High-Performance Shopify Storefront for a Design-Forward Product Startup via Custom Canvas Animation
Lumio calls itself “poetic technology for better living.” It offers stylish products like the Teno sculptural portable speaker. It provides global shipping and highlights premium branding.
That brand promise poses a challenge for eCommerce. The storefront should feel cinematic and tactile, but it must not be slow, fragile, or hard to maintain.
Client / Industry: Lumio – premium consumer electronics & design-focused brand (DTC)
Scope: Shopify theme development • animation engineering • product configurator & personalization • custom Instagram feed app • technical SEO & speed optimization
Tech Stack: Shopify (Online Store) • Liquid • GSAP (TweenMax) • ScrollMagic • Canvas / WebGL • Custom Shopify App (Instagram feed) • WebP optimization
Key Result: Smooth, interactive hero animation created without losing core web performance. Animation and speed were engineered together.
Lumio approached us with a bold goal: to make the product shine through engaging animations and a sleek, editorial design. They wanted to do this while fully utilizing a Shopify setup that could support their growth.
The constraints weren’t theoretical:
In short: the experience needed to feel premium and interactive – but still behave like a fast, reliable store.
If you’re building a design-forward Shopify store and need animation, custom apps, speed engineering, or complex product UX, we can help.
Because the target experience wasn’t a simple CSS transition – it was a frame-rich, cinematic interaction tied to scroll behavior.
Canvas/WebGL gave us predictable rendering and creative control, while GSAP/ScrollMagic provided reliable scroll-binding patterns (and allowed us to tune performance rather than fight browser inconsistencies).
Third-party embed widgets often:
A custom Shopify app let us control payload, caching strategy, markup, and updates, keeping the site lighter and the brand presentation consistent.
Because Lumio is a premium consumer brand, the “results” weren’t only about raw speed – they were about premium experience + stable commerce operations.
