The challenge

The Lakes Distillery wanted a new website to strengthen their online presence and enhance user experience, aligning aesthetically and technically with their established brand. The new design needed to provide a seamless user interface allowing easy product browsing and tour booking, while reflecting their strong brand identity.

Additionally, improving the mobile experience was a top priority, emphasizing fast and responsive loading to serve the growing number of mobile users visiting the website.

Our approach

In-depth discovery

We began with in-depth discovery workshops, collaborating closely with The Lakes Distillery team to understand their brand, audience, and business goals. These insights shaped a custom design that elevated the brand’s premium positioning while remaining adaptable and scalable for future growth.

Seamless migration

Our performance specialists planned and executed a carefully managed migration. This ensured the switch to a new platform preserved organic visibility and minimized disruption, protecting traffic and accessibility throughout the replatforming.

The result

The final site balances strong technical performance with a refined, premium user experience. Replatforming to Shopify Plus delivered more efficient systems, allowing the internal team to focus less on platform management and more on brand and growth.

The new website supports higher customer lifetime value, improves retention, and provides a future-ready foundation for The Lakes Distillery’s ongoing expansion—both online and beyond.
