Reimagining the eCommerce experience for a legendary brand
Challenge

Solution
Engaging Design
Sticking to the iconic Leica brand guidelines, iMedia created a vivid design to foster brand awareness and conversion.
eCommerce
Utilizing a traditional eCommerce approach, iMedia rebuilt the Leica Camera online store with out-of-the-box tools available within the BigCommerce feature set.
