Concept

Before Springbok Puzzles began their website redesign project with MAK Digital Design, they were running their store on the outdated Volusion platform. Not only was their website painfully slow, but the previous design also felt extremely cluttered and hard to navigate. What they needed more than anything was a modern website built with high quality performance, and an updated design that fit their brand.

MAK Digital Design started from square one, building their website using the BigCommerce API in conjunction with Gatsby to ensure the highest performance possible. Along with the lightning-fast speeds, MAK also completely redesigned their store; the redesign included a new homepage, new category pages, new product pages, as well as new information pages. The redesign of the site was done with a "mobile first" mentality, using responsive design technology each page should be useable from any screen medium. Being built in a headless environment allows for seamless transitions between all pages, ensuring that users never have to deal with long loading times. With a new user interface, their website is also easy to navigate, making it easier for customers to quickly find what they’re looking for.

Their new, completed website gives customers a much better, and much faster experience, while also having a more professional feel. The journey from homepage to checkout is arguably the most seamless we have ever built, and that is all thanks to the headless approach that we took.

To further enhance the website's performance and visibility, MAK Digital Design implemented advanced BigCommerce SEO services to optimize search engine rankings and drive organic traffic. Our team of BigCommerce developers worked diligently to integrate sophisticated features that improve user engagement and overall functionality.

Additionally, as a leading BigCommerce marketing agency, we crafted a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to elevate Springbok Puzzles' online presence, leveraging targeted campaigns and social media outreach to attract a broader audience and increase sales.

Redesign

We are proud to announce the successful redesign of the Springbok-Puzzles.com BigCommerce website design. As a leading digital marketing company, our team was tasked with not only redesigning the eCommerce website but also building its new headless architecture to run off of. The goal was to create a seamless and user-friendly experience for Springbok Puzzles' customers that would ultimately increase conversions and improve overall functionality.

Our team worked tirelessly to ensure that the new website was not only aesthetically pleasing but also optimized for speed and ease of use. We implemented a new headless CMS architecture that allowed for greater flexibility in content management and customization, resulting in a more personalized experience for the user. Additionally, we improved the website's search functionality and overall navigation, making it easier for customers to find what they are looking for and complete their purchases.

Furthermore, the redesign leveraged BigCommerce Stencil technology, providing a robust and customizable framework for the new site. Our BigCommerce designers focused on creating a visually engaging and cohesive design that aligns with Springbok Puzzles' brand identity. The expertise of our BigCommerce experts ensured that the website not only looks great but also performs optimally.

Overall, the redesign of Springbok-Puzzles.com was a great success. We are proud to have been a part of this project and look forward to continuing to work with Springbok Puzzles to improve their online presence and drive business growth.

Solution

As you can see in the image taken from Google PageSpeed Insights, this is the kind of website speed you can expect from going the headless route whilst utilizing the React JavaScript library. Every ranking factor took less than a second to load, which is substantially faster than Google’s recommended 2-3 second load speed.

We at MAK recommend you check out the website for yourself to see just how snappy it feels. Say goodbye to long load times and users bouncing from slow websites. Whether you’re navigating the category pages, or attempting to add an item to your cart, all actions are as close to instantaneous as you can reasonably get. Using BigCommerce API alongside Gatsby is a build combination we highly recommend if your main concern is your websites performance, which not only affects user experience, but your SEO as well.

In addition to the performance enhancements, we also implemented BigCommerce Page Speed Optimization Services to ensure that the website consistently performs at its best. This includes optimizing images, leveraging browser caching, and minimizing JavaScript and CSS.

Furthermore, MAK Digital provides ongoing support through our BigCommerce Retainer Services, ensuring that Springbok Puzzles' website remains up-to-date and continues to perform optimally. With our comprehensive support, Springbok Puzzles can focus on growing their business while we take care of their website's maintenance and performance.
