Problem

Underperforming themes blocking growth

D2C brands on Shopify often outgrow their original theme — slow homepages, bloated assets, and missing page templates for new launch flows like preorders. Solara's live storefront had a homepage scoring 36 on performance metrics and no dedicated product page template for preorder campaigns.

Action

Targeted theme revamp and template builds

Revamped Solara's homepage for speed and conversion with focused site speed optimization — auditing render-blocking assets, deferring non-critical scripts, and optimizing image delivery — then built a custom PDP preorder template to support upcoming kitchen and home product launches.
