple to navigate and optimised the store for mobile.
After launch
We kept working with the distributor after launch. We developed SA1NT’s presence in Europe and supported other brands in the distributor’s portfolio, shipping improvements and new features regularly. That kind of ongoing work is what our monthly retainers cover.
The result
It took 10 weeks from first conversation to launch.
