Custom Shopify web design for a fabric shop.

Rebranding a fabric shop with a tool-filled site

The Challenge

DuckaDilly is a fabric studio that specializes in selling Liberty Fabrics. For this, our second full redesign project with Lesley, she wanted to take a deeper look at strategy and how to best present the brand to customers and improve sales through a better website experience. She had grown out of her existing brand identity, wanting to move toward a more sophisticated and elegant look. Overall, the goal was a clearer message about who the business is and what to expect from this fabric shop website.

Our Approach

We dove headfirst into this project, from beautiful branding and site design to complex functionality and email marketing. Fabric is sold in yardage, including two types of quarter yards (one a fat quarter). For this project, we created five types of fabric calculators, including quilt binding and backing and hexagon calculations. We love the “Tools & Supplies” on the quilt kit pages, and the thoughtful subscription pages. We also created a complex navigation menu with multiple ways of shopping the same type of product. We have been providing ongoing support since 2015.

So many calculators! Quilters can figure out exactly how much fabric they need using the following calculators we coded into the site:

Meters & Yards
Charm Square
Hexagon Area
Quilt Binding
Quilt Backing

These are gathered on the Fabric Calculators page, and they include friendly tips and example illustrations and photos, to take the confusion out of planning a quilt.

Removing friction for your customers is a smart way to increase sales.

The product page allows customers to choose whether they’re shopping for yardage or purchasing fat quarters (a yard cut into a 2×2 grid, instead of a yard cut into four wide strips).

Our product page also allows customers to save fabrics, using wishlist functionality, so they can more easily plan a project. The site shows exactly how many yards remain in stock.
