How It Started
For high-end eCommerce, every detail matters — from page speed and product flow to visual storytelling and mobile perfection.
That’s why Solstice Timepiece, a luxury watch brand specializing in sapphire crystal and stainless-steel craftsmanship, partnered with Local Social Marketing LLC. Their mission? Create a Shopify storefront that reflected the sophistication of their timepieces while driving conversions and making management easy for internal staff.
Project Overview
Solstice needed a Shopify 2.0 build that could:
- Present a premium watch line with style and clarity
- Convert mobile shoppers with frictionless UX
- Showcase testimonials, new arrivals, and bestsellers
- Keep backend management simple for staff handling launches, discounts, and collections
- Deliver a luxury digital brand experience on par with their product
We set out to craft a storefront that looked sleek and high-end — but was also fast, scalable, and designed to sell.
