Algolia Setup and Custom Template Build
Sockwell partnered with Solo Media Group to overhaul their online shopping experience by implementing a fully customized search and merchandising system using Algolia. The goal was to improve product discoverability, streamline variant selection, and give the Sockwell team more control over how products are presented across the site. By moving beyond default templates and introducing tailored components, we created a seamless, scalable experience that aligns with the brand’s identity and growth goals.
