Process

How We Engineered the LUX Website

Search
Strategize & Design
We began with a competitor audit and strategic onboarding forms to unify the brand voice and recreate a consistent color palette across all logos. After refining the visual identity, we transitioned from low-fidelity Figma wireframes to a high-fidelity interface designed for a luxury user experience.
Building
Technical Build & CMS Set up
The site was custom-built on Squarespace to provide the founders with a robust, user-friendly CMS for managing inventory and POS integrations. We optimized the platform’s backend with extensive image compression and code cleanup to ensure peak performance within the Squarespace environment.
Gear
Feature Engineering
To elevate the boutique feel, we injected custom CSS for unique button styling, a refined mobile menu, and a bespoke wholesale portal. We also engineered a secure customer login area to manage recurring subscriptions alongside a frictionless one-time checkout process.
Shield
QA &
Deployment
The final phase involved rigorous end-to-end testing of the subscription engine and e-commerce workflows to ensure a flawless customer journey. We concluded with a Google Lighthouse audit to secure perfect scores in SEO and Accessibility, providing a high-performance foundation for launch.

The Scalable Hybrid Storefront

To support LUX’s growth from local markets to a national brand, we engineered a "Triple-Threat" digital storefront. Rather than a basic retail template, this is a custom-coded business engine designed to capture three distinct revenue streams simultaneously:

  • The Artisanal Retail Shop: A frictionless, mobile-first checkout experience designed for high-conversion one-time purchases and gifting.
  • Recurring Subscriptions: A "set-and-forget" monthly delivery system that builds long-term customer loyalty and predictable monthly revenue.
  • Strategic Wholesale Inquiry Page: A dedicated B2B page featuring a custom lead-capture system. This allow the founders to professionally vet bulk-order partners and corporate clients without the back-and-forth of manual emails.

By integrating these three pillars into a single, unified dashboard, we’ve empowered LUX to manage their entire business from inventory to customer relations in one place. This "Better Assembly" approach ensures the site isn't just a beautiful portfolio, but a scalable tool that grows alongside their family legacy.

From Concept to Scalable Storefront

In 8 weeks, we launched a "Digital Powerhouse" for LUX. By focusing on a "mobile-first" assembly, we ensured their customers have a luxury experience whether they are buying a single candle or a monthly almond subscription.

While third-party platforms often limit raw speed, we pushed the technical boundaries to achieve 100/100 scores in both SEO and Accessibility. The site is fully optimized, user-friendly, and perfectly positioned to help this young family grow their artisanal vision into a household name.

To ensure LUX felt confident taking the reins, we concluded the project by delivering a comprehensive Owners Toolkit. This custom-curated kit includes their refined brand guidelines, high-resolution assets, bridging the gap between their new digital storefront and their physical presence in the local market.
