Atrac

Project Details

BKThemes executed a full-stack Shopify migration and custom theme development for Atrac. This project involved migrating product catalogs and customer data from a legacy platform to Shopify Online Store 2.0, implementing custom Liquid blocks for visual storytelling, and optimizing site speed for mobile-first social media traffic.

Project Overview

What challenges did Atrac face?

Atrac needed more than just a place to host products; they needed a site that explained why their patented designs are essential.

The Migration Hurdle: Safely moving customer data, SEO equity, and product catalogs from their legacy platform to Shopify without downtime.
Visual Storytelling: Their products are tactile and magnetic; the website needed high-quality motion and imagery to 'show, not just tell.'
Mobile Efficiency: Catering to an on-the-go audience that primarily shops via social media referrals on mobile devices.

How did we optimize the Shopify website for performance?

We leveraged Shopify’s latest 'Online Store 2.0' features to give the Atrac team total control over their brand narrative.

Custom Product Sections: Developed modular Liquid blocks that allow the client to mix-and-merge video demonstrations with technical product specs.
Sticky 'Add to Cart' Logic: Implemented a high-conversion mobile sticky bar to ensure the 'Buy' button is always within thumb-reach as users scroll through lifestyle photography.
Speed & Performance SEO: Drastically reduced 'Time to Interactive', 'Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)', and 'Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)' by optimizing JavaScript execution and using Shopify’s native CDN for global image delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How was SEO equity preserved during Atrac's migration to Shopify?

BKThemes conducted a comprehensive URL mapping and 301 redirect strategy before migrating Atrac from their legacy platform to Shopify. This process transferred existing search engine authority, indexed pages, and keyword rankings without traffic loss or ranking drops.

How do custom Liquid blocks support visual storytelling for tactile products?

To highlight Atrac's patented magnetic accessories, the team developed custom, modular Shopify Online Store 2.0 Liquid sections. These allow the brand to pair high-definition video demonstrations alongside technical product specifications for seamless visual commerce.

What mobile optimizations were added to improve social media referral conversions?

Recognizing that most buyers arrive from mobile social channels, BKThemes built a mobile-optimized sticky 'Add to Cart' bar. This keeps the primary CTA accessible throughout the scrolling experience, reducing friction and boosting mobile conversion rates.

How did performance tuning improve site speed on Shopify’s global CDN?

The team optimized JavaScript execution, removed bloated app scripts, and configured responsive image delivery via Shopify’s native CDN. These technical refinements reduced 'Time to Interactive' (TTI), 'Largest Contentful Paint' (LCP), 'Cumulative Layout Shift' (CLS), and optimized Core Web Vitals for global shoppers.
