From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs

Audio Advice isn’t your average retailer. They sell premium, high-consideration products that require in-depth content, fast load times, and a seamless shopping experience.

Their old Magento site was holding them back. It was slow, hard to manage, and left their marketing team needing to submit a developer request for even basic updates. Audio Advice needed a platform that matched the sophistication of their product catalog and gave their team the flexibility to move quickly.

That’s where Netalico and Shopify came in.

Stuck in the Slow Lane with Magento

Slow Load Times

Frustrated customers, lost conversions, and poor Core Web Vitals scores

Hard-Coded Bottlenecks

Even simple content updates had to go through the dev team

Clunky Admin Tools

Hard-to-use backend made it tough for non-technical teams to move fast

Missed Marketing Moments

No quick way to launch new campaigns or product drops

For a premium brand built on exceptional customer experience, Magento was making things harder than they needed to be.

01

A Smarter Migration Built for Performance and Control

We didn’t just move Audio Advice’s data; we gave them a better foundation. From detailed planning to smooth execution, we used tools like Matrixify to migrate content from both Magento and WordPress without disrupting operations. The result? No lost data, limited broken links, and a new site ready to scale with their business.

02

Custom Features That Convert

Audio Advice’s customers want deep product details, comparison options, and the ability to filter by the specs that actually matter. We built custom PLPs powered by Boost, redesigned PDPs with clear inventory, shipping, and return info, and added enhanced search with custom blog templates to surface the right tools, guides, and expert content.

03

More Control, Less Waiting

Before the migration, the Audio Advice team had to request support for nearly every content change. Now, with Shopify’s flexible admin and custom metafield-based sections, they can update pages, launch landing pages, and publish new content without writing a single line of code.
