THE CHALLENGES
Category Clean Up & Streamlining
One of the first challenges that we tackled revolved around getting new categories set up on Shopify and streamlining this process. In short, we needed to completely overhaul their product tagging system in order to get new collections to auto generate based on tags.
To achieve this, we created a comprehensive guide for the Damson Madder team dealing with what tags to add, how format them, and which logic and rules to apply when creating new tags for products. The result so when we are ready to add a new niche category in place the system behind it is ready to go.
THE CHALLENGES
Living Within Our Means
As mentioned previously, resource internally was relatively tight. At StudioHawk, one of our key pillars is “Getting Things Done” so we helped things out by taking the initiative and implementing as much as we could ourselves.
That said, however, Damson Madder (DM) had made a really good amount of web development resources available to us, so we did manage to get a lot of technical and development hours in to really fix up those technical issues. This involved fixing up poor CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift – basically things jumping around as the page loads), HTML errors, slow page speed due to inefficient scripts, and others.
This was key when it came to outflanking competitor sites, which were SLOW for page speed, and gave us a great avenue to attack with DM’s developers.
