What we were solving
Legacy theme debt slowed releases and hurt mobile conversion. The team needed a faster storefront and a design system that could support campaign refreshes without rewrites.

Case note
What changed and why it mattered
The useful part of a case study is the reasoning: what was risky, what was shipped, and what proof the team had after release.
Approach
The rebuild used Hyva and a token-driven component system so design, speed, accessibility, and future editing could stay aligned.
- Atomic components were mapped to clear design tokens and reusable content patterns.
- LCP, CLS, image, font, and script budgets were tracked for key page types.
- Checkout-adjacent experiments were wired with analytics and release notes.
- Focus states, keyboard behavior, contrast, and mobile layout were included in QA.
Results and lessons
The storefront became easier to operate, lighter on mobile, and better suited for continuous release work.
- Product and category templates shipped with cleaner component ownership.
- Frontend payload was reduced through lean markup and script discipline.
- SEO-sensitive blocks kept heading hierarchy, schema, and internal linking in view.
