About the Project

Made In Cookware is one of the fastest growing premium cookware brand on a mission to make high-quality kitchen essentials more accessible through a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model. As a web-only retailer, their success depended on a flawless online shopping experience, meticulous tracking, seamless product discovery, and a site built for high conversion rates and fast performance. They approached Spiral Scout to develop a Shopify Plus storefront that could support rapid growth, enhance customer engagement, and seamlessly integrate educational and social content—all while launching on a tight schedule.

The results? A high-performance eCommerce platform that helped them raise $8 million in seed funding and scale into one of the top-selling cookware brands in the U.S.

Objectives

  • Build a conversion-focused Shopify storefront with an engaging user experience.
  • Deliver a mobile-optimized eCommerce experience to capture more customers.
  • Implement custom Shopify features to enhance merchandising and marketing.
  • Integrate educational and social content to strengthen brand storytelling.

Challenges

Meeting a Tight Launch Deadline Without Sacrificing Quality

Made In Cookware needed a fully functional Shopify storefront developed, designed, and launched on an aggressive timeline to capitalize on growing consumer demand.

Solutions

Build Quick and Test

As a leading Shopify development company, we streamlined the development process by creating a rapid, iterative design workflow, ensuring that UI/UX decisions were made quickly while maintaining high standards. Our Shopify experts deployed a robust storefront with advanced product display features and checkout optimizations, enabling a smooth and intuitive customer journey.

Challenges

Maximizing Conversion Rates with a Seamless Shopping Experience

Without a physical store, every interaction on the site had to convert visitors into buyers while keeping the brand’s premium positioning intact.

Solutions

User-Centered Design

To deliver an outstanding e-commerce experience, we built a highly responsive and visually engaging storefront, optimizing page load speeds, mobile navigation, and checkout flows to reduce cart abandonment. Strategic placement of product recommendations, upsells, and trust-building elements helped maximize average order value (AOV) and repeat purchases.

Challenges

Integrating Educational and Social Content for Brand Loyalty

Made In needed to differentiate itself from competitors by leveraging content-driven commerce—blending storytelling, cooking tutorials, and social proof into the shopping experience.

Solutions

Seamless Content Integration

We developed a custom content integration framework within Shopify, allowing their team to effortlessly publish recipes, chef collaborations, and educational product videos directly on product pages. This approach boosted engagement, increased session time, and strengthened brand loyalty.
