From mobile-first design, third party integrations and custom Shopify theme development to SEO, performance optimisation and more, we’ve got you covered.
What?
-
Our team of seasoned eCommerce experts will work with you to understand your unique business goals, target audience, and industry landscape to create a plan that is as ambitious as you.
Ensuring your Shopify store works as part of your wider business strategy is key so we’ll work with you to create this alongside any existing CRM, PPC and SEO plans. If you need help establishing these areas of your marketing strategy then we can help there too!
-
Through our wireframe and design stages, we bring to life the user experience, adopting best practice techniques for driving conversion and applying your brand to create a platform that truly represents you.
Our SEO and UX teams will collaborate to establish a logical structure for your shop that streamlines the purchase journey.
With a mobile-first approach, we ensure your Shopify store delivers a seamless and compelling user experience across all devices.
-
Whether you’re looking for a quick launch and want to adopt an existing theme, or create a fully custom theme then we can help.
Our Shopify developers will realise the design vision set, incorporating the highest standards of technical SEO, as well as techniques to optimise performance and security.
We’ll work with your external partners to ensure a seamless integration of tools with your new store so you can relax in the knowledge that the shop is working for you.
-
We have a watertight 3-point internal quality sign-off process that incorporates our QA specialists, product managers and designers reviewing the site.
Once we’re comfortable the site is ready to go live, we’ll pass over to you for one final check over before we launch to capture any last minute tweaking you’d like to make.
We’ll make sure you have training sessions with our team and have guides to assist you along the way. We’re always on hand after launch to answer questions!
-
Beyond launch we support our clients through varying levels of maintenance packages that ensure your Shopify store is running smoothly.
Our CRO and experimentation teams are on hand to optimise the site to meet your goals and keep up with ever changing user behaviours so you stay one step ahead of the competition.
Knowing your new store is performing how you’d like is key so we’ll build custom reporting tools that you can use ongoing.
-
If you want to combine a Shopify store with another content platform then we can help!
Our scalable, secure and dynamic headless solution allows you to integrate multiple back-end content sources to a bespoke front-end experience. The level of flexibility available will unchain your content strategy!
How?
We believe in building strong relationships with you, knowing your business inside and out. You’ll have a dedicated team who will keep you involved through each stage.
No matter how challenging the project, we like to keep things simple so have the following 3-step approach.
-
This is where we get into the details of what you need, such as business objectives, creative approach and integrations. We can also run stakeholder interviews for you.
Market and customer research can help us define priorities for your customers and begin generating ideas that will help you stand out from the competition.
We’ll provide you with a requirements document that includes itemised costs and priority then work with you to adjust priorities to land on a plan you’re happy with.
-
Our team will start bringing the store to life by creating the structure, wireframing the layout, prototyping the experience and applying your brand through responsive designs.
We’ll plan how we integrate with external providers. From managing stock levels to handling orders, we’ll advise the best way to achieve what you need.
The SEO experts will strategise around the content that holds the most value, how pages should be structured, what metadata is valuable and multi-language or location handling.
-
Our development teams either identify an existing theme to customise or begin building your fully bespoke theme, following the approved designs and technical plans.
The wider team begins populating the site with SEO data, product information and rich content.
You’ll receive training and be provided with guides so you’re fully confident in running your new store.
Once our testers have completed their checks, you’ll be able to do an in-depth review of the site before we go live.
When ready, we’ll launch the site and keep an eye on things to make sure everything is running smoothly!
