Ca’ Pietra Unifies Brands on Adobe Commerce with Hyvä-Powered Redesign

“We’re really pleased with how the site turned out. The Williams Commerce team delivered on time and brought our designs to life in a way that truly reflects the direction and ambition of the brand, paying attention to the small details that really elevate the look and feel of the site. They understood our priorities and helped us hit a very important deadline.”

Ca’ Pietra, part of the Ca’ Pietra Group, is a leading brand in premium tiles and stone surfaces. Traditionally focused on B2C audiences, Ca’ Pietra operated alongside sister brand Artisans of Devizes, which specialised in bespoke, high-end customer experiences, particularly for trade clients. 

As part of a larger strategic brand merger programme , Ca’ Pietra Group engaged Williams Commerce to bring the Ca’ Pietra and Artisans brands together into a single ecommerce platform, preserving the unique heritage, customer focus, and value proposition of both.  

The result is a re-platformed, rebranded, and technically enhanced Adobe Commerce store powered by Hyvä that serves the needs of both retail customers, and with the foundations laid to serve trade customers in the coming months. 

Project Objectives

  • Merge Ca’ Pietra and Artisans of Devizes into a single ecommerce platform under the Ca’Pietra brand. 
  • Deliver a complete redesign using Hyvä (migrated from Adobe’s Luma theme) with the website designs provided by the client. 
  • Audit and implement the client’s designs for technical feasibility, UX best practices, and performance. 
  • Consolidate and migrate customer data across brands. 
  • Go live in a compressed timeline to align with internal brand merger activities. 
  • Prepare the platform for Phase 2 B2B development, including functionality for trade customers. 
  • Deliver new customer-focussed features such as Roomvo visualisation and improved price filtering 

Our Approach

Williams Commerce was brought on in February 2025 with a fixed, non-negotiable go-live date of early June 2025, a tight window that required detailed planning, agile delivery, and close collaboration with the Ca’ Pietra team. 

Working with client-provided visual designs, we conducted a technical audit and feasibility assessment, while also providing SEO support to ensure the custom visuals were compatible with Hyvä best practices, performance standards, and accessibility requirements.  

From a development standpoint, the site was re-themed to Hyvä to dramatically improve site speed and modernise the UX, while the back-end remained stable and robust on Adobe Commerce. 

 We also managed the integration and migration of customer data, consolidating records from Artisans into the Ca’ Pietra ecosystem. This ensured a smooth transition for existing users and laid the groundwork for future trade-focused growth. 

Challenges

  • Compressed timelines: From brief to launch in under four months, with a hard deadline tied to wider brand launch activity. 
  • Brand merger complexity: Ensuring visual, content, and technical consistency across two previously separate customer bases and identities. 
  • Client-led design: Balancing the aesthetic vision with platform best practice, while maintaining performance and stability. 
  • Data consolidation: Ensuring customer data integrity and system compatibility across legacy systems. 
  • SEO impact and domain authority: The store merger involved several thousand redirects including products and the old AoD root domain which we needed to ensure would properly resolve.

Results

The new Ca’ Pietra ecommerce site launched on time, successfully aligning with the group’s broader rebrand and business transformation strategy. The project hit every key milestone despite tight deadlines and data challenges. 

The new experience reflects the client’s vision, maintains high performance standards thanks to Hyvä theming, and sets a strong foundation for the upcoming Phase 2, which will see a more advanced B2B trade offering integrated into the site. 

A summary of the key outcomes: 

  • Go-live delivered on time in under 4 months 
  • Full site rebuild using Hyvä for improved speed and UX 
  • Customer data successfully merged from Artisans to Ca’ Pietra 
  • Future-ready foundation for trade (B2B) expansion 

What’s Next

Following a short hyper-care phase to resolve any minor post-launch issues, the team is now scoping Phase 2 of the Ca’ Pietra roadmap: introducing dedicated B2B functionality to better serve trade partners, an essential part of the business’ long-term strategy.
