E-Bikes
A fast Hyvä theme for UK’s largest electric bike supplier
E-Bikes was established in 1992 and is now the UK’s largest electric bike supplier stocking a wide range of electric bikes from the leading electric bike brands.
They appointed Youwe (formerly Fisheye) to deliver strong growth and ROI to create a market-leading online presence. They wanted their new solution to retain, or improve upon all existing functionality but simplify the technology and site administration, where possible, without compromising on site stability and performance.
We worked with them to design and develop a brand new Adobe 2 Commerce site using the Hyvä Themes frontend which allowed us to develop this site in a much shorter timescale, compared to what a standard Magento 2 frontend would have taken.
Other requirements for the site included:
Brand
Improve brand perception with an impressive website and experience
Protect
To protect the existing site presence through a very robust migration plan
Scalability
Build a solution that can significantly scale with business growth
Youwe engaged in a series of high-level commercial discovery and requirements gathering tasks when scoping the project, allowing us to develop a complete picture of the business.
Our solution
The results
Performance boosts since launch
Ensured all core web vitals passed on both mobile and desktop (the old site failed almost all of these)
Reduced the average time to first byte (server response time) to under 100ms for all key pages (previously this was over 500ms on most pages and a 1 second on many others!)
Reduced the average number of requests on a page from approximately 300 to under 50
Reduced the average page weight by around 50%
Reduced the impact of third-party scripts by deferring non-mission critical functionality, e.g. live chat and reviews
