Their Story: OESD

Founded in 1987, OESD (Oklahoma Embroidery Supply & Design) quickly established itself as a leader in premium embroidery design. Their ecommerce store, embroideryonline.com, caters to both novices and seasoned embroiderers, presenting a vast array of designs, supplies, and accessories. With a presence online and across 700+ retail partners worldwide, OESD emphasizes quality and the artistry behind each stitch, making them a trusted partner in the embroiderer's craft.

The Challenge: Modernizing an Established BigCommerce Store

A business at the forefront of inspiring fresh and creative designs needs an ecommerce presence to match. Recognizing the limitations of their dated BigCommerce theme, OESD sought to contemporize their online presence, prioritizing an enhanced user experience and conversion optimization.

The objective was clear: a comprehensive site revamp that would seamlessly meld cherished elements with modernized functionalities.

The BigCommerce Solution

OESD’s team provided design blueprints and entrusted our team with custom development to bring their vision to life. We seamlessly integrated their brand’s distinct style with the robust customization capabilities of the BigCommerce platform, resulting in a flexible system that showcases diverse designs with the agility to easily update content as new inspirations emerge.

Highlights of the OESD.com full-site project include:

  • Modern, intuitive navigation that invites crafters to explore and be inspired
  • Reimaged Product Detail Page (PDP) with cleaner organization
  • Expandable Category Page filter to find products faster with less distractions
  • A custom build on IntuitSolutions’ “Base Theme”
  • Custom page builder widgets helping simplify site updates

Built on the ITS Base Theme, a BigCommerce Cornerstone-based Stencil theme, OESD has a solid foundation to grow and scale. Our BigCommerce developers have dedicated 100’s of hours to optimize our theme for Page Load Speed, Accessibility, SEO, and faster updates.

Site Customizations & Enhancements

Some highlights of the unique solutions we implemented for their new BigCommerce store.

BigCommerce Page Builder

BigCommerce page builder is a game-changing feature helping merchants customize several page elements. With custom, pre-built components called “widgets” built into their site, OESD has more control with updating their content without needing to touch the theme code.

Shop by Technique / Category

OESD customers can discover their ideal products faster with revamped CTAs on the homepage. The visually enhanced "Shop by Technique" and "Shop by Category" sections ensure a swift navigation to desired items, optimizing the browsing experience.

Expandable Filter on Category Page

Using SearchSpring, we seamlessly integrated a sleek, expandable filter into the Category pages, blending efficiency with user-centric design. Shoppers can quickly refine search results without navigating away from their current page.

Product Detail Page Redesign

The Product Detail page got a serious upgrade with a transformed, cleaner look, including stacked product images. The organization helps customers preview pertinent information at a glance without feeling overwhelmed.

Frequently Bought Together Customization on PDP

OESD elevated their upselling and cross-selling opportunities with a revamped product page. The refreshed design intuitively showcases complementary and additional products, whether singular or multiple, right beneath the “Add to Cart” and “Add to Wishlist” CTAs.

Custom Thread Chart

Our team created a dynamic thread chart page within BigCommerce, utilizing API calls to pull pertinent data from OESD's database. This allows customers to easily toggle on/off specific project details prior to purchase, such as thread colors, color change steps, and instructions.
