01 — The Brief

Why we started, and the bar we set.

What we set out to do

Move from a storefront to an intelligence engine.

The starting point

A Wix site that functioned as a storefront, but didn't reflect the depth of the inventory, the multiple ways collectors enter the market, or give the team the analytics they needed to understand demand.

What we agreed to build

A WordPress migration with full HubSpot integration, a demand intelligence layer, dedicated paths for trade and consignment, and a content architecture that treats brand, model, and inventory as distinct, navigable layers.

02 — Strategy

The choices that make this more than a redesign.

The approach

Four parallel workstreams, one outcome.

01
Platform migration

Move off Wix and onto WordPress, with full content portability and a foundation built for editorial control.

02
Analytics integration

HubSpot wired in end-to-end so every meaningful interaction is captured, attributed, and reportable.

03
Demand intelligence

A canonical structure for tracking interest by brand, by model, and by individual timepiece — purpose-built for acquisition strategy.

04
User pathways

Surfaced routes for browsing, trade, sourcing, consignment, and brand/model exploration — each with its own front door.

Demand intelligence

A signal at every layer.

What it does

Every interaction on the site — a click on a brand, time on a model, an inquiry on a piece — ties back to a structured taxonomy. Demand reads as a hierarchy, not a list of events.

Why it matters

Reporting reveals which brands and models are heating up before they reach acquisition pipelines. Buying decisions get informed by real visitor behavior, not gut feel.

User pathways

Five ways collectors enter.

Discovery showed the previous home page was over-indexed on inventory browsing. The expanded structure gives each visitor intent a clear front door.

  1. 01Browse inventory
  2. 02Explore by brand
  3. 03Explore by model
  4. 04Request a trade
  5. 05Source or consign
03 — Where We Are

Design approved. Templates approved. Pages built.

Milestone

Design system, approved.

Fonts, spacing, color, layout structure, headline treatment, and overall page design were presented to WoC and signed off. Everything that follows is built against this foundation.

Milestone

Three core templates, approved.

Template 01

Brand

Design and content flow approved. Anchors the brand-led entry path.

Template 02

Model

Design and content flow approved. Bridges brand exploration and inventory discovery.

Template 03

Inventory

Design and content flow approved. The conversion surface for individual timepieces.

Templates in action

How we worked

A custom GPT, trained on the brand.

What it does

Content for every brand and model page was developed using a custom GPT built specifically for this engagement — trained on WoC's voice, positioning, and the editorial framework defined during discovery.

Why it matters

Hundreds of pages, written at a consistent quality and tone, in a fraction of the time a manual workflow would take. Strategic alignment holds across thousands of words.

Beyond the templates

What else is in flight.

  • Home page — first draft

    Restructured around the expanded user pathways. Trade, sourcing, consignment, and brand/model exploration each surface from the home page.

  • Model search

    A dedicated search surface to navigate the model layer without dropping into inventory first.

  • Confirmation pages

    The transactional layer behind every form — calibrated for clarity and follow-through.

Home page, redrawn

A clearer front door.

Home page — first draft, restructured around the five user pathways.
04 — What's Next

From staging to live.

Next milestones

Three things between us and launch.

Milestone 01

Home page finalization

Refine the first draft, integrate final copy, and align the page against the approved design system.

Milestone 02

HubSpot wiring & QA

Activate analytics, validate capture against the canonical taxonomy, and dry run the reporting layer.

Milestone 03

Pre-launch review

Final QA pass, client sign-off, and a controlled migration window.

Thank you

The foundation is in.
The next stretch is launch.

Design system, templates, and 144 pages of approved content are built. What remains is the home page, the analytics layer, and a final review. We're close.
