01 — The challenge

A respected product brand held back by an insecure, dated buying experience.

Molnar Technologies had a strong reputation in high-performance connecting rods and crankshaft components, but its prior Wix website created limitations in performance, trust and long-term ecommerce growth.

01

Payment-security exposure

The previous setup exposed a payment-security risk that could undermine buyer confidence and constrain online growth.

02

Dated product experience

The buying journey did not fully reflect the quality, precision and professional reputation of the Molnar brand.

03

Limited growth foundation

The business needed a more secure ecommerce structure with better product discovery, stronger trust and room to scale.

Starting point

A limited Wix storefront with a critical checkout-security concern.

New foundation

A professional, secure and scalable ecommerce experience built for growth.

02 — What VICI did

Security, product structure and conversion—rebuilt as one connected system.

VICI migrated the store from Wix, closed the checkout-security gap and redesigned the storefront around the Molnar brand, technical catalog and customer buying journey.

Secure ecommerce migration

Moved Molnar Technologies away from Wix and onto a stronger ecommerce foundation designed for reliable growth.

01

Safer checkout workflow

Resolved the critical payment-security issue and implemented a more secure path through checkout.

02

Brand-aligned storefront

Rebuilt the visual and structural experience to better represent Molnar’s premium engineering and product line.

03

Product collection architecture

Organized collections and navigation so automotive parts are easier to browse, compare and purchase.

04

Product-page optimization

Improved presentation, merchandising and conversion flow across technical product pages.

05

SEO and growth foundation

Established a stronger structure for trust, search visibility, conversion optimization and future growth.

06

03 — Experience transformation

From friction and risk to a clearer, more credible buying journey.

The rebuild connected security, navigation, product presentation and brand credibility so customers could move from browsing to checkout with greater confidence.

Before the rebuild

A storefront that did not match the product quality.

The prior experience limited Molnar’s ability to present its catalog professionally and safely support long-term ecommerce growth.

  • A checkout-security gap created avoidable payment risk.
  • The dated buying experience weakened trust and brand presentation.
  • Product discovery and navigation were not structured for scalable growth.
After the migration

Secure, organized and designed to convert.

A cleaner storefront, logical product collections and optimized product pages now support a safer path from discovery to purchase.
