Project Description
We partnered with DukesHill to transform their eCommerce platform into a system capable of supporting high-value transactions, complex product structures, and seasonal demand spikes, while maintaining a seamless customer experience. The focus was not just on improving the storefront, but on solving critical business challenges around product management, delivery logistics, and conversion efficiency.
Brand
DukesHill is a premium British food brand known for its traditionally cured meats, artisan produce, and luxury hampers. With a legacy rooted in craftsmanship and quality, the brand serves a discerning customer base that values authenticity, gifting experiences, and high-end food products.
Operating in a competitive direct-to-consumer market, DukesHill requires a digital platform that not only reflects its premium positioning but also supports complex operational and logistical needs.
Challenge
DukesHill operates within a complex product ecosystem, offering a diverse range of items from fresh meats to curated hampers, each with unique requirements for pricing, packaging, and fulfillment, making it essential to build a scalable structure without complicating the user experience. Additionally, strict delivery timelines for perishable goods require carefully designed logistics that align with operational constraints while remaining intuitive for customers. A large portion of purchases are gifting-driven, necessitating features like custom messaging, flexible delivery dates, and multi-address handling, all while keeping the checkout process smooth. This is further challenged by significant seasonal traffic spikes during holidays, demanding a platform that can maintain performance and stability under high load. At the same time, effective product discovery across a large and expanding catalog requires well-structured collections and filtering systems to help users quickly find relevant products and reduce decision fatigue.
Core Focuses

Aligning platform behavior with real-world operational workflows.
Scalable Product Architecture:

Conversion Optimization:

Solution
We engineered a flexible product architecture capable of supporting standard products, bundles, and curated hampers while maintaining a seamless user experience. Custom delivery logic was developed to manage perishable shipping constraints and allow users to select appropriate delivery dates. To support gifting behavior, we introduced enhanced checkout features such as personalized messaging and flexible delivery options. Product discovery was improved through structured collections and advanced filtering, while site performance was optimized to handle high traffic during peak seasons. Additionally, the checkout flow was streamlined to reduce friction and support smoother high-value transactions.
