The Challenge

Arcadia Retail's legacy e-commerce monolith averaged 6.2-second page loads on mobile, with a 73% bounce rate on product pages. The platform couldn't support the brand's expansion into new markets without full rebuilds per locale.

Our Approach

We migrated to a headless architecture with Shopify as the commerce engine, Next.js for the storefront, and a composable content layer for multi-market support. ISR ensures sub-second page loads without sacrificing personalization.

The Solution

Mobile page loads dropped to 2.1 seconds, bounce rate fell by 31%, and conversion rate improved by 23%. The headless architecture now supports 4 international storefronts from a single codebase.
