About the project

Redesign of the official online store of illycaffè in Bulgaria, which we have maintained since 2023.

A new structure that follows how customers search for coffee, clearer product pages and shopping designed for the phone first, without interrupting the ERP, courier and marketing integrations.

The challenge

A working store with untapped potential

After the migration from Magento in 2023, the store ran reliably. But its look, mobile shopping and structure no longer matched illycaffè’s premium positioning or the goal of more new and repeat orders. Individual improvements fixed specific problems, but they could not change the store as a whole.

  1. Premium brand, ordinary store

    Individual improvements fixed specific problems, but they could not change the store as a whole.

  2. Over 80% of visits come from search

    Every change to categories and URLs put organic visibility at risk.

  3. Integrations that never stop

    Real-time ERP sync, couriers and Ordinance N-18 could not stop even for a day.

The goal A clearer, more effective path to purchase, without losing the store's organic visibility, data or day-to-day operations

Our approach

  1. Step 1: Diagnosis before design

    Keyword research and analysis of GA4, Search Console, competitors and store data to define the structure and priorities.

  2. Step 2: Structure based on search

    New categories and category pages for coffee, capsules, machines and accessories, organized around the words customers use to search.

  3. Step 3: Content

    New category and product descriptions, written for customers and for search engines.

  4. Step 4: Designing the path to purchase

    New home, category and product pages with clearer navigation, a premium look and shopping designed for the phone first.

  5. Step 5: Integrations

    ERP sync, Speedy and Ordinance N-18 kept in place, plus new courier and marketing integrations and GA4 sales tracking.

  6. Step 6: Protection at launch

    Redirects for the changed structure, canonicals, structured data and monitoring after launch.

Key solutions

  • Categories built around search

    The new category pages became the main entry points from Google. The pages for illy coffee and coffee beans rank on average in positions 4 to 5.

  • A product page with everything needed to decide

    SKU, description, price, delivery time, payment methods, the store's benefits, technical specifications, reviews and related products in one place.

  • Reviews in exchange for a promo code

    Buyers receive a promo code for leaving a review, and reviews appear on the product pages. As of August 2026, the store has 1,190 ratings with an average of 4.93 out of 5.

  • Integrations the store cannot run without

    Orders and stock levels sync with the ERP in real time. The store is connected to Speedy, complies with Ordinance N-18 and sends branded emails.

How it was measured

Period: June 13, 2024 to June 12, 2025 vs. June 13, 2025 to June 12, 2026 (excluding launch day)

Source: WooCommerce Analytics for orders and sales (excluding pending, cancelled and failed orders); GA4 for visits and organic search. Sales converted to euros at a rate of 1.95583.

This comparison is not a controlled experiment: prices, promotions, stock and product mix also play a role. Average order value is 3% lower, so the growth comes from more orders. We describe what the store recorded after the redesign without claiming the redesign is the only cause.
