context.
Lucky Kids is a 20+ year-old children’s footwear brand based in Dubai, operating three successful retail stores. However, its online sales relied heavily on Amazon, with no owned e-commerce infrastructure or cohesive digital brand presence. The existing website lacked transactional capabilities, had fragmented information architecture, and was not built to support SKU expansion, promotions, or customer data ownership.
The goal was to establish a scalable e-commerce platform that could support direct-to-consumer growth while aligning the digital experience with the brand’s offline presence.
