The Challenge

What we were up against

Lumina needed a digital storefront that matched the elegance of their physical showrooms. The existing site was slow, not mobile-friendly, and lacked the visual fidelity required to sell high-end lighting fixtures.

Key Problems Identified

  • 1
    Legacy Shopify theme with 6+ second load times
  • 2
    No mobile optimization (75% of traffic was mobile)
  • 3
    Product photography didn't convey the true quality of fixtures
  • 4
    Cart abandonment rate of 78%
  • 5
    No product visualization tools for customers

"Our website was embarrassing compared to our showroom experience. We were losing customers before they even saw our products."

Marco Bellini CEO, Lumina Lighting Co.
The Solution

How we solved it

We built a headless commerce solution using Next.js and Shopify. We implemented Three.js for 3D product rendering, allowing customers to visualize fixtures in their homes. AI algorithms suggest complementary products based on style and room type.

1

Performance-First Architecture

Migrated from legacy Shopify to headless commerce with Next.js, achieving sub-1.5 second load times globally through edge caching and image optimization.

2

Immersive 3D Product Experience

Implemented Three.js-powered 3D product viewers allowing customers to rotate, zoom, and see fixtures from every angle with realistic lighting simulation.

3

AI-Powered Recommendations

Built a recommendation engine that analyzes room type, design style, and browsing behavior to suggest perfectly complementary fixtures.

4

Mobile-First Redesign

Completely rebuilt the mobile experience with touch-optimized interactions, swipe galleries, and streamlined checkout flow.
