Clear product detail pages: Clean design with key information upfront for confident purchasing
Project goals & challenges
Thursday Living’s existing store on Neto was functional but difficult to manage and didn’t support the brand’s growth ambitions. The platform’s complexity made it harder to update content and scale with confidence.
The goal of the migration was to move to Shopify, a more stable and user-friendly platform, and to deliver:
- A refreshed store design with improved performance
- Better content control and easier day-to-day updates
The challenge was to migrate everything smoothly from Neto and set up a future-proof Shopify store that could grow with the business.

Smooth checkout: A simplified process that reduces drop-offs and increases conversions
Results
The new Shopify store resolved the limitations of the previous setup and gave Thursday Living a stronger foundation for growth. With a refreshed design and improved performance, the site is easier for customers to navigate and shop. A smoother checkout process reduces friction, while clean product detail layouts make it easier for shoppers to find and buy the right items.
On the backend, the Shopify build gives the Thursday Living team greater control over content, updates, and promotions without relying on developers. This makes it simple to keep content fresh and respond quickly to seasonal campaigns or new product launches. The business is also now positioned to use Shopify’s built-in marketing and automation tools to support future growth.
The team highlighted how much easier it is to build and maintain pages with the new layouts, and how ongoing support has helped them feel confident managing the store day to day.
