How We Crafted a Bespoke Shopify Theme to Launch 6Percent Wine

Who It Is For/Who It Is Not For –

This case study is for ambitious brands seeking a sophisticated online presence to elevate their brand identity and drive sales.

If you're a well-established brand content with a basic website, this might not be the most relevant solution for you. Make sure to check out our CRO (Revenue Growth Partner) case studies for a solution better suited for you.

However, if you're a new brand or one looking to refresh your image and capture a wider audience online, then keep reading.

Backstory –

6Percent Wine approached us with a dream: to establish a strong online presence that reflected their passion for premium low-alcohol wines.

They lacked a website entirely and needed a fast solution that would not only showcase their product beautifully but also provide a seamless user experience for online wine purchases.

Process (What/Why/How) –

Understanding the Brand

We began by conducting in-depth discussions with the 6Percent Wine team to grasp their brand vision, target audience, and desired functionalities for the website.

Then, to identify areas for differentiation, we conducted market research and analyzed competitor websites.

Crafting a High-Fidelity Design

Based on our findings, we designed a custom Shopify theme that prioritized user experience.

This included the following pages:

  • Homepage
  • Product Page
  • About Us Page
  • Contact Us Page
  • Business Queries Page
  • News & Events Page (Blog)
  • Cart Drawer

The design has a clean and minimalistic look, is mobile responsive, contains high-quality images, and offers intuitive navigation and a streamlined and optimized checkout process.

The design also incorporated 6Percent's unique branding elements such as the custom color palette consisting of a mix between red, dark grey, and platinum, descriptive icons, and copywriting targeted at the brand's specific buyer persona.

Optimizing for Conversions

We implemented conversion-focused elements throughout the website such as clear calls to action, social proof, benefit-driven copywriting, strategic product placement, and objection handling through FAQs and guarantees.

Implementing the Design

Once the high-fidelity design has been finalized, we brought it to life by implementing it into Shopify using its native programming language (Shopify Liquid) to ensure maximum efficiency.

At this stage, we focused on creating a smooth user experience all while maintaining a low site load speed.

How did it translate?  –

The custom Shopify theme we designed for 6Percent Wine resulted in a website that not only reflected their brand essence but also functioned as a powerful sales tool.

Here's how:

  • Enhanced Brand Image: The website's clean design and high-quality visuals elevated 6Percent Wine's brand image, portraying them as a premium and trustworthy wine distributor.
  • Improved User Experience: The intuitive navigation and mobile-friendliness ensured a smooth and enjoyable browsing experience for customers.
  • Successful Online Presence: By streamlining the checkout process and implementing conversion optimization strategies, the website is ready for an uptick in sales and revenue.

Summary –

By collaborating closely with 6Percent Wine and leveraging our expertise in Shopify theme development, we were able to create a website that:

  • Embodied their brand identity
  • Provided a seamless user experience
  • Streamlined the checkout process
  • Ensured a successful online presence

OUR APPROACH

Your Website Owes You Money - This Is How We Get It Back For You

We start with data

Before we begin working on improving your brand’s website, we must first understand where it’s going wrong.

We look at quantitative and qualitative sources of data to identify leaks in your funnel and then form a hypothesis on how to improve them.

Create a customised revenue growth roadmap

Fail to plan, plan to fail! We believe scaling from multi 6 to multi 7 figures is a simply a process.

But this looks different for everyone. So we create a specialised revenue growth roadmap focussed on 15 key areas of growth opportunity.

We spot problems

We keep an ongoing list of findings from multiple different sources of data. This allows us to interconnect findings and gain deeper insights on your website behaviour and customers.

We A/B Test

Testing allows us to take the guesswork out of growth. Our average win rate is 80%. But even in the losses, we see those as losses-avoided and learn from them.

I just have to say that working with you guys was absolutely fantastic! I can honestly say that it was the best experience I’ve ever had working with a developer/agency. Your team made everything crystal-clear, and the entire process was smooth as butter. You truly went above and beyond, explaining everything in detail - which was incredibly helpful. Compared to my past experiences with other agencies, I must say, you guys definitely exceeded my expectations. And kudos to the Loom video! It was super helpful in navigating the changes that were made. Thanks a bunch, and I can’t wait to work with you again!

Had a really positive experience working with Step Labs. They went above and beyond to provide customizations to meet my wishlist, shared great insights on how to improve my site speed, and worked incredibly fast. I really appreciated the team working late nights/early mornings to accommodate my PST timezone from the UK - that meant so much! I liked having a slack channel with them for ease of communication and felt like they have a great grasp on site development/design. would definitely recommend!

Working with Step Labs was a very smooth process. Their team helped us to better define our place amogst our competitors with some great workshops.

These not only helped our perception of our website, but also our plans for the future of our brand. Beyond that, when it came to design and development, the team excelled.

They were very thorough throughout the design stage and extraordinarily quick to get development underway and finished.

We now have a beautiful website that not only looks good but is also strong in user experience and conversions.

From beginning to end Step Labs not only grasped the vision and projection of Checkmates but helped create a product that encapsulated the story behind the brand too.

I wanted to work with a team who listened to our ideas and took them to the next level. Step labs did not disappoint, creating designs that went above and beyond all expectations. Matthew and his team became involved in many different areas within our startup including; UI and UX design, website design, pitch deck formatting and strategy.

All of which was done on deadline to the highest of standards. I couldn’t recommend Matthew and his team at Step Labs enough.

Having worked with Step Labs on several occasions, one thing becomes overwhelmingly clear: they have boundless desire and will to help clients achieve their absolute best, and the results they achieve can truly help a nascent company, startup, or platform in delivering what is needed.

Their work rate is incomparable and you really will be getting a service that will outcompete any potential alternatives.

From day 1 of our engagement with the Step Labs team, they were committed to bringing our ideas to life within a short period of time.

Their strategy process was comprehensive and multi-faceted; Step Labs facilitated several engaging and valuable workshops with key members of our team to understand our direction of travel and ambitions.

Matt and the Step Labs team are extremely talented and understand all the UX and UI principles to design a high-quality website that looks amazing and flows to ensure the best user experience.

We've been impressed with Step Labs attention to detail and meticulous nature throughout the process. They listened to what we wanted and have suggested ideas and features to push creative boundaries. Working with Step Labs has been a pleasure.
