HappyNails — Commerce + CMS + Hinglish SEO for Gen-Z Beauty

Live Product
Visit Live SiteHow they reached us
The founder arrived with a product line — chrome, bridal, French, gel tabs — and a clear observation: Indian buyers search in Hinglish, pay on UPI or COD, and leave if the store feels like a template. They did not need a brand film. They needed a Wagtail store that could rank for 'press on nails kaise lagaye' and still take the order the same evening.
The challenge
Beauty demand in India is search-led and impatient: slow stores don't convert it. HappyNails needed more than a product page — it needed a storefront fast enough to hold Gen-Z attention, content infrastructure to rank for the Hinglish queries its buyers actually type, and a checkout path Indian customers trust.
Our solution
We shipped a Wagtail/Django storefront with a checkout-ready Indian trust path, a CMS powering search and AI-discovery content in the Hinglish phrasing real buyers use, and a conversion-first architecture where every high-intent landing leads directly into the purchase flow.
