About the Project

A boutique brand, built to grow

Sarah Alexis is a boutique clothing store with a growing international customer base. What started as a series of UX and conversion improvements evolved into a full technical partnership β€” restructuring the homepage, enabling international shipping, and building out a complete affiliate marketing channel via Awin.

The Challenge

A store that needed to keep up with growth

Sarah's Shopify store had the products and the audience, but the site experience wasn't keeping pace. Mobile was underperforming, the homepage wasn't converting, and there was no affiliate infrastructure in place to scale reach beyond organic and paid channels.

What We Built

Our approach

1

UX & conversion fixes

Tackled reviews display, sale update logic, and key UI improvements across the store to lift conversion rate.

2

Mobile hero & Instagram feed

Rebuilt the mobile hero experience and integrated a live Instagram feed to bring social proof onto the storefront.

3

Homepage restructure & international shipping

Redesigned the homepage for impact and configured international shipping rules to support Sarah's growing global customer base.

4

Awin affiliate integration

Built a complete affiliate marketing setup including tracking, automated product feed generation, and feed validation β€” coordinating with Awin support and the affiliate management team throughout.

Key Features

What the site delivers

Reviews integration

Product reviews surfaced throughout the store to build trust and support buying decisions.

Mobile optimisation

Rebuilt hero and key sections for mobile, where the majority of boutique fashion traffic lands.

International shipping

Configured multi-region shipping rules to support customers across borders.

Instagram feed

Live Instagram feed embedded on the storefront to extend the brand's social presence.

Awin affiliate integration

Full affiliate channel setup with tracking and automated product feed submission.

Automated product feed

Dynamic feed that keeps Awin listings in sync with the store's inventory automatically.

Automated Awin Product Feed
Custom build

Automated Awin Product Feed

Built a custom automated product feed that pulls live inventory from the Shopify store and formats it to Awin's specification β€” keeping affiliate listings accurate without any manual updates.

Why it works: Affiliate channels go stale fast when feeds aren't maintained. This removes that entirely β€” every product update in Shopify reflects in the feed automatically.
