Easy-to-navigate store: clean structure that helps customers find products effortlessly
Project Goals & Challenges
Thursday Living’s previous store ran on the Neto (by Maropost) platform. While functional, it had become increasingly difficult to manage and was limiting growth. The platform’s complexity, system limitations, and lack of scalability were holding the business back.
The team sought to migrate to Shopify, a stable, user-friendly platform designed to support long-term growth. Their goals included:
- Refined store design and performance
- Better content management and control
The challenge was ensuring a smooth transition from Neto while setting Thursday Living up with a future-proof platform that could scale with their ambitions.

Results
The new Shopify store resolved the limitations of Neto and gave Thursday Living a strong foundation for growth. With a refreshed design and optimised performance, the site is easier for customers to navigate and shop. A streamlined checkout reduces friction, while a clean product detail layout makes it easier for shoppers to find and buy the right items.
On the backend, the Shopify OS 2.0 build empowers the Thursday Living team with more control over updates and promotions, making it simple to keep content fresh without relying on developers. The business is also now positioned to take advantage of Shopify’s marketing and automation tools to accelerate growth.
Most importantly, the Sunyee team has full control over their site content, from updating product categories to fine-tuning page layouts, without relying on developers. This gives them the agility to adapt quickly to seasonal promotions and new product launches.
