The Challenge

Adidas Combat Sports needed a fast, reliable fix ahead of Black Friday. Their WooCommerce site was slowing them down—plagued by technical issues, sluggish load times, and clunky product management.

We recommended a full migration to Shopify to give them a scalable, high-performing platform built for growth. The catch? It had to launch in just 10 weeks—right in time for their biggest sales season of the year.

Our Approach

We implemented a structured five-sprint process over 10 weeks, focusing on:

Weekly stand-ups for accountability
Regular progress presentations
Comprehensive data mapping and template creation
Rapid data import to facilitate immediate development

This approach ensured a seamless transition, positioning Adidas Combat Sports for a successful holiday season.

The Process & Solution

Data mapping & migration

We mapped every WooCommerce feature to its Shopify equivalent, including a cost analysis of new apps for full transparency. Custom product templates ensured clean, accurate data transfer for a seamless catalog migration.

Custom theme development

To improve UX, we built dynamic product images and visual filter swatches. We also developed intuitive product detail page layouts, enhanced category pages, and a flexible banner system—all aligned with the brand’s visual identity.

Visual merchandising upgrades

We refined the shopping experience with dynamic banners, custom swatches, visually enhanced filters, and optimized imagery for speed and clarity.

Business Impact

Delivered on time. Performed beyond expectations.
We launched the site on schedule, just in time for Black Friday, achieving the following results:

127% year-over-year revenue growth
71% increase in orders
26% boost in conversion rate
