CandleScience—complex catalog, elegant structure

The challenge
B2C, B2B, DIY. Different customer segments, high product interdependency, variable pricing, international requirements. Wax, wicks, fragrance oils—everything interconnects. What was missing: a system that could handle this complexity without exposing it.

Our objective
A high-performance platform that manages complex logic, integrates storytelling—and remains infinitely extensible.

The solution
A completely custom e-commerce system—built from the ground up for CandleScience. Component-based. Headless. Future-proof. Every line of code tailored to their exact brand and business model.

What the system delivers
Pricing is dynamically controlled—B2B, B2C, volume discounts, promotions. Internationalization is built-in—language, currency, legal copy, and shipping all adapt to market and audience. Content and commerce interlock: recipes, tutorials, and guides are editorially managed and integrated into the purchase journey.

The outcome
Complexity stays in the backend. Customers experience clarity, relevance, inspiration. CandleScience remains the market leader—with a shop that sells, engages, and is ready for whatever comes next.

What we built

Our solution—architecture over compromise

Alchemy CMS

For the editorial foundation, we chose Alchemy.

Headless-ready, media-neutral, modular. Content is structured independently of layout, flexibly maintained, and delivered seamlessly to all frontends—including the shop. Everything in the system, everything editable. No detours, no friction.

Solidus—built to scale

A shop that works for B2C and B2B—and grows with you.

Thoughtful UX, optimized navigation, automated workflows. From product to checkout, everything connects. The platform is infinitely extensible and maps complex business logic exactly.

Granular access control

Access by design.

Content, features, and sensitive data are protected by a structured role system. Internal teams work more efficiently, external access stays secure—from editors to customer segments.

Storytelling that converts

Content isn't decoration—it's part of the sales engine.

The system enables curated product experiences, embedded content, and contextual guidance directly in the purchase flow. No separation between editorial and commerce—one seamless experience.
