deBoulle - Shopify Store Development

Steven Groves

Project Overview

I partnered with deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry to modernize and elevate their digital presence by migrating their website from WordPress to Shopify. The project focused on creating a luxury-driven e-commerce experience while maintaining the brand’s high standards and heritage. In addition to the main storefront, I developed a bespoke Rolex subsite—carefully crafted to reflect the exclusivity and precision expected from one of the world’s most prestigious timepiece brands.

Client Background

deBoulle is a family-owned luxury jeweler and authorized Rolex dealer with a flagship location in Dallas, Texas. Renowned for its curated selection of fine jewelry and timepieces, the brand has built its legacy on elegance, service, and discretion. With increasing demand for a refined online experience, deBoulle needed a modern platform that could translate their in-store sophistication to a global e-commerce audience.

Challenge

The project required solving several high-end design and operational challenges:
Transitioning from an outdated WordPress environment to a robust, scalable Shopify platform
Capturing the essence of luxury and trust in a digital interface
Creating a separate but integrated Rolex subsite that aligned with strict brand guidelines
Ensuring smooth navigation between editorial content and product-focused pages
Preserving the brand’s heritage while delivering a high-performance, mobile-first experience

Solution

Results

Faster site performance, improved backend workflows, and greater scalability for future growth
