Our team has deep expertise in navigating the complexities of both platforms, ensuring a seamless setup, efficient operation, and scalable growth.
We’re proud to say we’ve turned numerous ideas into successful online stores that thrive in competitive markets.
Can you explain your process for optimising the Shopify store for mobile phones?
Absolutely! Ensuring your Shopify store is optimised for mobile is crucial, as a significant portion of online shopping is done via smartphones.
We start by implementing responsive design principles that adjust seamlessly to any screen size.
We then optimise images and interfaces to speed up loading times and enhance user experience, ensuring your mobile users enjoy browsing your store as much as desktop users.
What strategies do you recommend for SEO and how do you implement them on Shopify stores?
We build your Shopify store with SEO-friendly architecture and follow the best coding practices, ensuring your website ticks all the boxes for modern search engines.
This solid foundation is crucial for making sure your site ranks well and draws the right kind of visitors.
What is your process from start to finish on a Shopify store setup?
From initial consultation to launch, our process is designed to be transparent and collaborative.
1. Discovery: We start with a discovery phase to understand your vision and requirements.
2. Design & Development: We move into design and development, where your ideas start taking shape.
3. Launch & QA: After rigorous testing to ensure functionality and user experience, we go live. But our job doesn’t end there; we closely monitor your Shopify site to optimise performance and address any immediate needs.
What is your project management process?
Our project management approach centers on clear communication and structured timelines. Each project is assigned a dedicated manager who ensures that every phase meets our quality standards and your expectations.
Your project manager will keep you updated with regular progress reports and are always available to discuss any concerns or ideas you might have along the way. This system helps us deliver projects on time and within budget, without any surprises.
Do you have any case studies or examples of your work?
Certainly! We’d be happy to provide links to some successful Shopify stores that we've built.
What training and support do you offer post-launch?
Before your store goes live, we provide comprehensive training on how to manage and maintain your Shopify theme effectively.
Additionally, we offer ongoing support after going live to guarantee your store remains operational, updated, and secure at all times.
You can count on us for any issues that arise or for further enhancements you may need.
