Rock n Shine 2.0 is here! Yes, after launching rocknshine.me in 2023, we’re proud to announce that our new, redesigned site is now live. Expect a refreshed look and feel and easier ways to shop. We’ve also got a new CMS under the hood (more on that later).
In short? You’ve got every reason to support the ethical brands on our site.
So, without further ado, let’s take you on a whistlestop tour of what’s new.
Easier ways to shop
Our old site had two main carousels on the home page: Category and Featured Products.
Now, we have three carousels for you to browse as soon as you hit the home page.
Meaningful Additions will spotlight great new products in our catalogue. Featured Products will highlight those must-have items. And Shop by Collection will let you pick and choose from our various categories.
You’ll also notice that you can now sort items by “Best Selling” on any category page. Useful if you’re looking to pursue what’s popular with our other customers.
Finally, the menu. Hover your mouse over Store and you’ll see each category lined up neatly across the top of the screen, as opposed to dropping down line by line as before.

A new CMS
In consultation with our web team, we’ve made the switch to Shopify, one of the leading ecommerce platforms globally. With Shopify, we’ll be able to: 1) speed up the shopping experience; 2) highlight products we know you’ll love and 3) make sure you never miss out on the best offers.
Shopify also makes things easier behind the scenes: from inventory management and stock tracking to running discounts and promotions, it helps us serve you more smoothly and efficiently.
Finally, expect faster site speed, easier product discovery, and the most seamless checkout process yet.
As a growing brand, we needed a CMS that matched our ambitions.
See your Recently Viewed
A regular visitor to the site? No more retracing your steps — your recently viewed items are just one click away whenever you search.
This makes life so much easier when you’re browsing the site. Because as we all know, the fewer pain points, the better.
Refined look and feel
We’ve kept our signature aesthetic, but refined it slightly to make sure that it scales beautifully across all devices.
In particular, the new CMS will allow us to serve you just as well on mobile as on desktop.

On mobile, you’ll see that we’re able to maximise the space available to us, no matter the handset you’re using.
And again, you can expect faster site speeds and an easier checkout experience.
Why not give it a go and see for yourself?
Blog section promoted to main navigation
Finally, our News section is now available from the main navigation as opposed to being a sub-item under Store.
Look forward to updates from Dana and the team. As you’ll likely know, we recently launched our sunglasses partnership with Mayler and Melt, and we’ve got many more exciting collaborations on the horizon.
Of course, as with any launch, there’s always a transitional period. Spot something we need to fix? Pop us a mail at rocknshine.dana[at]gmail[dot]com. Or head over to Instagram and send us a message.
Happy shopping.
