[ 02 ] OVERVIEW

Smile Spirits, a bold beverage brand based in San Diego, came to Digital Hype Media looking for more than just a facelift; they needed a platform built for serious growth. Their original Wix setup was holding them back, both from a functionality and scalability standpoint. Our mission was clear: create a custom-built, conversion-driven Shopify store that could handle retail, eCommerce, and marketing integrations seamlessly.
