About This Project

Bittersweet Designs is a boutique jewellery and lifestyle brand based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, known for its eclectic, bohemian style and handcrafted pieces. The client approached us to redesign their eCommerce site to better reflect the artistry of their products and create a more refined, intuitive shopping experience.

We rebuilt the website on Shopify, focusing on a clean, earthy design that showcases their product collections with warmth and clarity. From storytelling elements to seamless checkout, the new site enhances both brand experience and usability — giving customers a sense of the personal, handmade nature behind every piece.

Alcinder Tech beautifully captured the heart of our brand and brought it to life online. The new Shopify site is not only visually stunning but also incredibly easy for our customers to use — and easy for our team to manage. We’ve seen an increase in engagement and conversions since launch, and the feedback from our community has been overwhelmingly positive. Their design and development work exceeded all expectations.
