SHEET 02-ACASE STUDY — BACK TO ALL WORK

SIYOU
Nails.

A handmade press-on nail atelier needed a storefront as distinctive as the product. The answer: an editorial, type-first Shopify build made for small-batch drops.

The brief

SIYOU makes press-on nail sets by hand — small batches, no two sets alike, each one closer to a small artwork than a drugstore product. Selling handmade work through a generic-looking store undersells it, and social posts disappear in a day. The brand needed a permanent home that carries the same attitude as the product.

The build

The storefront leads with type, not stock photography: oversized editorial headlines set the tone before a single product appears, and the product shots get room to breathe. The whole site is built to run drops — new sets go live, get their moment on the homepage, and sell through without a developer touching anything.

  • Custom Shopify theme direction — editorial, type-first, campaign-ready
  • Drop-ready homepage sections the owner can rearrange per launch
  • Product pages built around shape, size, and wear details buyers ask about
  • Bundle offer baked into the storefront (buy two, get one free)
  • Email capture for drop announcements

The result
