Glassmania’s aim in replatforming its WordPress shop to Magento 2 was to make the glass personalization experience easy and fast by improving shop usability, reducing page loading time, and expanding website functionalities. Not only have we successfully migrated all customer and product data to Magento 2, but also the website got new features and was hosted on AWS cloud servers for optimal performance.
The backstory
Glassmania is a Switzerland-based glassware brand of the family-owned Univerre Pro Uva SA business. The brand delivers a unique glass experience by allowing the customers to customize any glass product — from wine glasses to carafes. The designs are added using silk screen or digital printing, and the company takes care of secure glass shipping across Europe.
The idea of glass personalization quickly conquered the hearts of European consumers. Glassmania started growing and looking to expand beyond Switzerland. At some point, the team realized that they far outgrew WordPress: the platform couldn’t provide the optimal website speed and flexibility to integrate third-party services required to run an online store. That’s when they realized it was time to migrate to Magento 2.
