Concept

ProAudio approached MAKDigital looking to redesign their BigCommerce website theme and through additional BigCommerce development services add some additional functionality and features to their site. Owning a professional-looking website in the music production industry is essential for success. The online storefront is where potential customers, clients, and collaborators will come to learn more about their services. An unfinished or beginner appearing site has the possibility of turning visitors away, someone may think their personal info would not be safely shared or cared for. A professional website will allow Pro Audio to compete with their competition by providing a reliable and aesthetically pleasing site that accurately reflects the quality of their work.

The site should be easy to navigate and have clear calls to action, so visitors know what the next steps are if they wish to engage with Pro Audio. Additionally, completing thorough BigCommerce SEO strategies will optimize the site for search engines, ensuring that Pro Audio pages rank organically higher on search engine result pages, thereby increasing visibility and attracting a broader audience. The new site is optimized for mobile devices and clearly displays their contact information, allowing potential customers to easily reach out.

Redesign

The redesign was focused around reconstructing the Home, Category and Product pages. Creating an optimized customer experience journey through the site from landing page to checkout. This consisted of injecting style and branding to each layout, helping remind customers who they are shopping with. Keeping a consistent style and branding throughout the theme will make the new site appear much more professional and ready to compete with big-box brands! The old version of the ProAudio website had a large number of ‘white-space’ areas on each page leaving the site with an un-finished appearance. The redesigned site now has a great ebb and flow to it allowing for easy browsing by any shoppers.

Our team employed BigCommerce Stencil to develop a modern and dynamic theme, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience. We also focused on BigCommerce page speed optimization, enhancing the site's performance and loading times for a smooth browsing experience.

As a trusted BigCommerce design partner, we integrated advanced design elements and features to create a cohesive and visually appealing online presence for ProAudio. Our expertise in BigCommerce theme development enabled us to deliver a site that not only looks professional but also functions efficiently, providing an optimal shopping experience for customers.
