Challenge

Solid foundations for artisan quality

Ed Red is a brand offering handcrafted artisan preserves, known for their restaurant-quality taste. As technical issues began to slow the store down and new features kept getting stuck in the queue, the team reached out to Hyper Effekt for help.

A detailed tech audit revealed fundamental architectural issues. As a result, we rebuilt the store from the ground up, covering development, configuration and UX improvements.

Solution

Breaking free from limiting architecture

Ed Red’s store relied on an external frontend that wasn’t working well in practice. We replaced it with a fully Liquid-based custom theme, creating a cleaner foundation that enables deeper customization, better app integration and simpler day-to-day management.

We also removed unnecessary apps that had been compensating for poor architecture. This reduced complexity, improved performance and made store management more intuitive for the internal team.

Solution

Expanding beyond direct-to-consumer

Once the store architecture was rebuilt and the brand was ready to expand, we added a dedicated B2B page and Store Locator. This enabled more effective communication with wholesale partners and retail customers, making it easier to grow beyond the DTC channel.
