Best-in-Class e-commerce Shopping experience Designed from the ground up

Overview
Lume needed a complete redesign of its outdated website to deliver a best-in-class e-commerce experience that matched the quality of its in-store shopping.

The Problem
The original website struggled with product display, lack of user experience, and outdated technology. Lume executives sought an online experience that captured the richness of its in-store experience.

The Challenge
Presenting complex product information clearly while replicating the immersive, high-quality in-store experience online.

The Solution
We prioritized and delivered a best-in-class e-commerce platform streamlining key mobile and desktop interactions. This includes: clear navigation, enhanced product marketing cards, seamless add to cart and checkout, account creation, loyalty program, giving the audience an informed shopping experience.

The Impact
The redesign resulted in nearly $200 million in growth, establishing Lume as a leading cannabis retailer.
