The Challenge

MìLà tasked GenovaWebArt to integrate a subscription model, create a Subscription page, and adjust products/collection pages accordingly. We also had to handle website rebranding, moving from TheXCJ to the new MìLà domain and completely replacing branding elements following the provided color scheme and fonts. Ultimately, the client demanded our ongoing support services, which we’ve been delivering consistently.

The Solution

Solving the challenges, we quickly and efficiently set up the Shopify theme and took control of its code quality. During the website rebranding process, GenovaWebArt implemented new styles, developed various landing pages, and collaborated with SEO optimization and marketing teams.

In the ongoing support process, we constantly expand the existing functionality of MìLà’s website. Leveraging JSON templates, we employ only the most relevant approaches and best practices in custom development. Notably, we updated the product page by introducing dynamic customization options that enable real-time changes to colors, icons, text, videos, and other elements based on the selected product variant.

Services We Delivered

GenovaWebArt has tackled plenty of tasks to help MìLà reach its eCommerce success:

Website Rebranding

Following the updated brand book, we revamped all Shopify theme styles to preserve the brand’s familiar look and feel while adapting to the complete rebranding requirements. Throughout the process, we developed landing pages according to the provided designs and simultaneously checked other pages, updating them to reflect the new brand identity.

Landing Page Creation and AB Testing

GenovaWebArt typically collaborates with a marketing strategy and AB testing team to deliver landing pages that convert. In the MìLà project, we enabled extensive landing page customization capabilities by strategically placing all essential components in a theme editor, ultimately creating multiple versions of pages using pre-designed templates — no additional development required.

Functional Product Page Templates Creation

A product page update was one of the functional enhancements GenovaWebArt offered to MìLà. Our main objective was to develop a product page where all information, from custom variant names to background colors, would dynamically change based on the selected variant. Using metafields, scripts, and custom code, we implemented a smooth process for creating new variants while ensuring seamless switching between options and real-time updates of images and text sections, prioritizing optimal speed for mobile device users.

Online Store 2.0 Migration

We migrated MìLà’s theme to the new Shopify feature, Sections Everywhere. That’s how we ensured up-to-date and user-friendly experience and simplified website management for employees.

Ongoing Support

Throughout our collaboration with MìLà, we’ve been constantly improving the website, making it more convenient for buyers and merchants. GenovaWebArt focuses on the latest technical updates and the best practices offered by Shopify.

Shopify Development We Delivered

Here is the Shopify development work that GenovaWebArt handled for MìLà:

Klaviyo Integration

MìLà gained additional insights for profile segmentation, analytics, and flows owing to our custom integration with Klaviyo. We also enabled seamless email communication by incorporating the contact and back-in-stock notification form into Klaviyo.

Subscription Integration

We integrated the Recharge app after MìLà decided to introduce subscriptions into their business model. During this, we considered the client’s specifics and requirements, which included additional customizations.

Brand Migration to a New Domain

During rebranding, we helped MìLà smoothly switch the domain from TheXCJ to eatmila.com. We also set up Google Search Console and Google Tag Manager and advised the client on correctly using redirects.
