The Challenge

A craftsman's legacy, held back by a dated digital presence

Marco De Luca is a Roman jewellery designer whose handcrafted pieces have appeared in major international films and on the wrists of celebrities worldwide. Yet his digital presence didn't reflect the prestige of the brand.

The existing site suffered from fragmented navigation, an unclear e-commerce path, near-zero SEO visibility and a visual identity that failed to communicate the brand's artisan craftsmanship — leaving visitors and search engines alike without a clear signal.

Objectives
  • 01Rebuild the site around a clear, premium e-commerce journey
  • 02Elevate visual storytelling to match the brand's artisan quality
  • 03Restructure navigation to reduce friction and increase product discovery
  • 04Implement SEO foundations targeting jewellery buyers in key markets
  • 05Deliver a fast, mobile-first experience across all devices
