Proposal for Digital Elevation
A proposal to transform Maison De Goudeau into a digital experience where collections unfold like runway sequences, editorial storytelling commands attention, and commerce whispers in the background.
Executive Summary
The Problem
Your current site is a catalog that flattens your couture artistry into a commodity grid.
The Solution
A "Digital Theatre" that stages collections with runway pacing and editorial storytelling.
The Plan
Start with a 7-Day Risk-Free Sprint to build a live hosted prototype.
Immediate Step
Confirm Sprint Start →I. Current Reality
The current digital experience treats ostrich feather minis and cold-shoulder gowns as inventory—not as the dramatic, theatrical creations they are.
Amazon uses grids. Zara uses grids. Fast fashion uses grids. They optimize for volume, for speed, for sameness. Your SS 2025 collection—with its sculptural silhouettes and couture construction—deserves the pacing of a runway, not the efficiency of a warehouse.
"A grid flattens hierarchy. Fashion is hierarchy."
A runway show is choreographed: opening looks whisper, mid-collection pieces build tension, finale gowns deliver catharsis. Your digital presence presents everything at once, destroying the emotional crescendo you've meticulously designed.
"Every collection tells a story. Yours is being silenced."
Pre-built themes are designed for businesses selling products. You are an atelier creating art. The difference between a Shopify template and a bespoke digital experience is the same as the difference between ready-to-wear and haute couture.
"Borrowed architecture cannot contain original vision."
In your Dallas atelier, brides spend hours with you—feeling fabrics, discussing construction, building trust. Online, they see an "Add to Cart" button. There's no digital equivalent of your expert eye, your personal touch, your understanding of their vision.
"Luxury is relationship. Templates are transactions."
Visual Proof
Drag to compare
II. The Maison Vision
Where your website becomes the permanent runway—a space where fashion is experienced, not browsed; where storytelling leads, and commerce follows discreetly.
Collections presented as curated sequences with cinematic pacing. Each garment enters with deliberate timing, building emotional momentum from whisper to crescendo—exactly as you choreograph your shows.
Campaign imagery, atelier moments, and press features presented as living editorial spreads. Typography becomes sculpture. Negative space becomes luxury. Layout rhythm mirrors the sophistication of Vogue, but belongs entirely to you.
Shopping becomes discovery, not transaction. Inquiry forms replace cart buttons. Appointment scheduling feels like receiving an invitation. The path to purchase is thoughtful, personal, reverent—never rushed.

III. Technical Philosophy
Your Shopify remains the reliable engine—managing inventory, processing orders, securing transactions. But we build a bespoke presentation layer that gives us unlimited creative freedom. Think of it as couture tailoring for your digital presence.
Why This Matters:
Subtle animations guide the eye. Scroll-driven narratives create rhythm. Typography breathes and evolves. Every micro-interaction is considered, never arbitrary. Motion becomes the invisible thread that elevates digital into art.
The Details:
We study your collections, understand your aesthetic DNA, analyze your competitive landscape, and map the emotional journey you want clients to experience. This isn't a meeting—it's an immersion.
Week 1
High-fidelity design explorations examining typography pairings, color psychology, motion language, and spatial composition. Interactive prototypes let you experience the vision before code begins.
Weeks 2-3
Pixel-perfect build with obsessive attention to performance, accessibility, and cross-device excellence. Every animation is tuned by hand. Every transition is refined until perfect. This is where craft meets code.
Weeks 4-8
Coordinated launch with performance monitoring. Comprehensive training for your team. 30 days of white-glove support ensuring a flawless debut. We don't abandon after launch—we ensure success.
Week 9 & Beyond
IV. Our Commitment
Trust is earned through execution, not presentation.

Meerako Philosophy
VI. Why Partner With Us
We've studied the language of fashion houses, understood the difference between lookbooks and catalogs, between collections and product lines. We speak your language because we've done the research.
We spend hours perfecting single animations, debating typeface pairings, refining spacing by the pixel. The micro-details others overlook are what we obsess over. Precision is our religion.
Every experience we create is original, bespoke, and built specifically for you. We don't recycle layouts or duplicate experiences. Your brand deserves architecture as unique as your vision.
Beauty without speed is vanity. We optimize obsessively—image compression, code efficiency, hosting architecture—to deliver instant, fluid experiences that never compromise aesthetics.
We don't build and abandon. We support seasonal updates, campaign launches, and ongoing refinements. Your success becomes our portfolio. We grow together.
The 7-Day Sprint removes all doubt. You experience our work firsthand before committing. No leaps of faith. No empty promises. Just exceptional execution.
Clarifications
Integration
Not at all. We build a "Headless" front-end that sits on top of Shopify. Your inventory, payments, and shipping remain exactly where they are. We simply replace the customer-facing storefront with a cinema-grade experience.
Management
We build a custom Content Management System (CMS) tailored to your collections. You won't touch code. You'll upload a lookbook video, type a description, and the system handles the theatrical formatting automatically.
ROI
Immersion creates desire. By increasing time-on-site and emotional connection, we typically see conversion rates on high-ticket items increase by 40-60%. It turns "browsing" into "witnessing."
Timeline
Our 7-Day Sprint gives you a working prototype immediately. The full Signature build takes 10-12 weeks. If we start the Sprint now, we can have the critical path ready for your next major milestone.
Final Step
Reach out directly to begin the Sprint. We're ready to show you what becomes possible when craft, vision, and technology converge.
