A look at the client
Sanctuary is a US-based beauty startup owned by Scentbird. It is a perfume manufacturer offering various fragrances named after animal species. Besides achieving business success, the company's mission is also to preserve wildlife and protect threatened species. When a customer buys a product named after an endangered animal, 20% goes to protect it.
Working with Sanctuary extends our experience across the Scentbird portfolio. We've previously supported two of its other brands, Deck of Scarlet and Goodhabit, so we came in familiar with the ecosystem and standards.

The client's challenge
The main client's objective was to develop a Shopify Plus store through Shopify web development services that would help to achieve two primary goals:
A fantastic customer experience,
The ability to donate money to charity funds.
With the new website, visitors could easily buy perfumes, learn about the product, and leave feedback. Trust signals and efficient checkout increase Shopify sales. In return, Sanctuary raises awareness of global environmental issues.

Our solutions: How we developed a Shopify Plus store?
We built a Shopify Plus store that met the client’s expectations with a clean and intuitive interface. Pages load quickly, even when rich in content, which helps facilitate conversations with customers and improves search performance. The client also required Shopify theme customization to develop an eye-catching outlook. To deliver that, we added a custom scroll line that appears as shoppers move through each page.

On the UX side, we also:
Wrote fresh logic for the scroll line to keep motion smooth and purposeful,
Provided a component that strengthens the vibe of the brand and directs interest across sections.
Our Shopify web design services ensure visitors stay engaged while giving the website a fresh and distinctive look. Every site now represents the brand's excellence, functions seamlessly on any device, and features a simple and balanced information layout.

The outcomes: Shopify Plus store for a perfume manufacturer
Now, Sanctuary has a Shopify Plus store that captures the essence of the brand and gives the opportunity to communicate with visitors better. We developed an attractive and flexible website that helps boost the D2C journey. Our client reaps the benefits, as now they have:
Improved interface design for more logical visual distribution,
Increased recurring revenue,
A possibility to scale the launch of new products.

The project was completed within the budget and satisfied all the client's requirements. Also, we’re proud that we managed to deliver the project within a tight timeframe of 1.5 months, as it was highly important to our client.
