Website Proposal — E-commerce Replatform for Summit Supply
Prepared for: Daniel Okafor, Head of Digital, Summit Supply Prepared by: Lena Hart, Pixel & Pine Date: 4 June 2026 Valid until: 4 July 2026
1. Executive summary
Summit Supply's outdoor-gear store runs on an ageing custom platform that is slow on mobile, hard to filter, and can't support the subscription bundles you want to launch. Pixel & Pine will replatform the store onto Shopify — migrating roughly 1,200 SKUs — with faster pages, proper product filtering, and built-in subscriptions, in eight weeks for $46,800. The goal: lift mobile conversion and open a recurring-revenue line without disrupting your existing catalogue.
2. Goals and success metrics
| Goal | Metric | Baseline (today) | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faster storefront | Mobile load time (LCP) | 5.8 s | under 2.5 s |
| Easier product discovery | Search/filter usage to cart | 9% | 18% |
| Recurring revenue | Active subscriptions | 0 | 400 in 6 months |
| Higher mobile conversion | Mobile checkout completion | 1.4% | 2.6% |
3. Scope and sitemap
We will build the following templates and pages on Shopify:
- Templates: Home, Collection (category), Product, Search/filter results, Cart, Checkout, Blog post, Account
- Pages: About, Sustainability, Stores, Size & Fit Guide, Contact, FAQ
- Subscriptions: "Trail Club" recurring bundle flow on eligible product templates
- Content responsibility: Summit Supply supplies product copy and photography; Pixel & Pine writes the six core marketing pages and structures all product data during migration.
- Out of scope: New product photography, ongoing blog writing, paid-ad management, and third-party app subscription fees (billed directly to Summit Supply).
4. Design and build approach
- Discovery (Week 1): Goals workshop, competitor review, audit of all 1,200 SKUs and current URL structure.
- Design (Weeks 2–3): Wireframes for the eight templates, then high-fidelity mockups of Home, Collection, and Product for sign-off. Two revision rounds per template are included.
- Build (Weeks 4–6): Custom Shopify theme, faceted filtering, subscription flow, and integrations, with a staging store for review.
- Content, QA & launch (Weeks 7–8): Product migration, redirect mapping for old URLs, cross-device testing, and a coordinated go-live with DNS cutover.
5. Integrations, CMS and analytics
| Area | Tool / platform | Provided by |
