Project Overview

The client, Hilster, a growing eCommerce brand, approached us to extend their Shopify store into a mobile app that provides their customers with an intuitive, fast, and immersive shopping experience.

Strategy Breakdown

We began with a UX audit of the client’s Shopify website to identify areas for improvement in mobile usability and retention. The app was designed with a clean, minimalist UI that reflects the brand’s identity while emphasizing fast navigation and immersive product displays.

Using the Shopify Storefront API, we ensured full synchronization between the mobile app and the online store — eliminating the need for manual updates.

Firebase and AWS integration provided a robust infrastructure for real-time notifications, analytics, and secure media storage. The result: a scalable, mobile-first eCommerce app that boosted engagement and conversion rates significantly.
