The more unique and eye-catching a design is, the more pleasure it brings us to see it live. So today we\u2019d like to tell you about a case from our collaboration with a creative studio that commissioned us to implement their amazing design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-client\">The Client&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As they describe themselves on their website, Stay.gold is \u201ca multidisciplinary creative studio offering on-demand strategy &amp; design sprints to uncover, amplify, and actualize emerging insights.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company offers a long list of services, starting from market analysis, brand building, and consumer research to visual interface and digital identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay.gold is our long-standing client, and over the years we have successfully completed numerous joint projects together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-project\">The Project&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The US handmade jewelry brand <a href=\"https:\/\/younginthemountains.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Young In the Mountains<\/a> engaged Stay.gold to revamp their Shopify Plus-powered website&nbsp;to bring&nbsp; their creative ideas to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project kicked off with Stay.gold handling the design and strategy parts while P2H was asked to <strong>oversee the eCommerce development and to consult on best practices <\/strong>throughout the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design and experience were as unique as the brand itself: large imagery, typography, engaging videos, and subtle animations throughout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the project was to create an informative and engaging website where customers could learn about the philosophy and science behind the products while also being able to create a truly unique jewelry piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-solution\">The Solution&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to achieve the objective, we built the following custom functionality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"product-customizer\">Product Customizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We developed the Product Customizer from scratch by implementing customizer sections and blocks (to generate the customizer steps). This allows the user to create their own unique product using predefined options. After choosing the desired option in each step, you are then directed to the Custom Product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a customer may choose to \u201cconstruct\u201d a unique ring instead of purchasing something available in stock by following these steps:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose the type of ring desired such as a loose gemstone&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick a specific stone, e.g., wild rose sapphire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the metal color, e.g., 14k Yellow Gold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide on the band style such as the Black Diamond Milky Way.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these steps are complete, the total price is calculated immediately. All that\u2019s left is to add the ring to the cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a \u2018Save My Design\u2019 custom feature used to share with others the options chosen in the&nbsp;build steps or to share the entire generated product by sending them a link via email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"product-properties\">Product Properties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each product, even a custom one, has its own properties with different options which can affect the total price. All properties are defined in the meta fields. To achieve that, we also used metafields to define the additional price for each option. For instance, a ring has its own set of metafields while a bracelet has its own, and so forth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, we also used Shopify Scripts accessible to Shopify Plus subscribers only in order to write a script for recalculating the price at the checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"retailers-map\">Retailers Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A list of retailers has been connected to <strong>customized <\/strong>Google Maps on the website. That\u2019s a super handy feature for everyone who wants to find out the exact address of a particular vendor with just a couple of clicks. This feature was&nbsp; built completely without the use of any apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-features\">Other Features&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Custom Mini Cart Drawer (built from scratch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Product Tabs, Product Recommendations, Stone Selector (property displayed as a gallery with stones)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accordion-based FAQ page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Background Video sections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom SlideShow on the homepage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shopify-apps\">Shopify Apps&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We also leveraged the power of the most popular Shopify apps to provide several additional features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instafeed-app\">Instafeed App<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To expand the reach of the brand\u2019s Instagram page to the website\u2019s visitors and gain more followers and likes, we used the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/instafeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instafeed app<\/a> with a customized display of the feed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mailchimp\">Mailchimp&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To capture leads and secure more subscriptions, we integrated one of the most popular Shopify email marketing apps into the store &#8211;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/mailchimp?surface_detail=mailchipm&amp;surface_inter_position=1&amp;surface_intra_position=1&amp;surface_type=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mailchimp<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drop-a-hint\">Drop a hint&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To let the brand\u2019s customers refer a product to friends or anyone else easily, we integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/drop-a-hint-2?surface_detail=Drop+a+hint&amp;surface_inter_position=1&amp;surface_intra_position=5&amp;surface_type=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drop a hint<\/a> &#8211; a powerful link share feature (including custom generated products). This option is very popular among jewelry store customers. For example, people looking for a gift may want to send a link to ask for someone\u2019s opinion regarding a certain piece that they noticed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"product-filter-search\">Product Filter &amp; Search&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To facilitate the search and filtering of the products on the brand\u2019s website, we integrated the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/product-filter-search?surface_detail=product+filter+%26+search&amp;surface_inter_position=1&amp;surface_intra_position=4&amp;surface_type=search\">Product Filter &amp; Search <\/a>app and <strong>customized <\/strong>its display view according to the designs provided.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-outcome\">The Outcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the rest of the projects we did for Stay.gold, the revamp of the YITM brand\u2019s website left everyone satisfied and happy.
