Our strategy was to create a premium, nostalgic, and emotionally resonant shopping experience tailored specifically to Gen X.

Catherine Liang - CEO
We centered the design around “earned indulgence,” blending luxury with subtle 80s/90s inspiration without looking childish. The UX focused on clear navigation, clean product discovery, and trust-building for high-ticket items, while the brand voice used confident, relatable messaging that speaks to Gen X’s life stage.
Visually, we paired sophisticated neutrals with retro accents and high-quality lifestyle photography to deliver a modern yet nostalgic look that feels both premium and personal.

"Working with Lantern Sol was a standout experience from start to finish. What began as a website project quickly felt like a true collaboration. They took the time to understand where we were trying to go, challenged our thinking in the right ways, and ultimately helped elevate the vision far beyond what we initially had in mind. What really set them apart was their willingness to step outside the boundaries of the project. When we hit issues with systems and integrations that weren’t technically their responsibility, they didn’t disengage, they helped us out. If you’re looking for a team that’s genuinely invested in the outcome, not just the deliverable, Lantern Sol delivers on that in a big way. We’re extremely happy with the result and appreciate the way they showed up throughout the entire process."

Impact of the new UX/UI Design vs. Previous Period
The goal of this project was to rebuild Beacon's digital presence from the ground up; transforming a technically complex, low-trust experience into a conversion-optimized ecommerce platform built for a high-consideration purchase environment.
The design approach centered on information hierarchy and credibility signaling, structuring PDPs with tabbed content architecture, downloadable technical references, and formula-forward visuals to reduce cognitive load without sacrificing scientific accuracy. Custom calculator logic addressed a key drop-off trigger, while controlled whitespace, typographic authority, and AI-assisted product imagery closed the gap between a research-grade brand and a consumer-ready experience. The early data confirms the approach: within the first week of launch, before any SEO or email/SMS activation, the site generated ~20 new customers, its first subscription, a 50% lift in orders, and 44% growth in gross sales. A direct signal that the UX is reducing friction and the foundation is built to scale.

54.37x Meta ROAS at peak

Peak performance — week of March 22–28, 2026
The Challenge
Grytfit sells USA-made rubber gym flooring out of Ohio with an average order value of ~$1,100. In a category where customers research for weeks, call before buying, and often pick up locally, standard paid media falls short. A 25–35 day sales lag and heavy reliance on phone conversions meant that most revenue was invisible to the ad platforms. We needed to build a structure that could win in spite of that — and eventually track through it.
What We Did
We restructured the account across five key moves: removed Marketplace placements to cut wasted spend; ran a negative keyword sweep to tighten Google audience quality; launched a Shopping campaign that immediately delivered a 14.15x ROAS and $38 CPA; unified all ad traffic to a single landing page; and implemented WhatConverts to start tracking phone call conversions — closing the attribution gap that had masked true performance all along.
The week of March 22–28, combined platform ROAS reached 54.37x on Meta and 14.87x on Google, both well above industry benchmarks.

Impact of the new UX/UI Design vs. Previous Period
The goal of this project was to elevate the brand’s digital presence while creating a conversion-ready ecommerce experience that scales across products, collections, and custom work inquiries.
The design approach prioritized restraint and intention, allowing structure and rhythm to shape the experience. Visual decisions were made to reduce friction, reinforce focus, and create a sense of confidence throughout the journey. The interface balances clarity with warmth, using consistency and proportion to guide attention while maintaining a quiet, refined presence across every interaction.
