Wonder 3D Prints
TL;DR
Designed a custom ecommerce experience for Wonder 3D Prints that balances brand personality with conversion optimization. Built in Lovable for the design and powered by Shopify for the backend, creating a storefront that felt fun and creative while maintaining the trust and functionality customers expect when purchasing online.
My Role
I led the end-to-end design process, from understanding the brand and user needs to creating a custom ecommerce experience. I balanced creative expression with usability, ensuring the design felt authentic to Wonder 3D Prints while meeting ecommerce best practices for conversion and trust.
About the Project
Wonder 3D Prints creates unique, custom 3D printed products. Their brand is fun, creative, and approachable—but they needed an ecommerce site that could showcase this personality while building trust with customers making online purchases.
The design challenge: How do you make a creative brand feel authentic online while ensuring customers feel confident purchasing? Standard Shopify themes felt too generic and didn't capture the brand's unique character, but we also needed the reliability and functionality of a proven ecommerce platform.
The Solution
A fully custom ecommerce experience built on Shopify's reliable infrastructure, giving us complete design control to create a storefront that authentically represents the brand while maintaining the trust signals and functionality customers expect.
Key design decisions focused on balancing creativity with conversion: playful but professional, unique but familiar, creative but trustworthy.
Final Design
Lovable & Shopify Integration
The checkout process demonstrates the seamless connection between Lovable's custom frontend and Shopify's ecommerce backend. The custom design flows directly into Shopify's secure checkout system, showing how the two platforms work together.
