Case Study: MyCreativeShop achieves 4x engagement and cleaner, faster search with Algolia
A Algolia Case Study
How Algolia Helped Us Improve UX, Dump Legacy Code and 4x Engagement
MyCreativeShop.com, a small design-template business run by co-owner and lead developer Jason Frueh, was struggling with a large product catalog that produced slow browsing, inaccurate search results, shaky legacy code and SEO risks on high-value pages. The team needed a fast, reliable search experience that preserved on‑page SEO and existing URL structures while keeping development efficient.
They integrated Algolia (data synced in one day, catalog rewritten in four) and used server-side rendering for public template pages to protect SEO and instantsearch.js for fast in‑app search. The result: legacy catalog code was discarded, search speed and accuracy improved, catalog visitors convert 38% better and pages per session have risen by over 200%, delivering a cleaner codebase and a much stronger user experience.
