The Challenge

The brand needed to move from a small creative idea into a fully automated, SEO-friendly Shopify system. The store lacked structure, visual consistency, and automation — making it hard to grow beyond 10 listings.

  • Disorganized product structure with manual uploads
  • No consistent SEO or metadata strategy
  • Slow page loads due to multiple heavy apps
  • No workflow to sync new designs automatically

Success Criteria

  • Automated product sync (Printful + Shopify)
  • SEO-optimized collections and PDPs
  • Unified brand design using the Ella theme
  • Fast mobile performance under 2.5s
  • Expandable framework for 100+ designs

Our Approach

1) Foundation & Structure

We built a modular structure ready for bulk uploads — with smart collection logic, SEO schema, and auto-tagged products grouped by niche, color, and theme. Each product follows a clear template for scalability.

2) Automation Layer

Shopify and Printful were connected through API sync, allowing one-click publishing across product variants. Repetitive tasks were replaced by reusable templates for faster launches.

3) SEO & Visual Identity

We combined SEO keyword mapping with lifestyle visuals and optimized metadata to make the brand discoverable on Google while maintaining a modern, professional aesthetic.
