EVERY STITCH IN PLACE - SHOPIFY PLUS DEVELOPMENT | &SONS

CLIENT
&Sons
SCOPE OF WORKS
SHOPIFY DEVELOPMENT
THE BRIEF

&Sons is a British, vintage-inspired fashion brand designing heritage menswear & womenswear for modern pioneers. Designed by crafts people for crafts people, &sons had garnered a significant following due to the quality of their product portfolio. Having grown significantly, &Sons needed a website that could handle their increased order velocity, and give their customers the smooth, stylish shopping experience they deserved. It was time to leave behind the standard Shopify website and upgrade to a Shopify Plus website, allowing for more bespoke ecommerce functionality. 

As a design-driven brand with unmatched attention to detail, &Sons were particular about the style and quality of their new website, which needed to match the care and attention that goes into their products. And we were more than happy to oblige, as we know the importance of branding and website design working in sync.

To create a next-level website that gave &Sons everything they needed to meet their new growth and take it further, we started with collaborative workshops where we discussed ecommerce trends, best-practice concepts, and what was and wasn’t working for competitors. We’d then take these learnings and transform them into website wireframes to nail down the purpose and style of each page.

THE WORK

To create a next-level website that gave &Sons everything they needed to meet their new growth and take it further, we started with collaborative workshops where we discussed ecommerce trends, best-practice concepts, and what was and wasn’t working for competitors. We’d then take these learnings and transform them into website wireframes to nail down the purpose and style of each page.

Heritage Menswear, Modern Ecommerce

Even for a Shopify Plus ecommerce website, we wanted to go above and beyond with the new &Sons website, giving both the brand and its customers the ultimate user experience.

We made this a reality in a few ways:

  • Telling each product’s story: User experience (UX) and ecommerce became one on individual product pages, giving each product the space to tell its own story, from sketches and details to the “full look” and care guide.
  • Platform optimisation: It (almost) goes without saying that we made sure this next-level website was optimised across desktop and mobile, but it was slightly more challenging this time. Depending on the platform, &Sons wanted to show landscape or portrait images that captured that feel and quality of their brand and products. For mobile, this involved precise padding around images.
  • Fit indicator: While browsing specific products, people can see how each one will fit with a small “fit indicator” that also works as a nudge towards their cart. It’s little touches like this that make a user’s journey smooth, from discovery to purchase.
  • Quick shop functionality: Allowing people to quickly add products to their basket without clicking through to the product page, all with a subtle animation to let them know it’s worked.

THE OUTCOME

As you can tell, every page of the new &Sons website has been given the same love, care, and attention to detail that you’d normally expect from &Sons’ products. With every stitch in place, we’ve already seen positive results.
