Mahers Photographic — Shopify E-commerce Development for an Established Irish Camera Retailer.
// Brief
Mahers Photographic is one of Ireland's longest-established specialist camera and photography retailers. With an extensive product catalogue and a customer base that spans both serious hobbyists and professional photographers, their existing site was failing to deliver the product discovery experience their inventory deserved — particularly on mobile, which accounted for a growing proportion of their traffic. The brief was to modernise the Shopify storefront: improve mobile performance, streamline the path to purchase, and ensure that high-resolution product photography loaded without penalising page speed.
The Solution.
- Custom Shopify Liquid theme development — built specifically for high-density product catalogues with advanced filtering for camera bodies, lenses, accessories, and darkroom equipment
- Performance audit and image pipeline optimisation for large, high-resolution product galleries — WebP conversion, lazy loading, and responsive srcset implementation across the entire catalogue
- Mobile UX overhaul — restructured the 'Add to Cart' flow to reduce friction on the primary conversion path, with particular attention to one-thumb usability on product detail pages
- Page weight reduced by 45% — directly improving Core Web Vitals scores and mobile load times across the most-visited product pages
