Project: Shopify Store Development for The A Method
Overview
The A Method is a dermatologist-founded skincare brand. We are seeking an experienced Shopify developer or agency to assist in migrating and redesigning our existing e-commerce store from WordPress to Shopify. Our goal is to simplify site management, enhance mobile responsiveness, and create a refined, modern shopping experience ahead of upcoming marketing campaigns and increased site traffic.

Current State
Our current e-commerce operations run on a WordPress platform, which has presented ongoing performance and usability issues. To streamline operations and support future growth, we intend to transition to Shopify. (Note: The Shopify store associated with the provided contact email is not our active storefront—it was created for a prior promotion.)

Migrate from WordPress to Shopify, ensuring all relevant product data, order history (as applicable), and customer information are transferred accurately.
Ensure seamless redirects and link preservation to maintain SEO continuity.
Design & Development

Develop a clean, modern, and mobile-first Shopify theme aligned with The A Method brand aesthetic.
Simplify the product catalog to a focused collection of 11 SKUs.
Create an intuitive, conversion-optimized user experience with clear navigation and strong product presentation.
Functionality

Implement best practices for product filtering, variant handling, and checkout flow.
Integrate essential apps for analytics, reviews, email capture, and customer support as needed.
SEO & Performance Optimization

Conduct on-page SEO setup including meta tags, schema markup, and image optimization.
Ensure fast load times, clean URLs, and optimized site structure to support organic growth.
Provide recommendations for ongoing SEO improvement and keyword strategy.
Testing & Launch Support

Conduct cross-browser and mobile device testing.
Assist with go-live and ensure smooth transition post-launch.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Web traffic increased, the time people spent on the sites increased and our revenue increased. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Lantern Sol’s team was a pleasure to work with—organized, responsive, and proactive. They managed the project efficiently, kept momentum throughout, and seamlessly adapted as our needs evolved. Their communication and flexibility made the entire process smooth and productive.

What was your primary form of communication with LanternSol?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most about working with Lantern Sol was how quickly they grasped our industry—despite having no prior background in skincare or aesthetics—and hit the ground running. Their SEO work has been exceptional, producing educational, well-written blogs and web content that truly add value and authority to our brand.

Are there any areas for improvement or something LanternSol could have done differently?

Honestly, the only “challenge” I’ve had is not being able to work with Lantern Sol on more projects! Our internal bandwidth and budget are the limiting factors — not theirs. I’d love to see them offer scalable bundle options or tiered packages for ongoing partnerships. They’re such a great team to collaborate with that my only frustration is not being able to bring them in on more.
