Bodega
- Project Introduction
Bodega
Bodega built its reputation on delivering distinctive, immersive retail experiences at its physical locations. However, the streetwear and sneaker brand's e-commerce site ran on inefficient code, suffered from excessive application dependencies and frequently crashed during limited-edition product releases. This technical instability created a stark contrast between Bodega's acclaimed in-store experience and its underperforming digital presence, driving customer abandonment during critical sales moments.

Discovery
Multiple freelance developers had modified Bodega's site over time, but none possessed the expertise or scope to execute the comprehensive overhaul the platform required. By the time Coldsmoke audited the codebase, technical debt had accumulated significantly. The theme had fallen behind Shopify's platform updates, while code inefficiencies, unoptimized media assets and redundant application installations created slow load times, poor user experience and depressed conversion rates.
Deliverables
We collaborated with branding and design firm, Outline, to create a site that was easy for customers to navigate, seamless for the Mashburn team to maintain, and functionally scalable to support Mashburn's growth.
The final theme is a heavily customized Shopify theme built from scratch. It includes complex functionality to support their tailored "made-to-measure" shirts, allowing customers to bring the experience of a custom-tailored shirt to the comfort of their own home.
The final result is an ecommerce store that unlocks future growth for the brand, and allows Sid and Ann Mashburn to worry less about site stability and focus more on their customers and sending them on their way clothed and in their right minds...
“I find that Coldsmoke has a genuine passion for what they do and they care about the work they put in. They are driven by results and it shows in their approach to taking on projects and seeing them through.”
