The Problem
Magento Couldn't Keep Up Anymore
The Magento platform was heavily customised — and heavily broken. Slow speeds, checkout drop-offs, and a fragmented catalogue were costing the brand real revenue, every single day.
Speed Crisis
Pages loaded slowly on mobile, pushing customers away before they could buy.
Checkout Friction
High cart abandonment due to a broken, confusing checkout experience.
Hard to Manage
Catalogue updates, order management, and operations were manual and slow.
Poor Mobile UX
Cluttered layouts and unresponsive design created friction on every device.

Our Approach
Strategy, Build, Launch, Optimise
Mayday Internet didn’t patch the old system — we rebuilt it properly. Every layer was addressed: platform strategy, UX redesign, custom development, integrations, and automation — all delivered in 40 days with zero downtime.
Platform Strategy
Chose Shopify for enterprise reliability, speed, and long-term scalability.
Full Migration
Products, orders, customers, and SEO assets moved from Magento — zero data loss.
UX Redesign
Custom Shopify theme built for conversion, performance, and mobile-first browsing.
System Integrations
ERP, shipping carriers, payment gateways — all connected into one clean system.
Automation Layer
Shopify Flow, WhatsApp automations, AI chatbots, and custom email flows deployed.
✦
Old Store vs New Store
Two platforms. One decision. Everything you see here is the result of rebuilding from the ground up — not patching what was broken, but replacing it entirely.
