Project overview

  • After a few months of conversion rate optimization, it became apparent that the brand had grown so fast on a technical foundation that was not engineered for scale.
  • With the clock ticking ahead of Holiday, we designed, built, and launched a fully custom Shopify theme that led to a 51% increase in Checkouts Reached.
  • The new site realized upticks in conversion and huge productivity gains for site merch and ops teams who were hamstrung by the old site.
  • A few years later, as HEYDUDE refreshed its branding and looked to bring that evolution to life on the site. Our role as a long-term partner meant we were trusted once again to deliver a high-performance rebuild that aligned with their next stage of growth.

With zero margin for error, Sparky delivered the entire HEYDUDE project in under three months — seamlessly executing advanced custom integrations with Fast Simon, Narvar, and a suite of third-party systems to build a high-performance storefront that could scale with one of the fastest-growing Shopify Plus brands in the world.

HEYDUDE experienced a 51% increase in “Checkouts Reached” YOY post-launch.
