Wander Beauty
On-the-Go Beauty for the Bold & Beautiful.
Turning complex challenges into stepping stones for progress, using creativity, expertise, and technology to find solutions.
Challenge: Translating Wander Beauty's brand vision and design assets into a fully functional e-commerce platform using Magento 1.9.x.
Built a custom theme and integrated essential functionalities for a direct-to-consumer beauty brand.
Set up secure payment processing and established reliable cloud hosting to handle initial traffic.
Magento 1.9.x faced performance limitations as Wander Beauty grew.
Security became a concern with the platform nearing its end-of-life.
Scalability was an issue, and Magento 1 lacked modern features.
The challenge: Migrating to Magento 2 while ensuring minimal downtime, data integrity, and migrating complex data and custom functionalities.
At the outset of the project, our team held an in-depth meeting with the client to gain a comprehensive understanding of their business needs. As the client was not fully familiar with our process, we took the opportunity to guide them through our services and clarify the expected deliverables. Throughout the project, we made sure to keep the client engaged and regularly updated on our progress, ensuring their goals were met on time and within budget.

Set up and manage cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar) for hosting the Magento 1.9.x application, including web servers, databases, and deployment processes.
Planned and executed the migration using Magento's data migration tools or custom scripts to transfer data (customers, orders, catalog, CMS).
Rebuilt or adapted the frontend theme to fit Magento 2's architecture.
We design a fully integrated solution leveraging the latest technologies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
The result is a perfect balance of innovation, strategy, and execution to achieve extraordinary business outcomes.
Destm successfully launched Wander Beauty's initial online store on Magento 1.9.x, establishing their crucial direct-to-consumer sales channel. Subsequently, Destm successfully executed the complex migration to Magento 2. This provided Wander Beauty with a significantly more modern, secure, and performant platform compared to its predecessor. Key technical benefits included Magento 2's improved architecture offering better scalability potential, enhanced caching mechanisms leading to faster load times, a more intuitive backend admin interface for Wander Beauty's team, increased security with regular updates from Adobe/Magento, and native support for modern web technologies (like Varnish, Elasticsearch). This migration ensured business continuity on a supported and future-proof platform, mitigating the risks associated with the Magento 1 end-of-life.
