No three words could describe Stephan Ruhle better.

With the help of Styla's dedicated support, Stephan relaunched his previous BigCommerce Stencil Frontend successfully on Styla Frontend at the start of 2023. The company's whole content editing roles and routines were successfully switched over to WYSYWIG editing in Styla without needing any more IT capacity.

Since starting, Adventure Gear now boasts a PWA and a 100% technical SEO score that helps the new brand to appear on the map of the motorbiking equipment market. Customers enjoy a smooth and fast shopping experience since the new store is fully loaded in only 2.8 seconds.

The team at Adventure Gear has been using the nocode visual editor ever since and is inspired about the ease of use and the speed in which new pages and website-parts can be updated.

Employees appreciate how fast the newly created pages are while the new approach saves them a lot of time and effort. Now, from a technical standpoint, Adventure Gear is perfectly positioned to join the battle for the best motorbiking equipment ecommerce in Germany.
