LongIslandWatch.com Volusion to BigCommerce Migration: Everything You Need to Know About the LongIslandWatch.com Digital Transformation
Long Island Watch needed a more modern and visually appealing platform to better showcase their high-quality watches. The outdated Volusion platform was limiting their potential, and migrating to BigCommerce provided enhanced functionality, better user experience, and a more streamlined design.
The primary goals were to create a modern, aesthetically pleasing website, improve mobile usability, and enhance the overall shopping experience. The redesign aimed to make the site more user-friendly, visually appealing, and aligned with the brand’s high standards.
MAKDigital started from scratch, creating a new website that featured high-quality images, hover-over effects, and sections for Featured Brands and Trending Watches. They revamped the homepage, category pages, product pages, and informational pages to improve aesthetics and functionality.
The redesign utilized BigCommerce as the eCommerce platform, integrating technologies such as Affirm Payments, Searchspring Search, Sezzle Buy Now Pay Later, AccessiBe Compliance, Cloudflare CDN, Google Analytics, Open Graph, Smile Rewards, and Vimeo for video content.
Custom features included a complex mega navigation, API integrations with Searchspring and Smile Rewards, a custom BigCommerce theme, a custom component for easy product bundling, and custom integrations with Affirm and Vimeo. An up-sell side cart component was also added.
MAKDigital focused on responsive design to ensure the site translated beautifully across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. The redesign provided more space for high-quality images, improved navigation, and a more organized layout, enhancing the overall mobile user experience.
The new website provided a modern, user-friendly design that improved credibility and trust. The streamlined shopping experience, better mobile usability, and enhanced visual appeal helped Long Island Watch attract and retain more customers.
The collaboration with MAKDigital resulted in a visually appealing and user-friendly site that aligned with Long Island Watch's brand. The successful migration to BigCommerce improved site functionality, streamlined processes, and enhanced overall user engagement and satisfaction.
