Challenge 01

Take back control of the store

Years of add-ons made the store hard to evolve. Every offer and every promo had to go through the agency.

Challenge 02

Unify the visual identity

Components no longer looked alike and the brand look had drifted. The store needed one consistent design system, built on native components.

Challenge 03

Zero conversion loss

Cygnes has years of winning tests behind it. The redesign had to keep every gain, and prove it with data.

A technical base that had hit its limits

Cygnes is a well-known French DTC brand of run-proof tights, working with The Deployer for years. Its store still ran on the first version of Theme FullStack, with layers of code and add-ons bolted on outside the theme over time.

The result: components that no longer matched, a drifting visual identity, fragile translations, and an agency ticket for every new offer. The goal set with founder Axel: go back to 100% native components with as little extra code as possible, without losing a single point of conversion.

lamp case study context

Instead of promising the redesign wouldn't hurt conversion, we A/B tested it against the old theme, 50/50, for 18 days.

Rebuild exactly as is.
Then make it better.

The golden rule of a successful migration: don't start from scratch. We first faithfully replicated the existing setup to protect performance, then leveraged FullStack's native capabilities to eliminate friction points.

A/B test: old theme vs new theme

Intelligems test from October 9 to 26, 2026: 50% of traffic on the old theme, 50% on the redesign, around 31,800 visitors per variant.

Rollout to 100% of traffic

96.8% confidence, with the same trend on mobile, desktop, new and returning visitors: the redesign went live for all traffic and testing resumed on top of it.

Why FullStack was the right decision

The FullStack Theme is not a generic theme. It is 6 years of expertise condensed into a single codebase — 100% proprietary and built for performance.

01

Native components = less technical friction

Every feature is built natively into the theme. No conflicting third-party apps, no asynchronous loading, no hidden technical debt.

02

6 years of expertise condensed into every line of code

FullStack is 100% proprietary code — not a third-party base, not a fork. It is the culmination of 6 years of cross-functional expertise: Shopify development, CRO, UX design, A/B testing, analytics, marketing, and human psychology.

03

Operational freedom for internal teams

Migration empowers teams to iterate independently without external dependencies. Every FullStack update automatically enhances your store.

“We've done hundreds of redesigns, we know what it takes to keep conversion flat. On Cygnes, we put it to an A/B test: it actually went up by more than 10%.”
