Nicobar: Developing a Custom Theme for a Luxury Brand

Challenges

Nicobar wanted to enhance the shopping experience and optimize their website’s performance with a modernized theme architecture. The client required a customized, flexible storefront with advanced product filtering, geolocation-based content, and multilingual support to improve user engagement and conversions.

Additionally, the company needed to streamline customer authentication, introduce a loyalty program, and enable a seamless global shopping experience through a country switcher feature. The challenge was to integrate these new functionalities while ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience.

- Collection and search filtering in a Shopify search and discovery app for easy product discovery
- Geolocation-based content display
- Translation language label
