Customer: limited100.co.uk
Industry: Luxury Automotive Wall Art
Company Overview: Limited100 is a UK-based luxury automotive wall art business serving car enthusiasts globally. Founded in 2020, they work with seven photographers worldwide and have sold over 500 handmade artworks to collectors, gift buyers, and dealerships across the UK, US, and beyond.

The Challenge

Limited100 faced a common problem for small businesses using older Shopify themes: their basic search functionality wasn't engaging enough to keep visitors exploring their catalog. The results speak for themselves — after implementing Searchanise, they saw their average pages per visit increase from 2.2 to 3.4 and bounce rate drop from 28% to 18%.

Core Issues Included:

Limited Search Functionality: The basic Shopify search on their theme provided no preview functionality. Customers searching for "Ferrari F40" would see only a text result, with no product image or key details, until clicking through.
Poor Site Engagement: Without an intuitive search experience, visitors weren't discovering other products, leading to high bounce rates and low page views per session.

The Solution: Searchanise Implementation

Limited100 implemented Searchanise Search & Filter to transform their basic search into a sophisticated discovery tool that matched their luxury brand aesthetic and transformed customers’ journey.

Before Searchanise, customers had to:
  1. Type search term
  2. Click search button
  3. Browse results page
  4. Select product

After implementation:
  1. Type search term
  2. See instant previews
  3. Click directly on desired artwork or add to cart without leaving the search results
"Having Searchanise opened up the rest of the website and made it easier to access other areas. It essentially removes a step from the customer journey, allowing them to reach art they like more quickly."

Simon Wright, Founder of Limited100

Custom Styling

The Feature: Full customization of search widget appearance with custom fonts and colors.
Why It Matters: Maintains brand consistency without requiring expensive custom development work.
"It matches the style of our website as well, and it didn’t require any custom coding. That was great, because most Shopify sellers need to hire a developer for custom work, which can be quite expensive for a small business."

More Than Just a Tool: Partnership That Delivers

For Limited100, the value extended beyond the software to include responsive support and growth opportunities.

Simon Wright, Founder of Limited100

Platform Longevity

Searchanise helped extend the life of Limited100's existing Shopify theme, providing modern functionality without the cost of a complete redesign.
"Having Searchanise helps us add the functionality of a newer Shopify theme without having to switch themes. It’s actually extended the lifespan of our current Shopify template."

Simon Wright, Founder of Limited100

Who Would Benefit

Limited100's experience shows Searchanise is ideal for:
Small to Medium Shopify Stores: Businesses that need advanced functionality without developer resources
Stores Using Older Themes: Companies wanting modern search features without theme upgrades
Budget-Conscious Businesses: Stores seeking premium functionality at affordable prices
Niche Luxury Brands: Businesses requiring customization to maintain brand consistency
"Any Shopify store where the founder doesn’t have many resources for custom development and wants more control over the website’s search function… it allows someone like me, who isn’t a developer, to customize parts of the website that would otherwise require a lot of coding."

Simon Wright, Founder of Limited100
