Overview

Launching the ION
line — digitally.

Vaughn Hockey needed a modern, high-performance website to launch their new ION line and stand out against top hockey brands worldwide. Just as importantly, the new site had to showcase both new and existing product lines in a clean, scalable way.

We partnered with Vaughn to redesign the website from the ground up — to showcase their gear and build an interactive product customizer that lets goalie players design their gear exactly the way they want it, with a fast, intuitive experience across every device.

The Challenge

More than
a refresh.

Vaughn's ION launch required a website that could:

Support a major product release with a stronger, more premium digital presence

Organize and present new and existing product lines without clutter or confusion

Make it easier for customers to explore product options and variations

Offer a customization experience that reflects how goalies actually buy — from local dealers, by fit, style, and personal identity

Stay fast, lightweight, and easy to navigate across mobile and desktop
