We were asked by Pure Pro to migrate their existing BigCommerce store from the antiquated Blueprint framework to the new Stencil framework. Working closely with the Pure Pro team, IntuitSolutions designed, developed and launched a custom BigCommerce Stencil theme on PurePro.com. We then implemented custom add-ons to enhance the UX.

Their Story: Sports Unlimited
Founded in 1983, Sports Unlimited began as a family-owned sporting goods store near Philadelphia, PA. In 1998, they expanded their operations by launching SportsUnlimitedInc.com, allowing them to serve customers both in-store and online. By 2008, they had transitioned to an online-only model to stay ahead of industry trends.
Sports Unlimited decided that a comprehensive site redesign was essential to improve user experience and maintain their competitive edge. They turned to the BigCommerce design and development experts at IntuitSolutions for an extensive site update, ensuring their platform was optimized for performance and user engagement.

The Challenge: Improving Design, UX and Performance
Sports Unlimited’s site suffered from poor speed and performance issues, making it difficult to provide a seamless shopping experience for their customers. Another provider had previously migrated their site from Yahoo to BigCommerce, resulting in unnecessary and inefficient code that further hampered its performance.
It was clear that a complete site redesign was necessary to address these issues and meet modern ecommerce standards.
The Solution: Full Site Design and Development on BigCommerce
To tackle these challenges, we undertook a comprehensive redesign of the Sports Unlimited website. Our team streamlined and optimized the existing codebase, removing any redundant or inefficient code that was slowing down the site. We implemented the latest BigCommerce Cornerstone theme, ensuring the site was not only faster but also more user-friendly and visually appealing.
This full site redesign significantly improved site speed and overall performance, providing Sports Unlimited with the robust and efficient online platform they needed to better serve their customers.
