Northwind Retail
A custom WooCommerce storefront rebuilt for speed, with a checkout flow redesigned around conversion — engineered to turn browsers into buyers.
Northwind Retail's existing storefront was slow, and its checkout added friction at exactly the moment customers were ready to buy. Cart abandonment was high, and the WooCommerce setup underneath it hadn't been built with performance or conversion in mind.
The challenge wasn't just a redesign — it was rebuilding an active, revenue-generating store without disrupting the business that depended on it.
