  • Performance Concerns: Users faced slow website loading times, especially on mobile , which caused them to drop off from pages more frequently.

Our Approach

The ShopX team conducted a deep technical audit of the existing WooCommerce site, assessing page structures, plugins, and order data to plan a clean migration path. Our team collaborated closely with BuiltbySwift’s stakeholders to ensure content mapping, branding continuity, and frontend behavior met expectations.

We followed the Agile method, executing sprint-based development with QA cycles. Performance benchmarks were established before WooCommerce to Shopify migration to ensure transparency and measurable gains.
