Migration to Shopify

Pactx proposed migrating the site to Shopify. Starting from the ground up, Shopify would not only provide a fresh look and feel for the site, but it would offer significant cost savings for the organization.

Site Simplification

The simple UI of Shopify was intuitive and saved the La Tourangelle marketing team a lot of time by allowing them to easily navigate the platform without needing a developer to make adjustments or updates. Additionally, the platform’s ease of use enabled them to create discount codes and leverage plugins to implement features without incurring hefty costs.
