What is your experience with Shopify and Shopify Plus projects?
As an official Shopify partner, Rainstorm has been crafting custom Shopify and Shopify Plus websites for a range of businesses, from startups to well-established enterprises for 12+ years.
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 an in-depth discovery phase to understand your vision, business goals, and products. This helps us plan a Shopify store that aligns with your brand and maximises sales potential.
2. Design & Development:
Our expert builders craft custom themes and develop key features to bring your ideas to life. Whether integrating essential apps or refining user experience, we build a high-performing store that helps you sell more.
3. Launch & QA:
Before going live, we conduct rigorous testing to ensure seamless functionality, user experience, and speed. But our job doesn’t end there—we support your store post-launch, monitoring performance and fine-tuning it for optimal results across social and other marketing channels.
What is your project management process?
Our project management approach is designed to support your business with clear communication and structured timelines.
Each project is assigned a dedicated manager who ensures every phase aligns with your vision and meets our quality standards.
Your project manager will guide you through the process, providing regular updates and staying available to discuss any ideas or concerns.
Whether we’re developing custom themes, integrating key features, or optimising your online store to sell more products, we build with efficiency.
This structured plan helps us deliver projects on time and within budget—no surprises, just results.
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.
Can you help me migrate my store from WordPress to Shopify?
Definitely! Migrating your store from WordPress (or any other platforms) to Shopify is one of our specialties. We ensure a smooth transition of your product data, customer information, and order histories.
We also handle all the technical aspects, like URL redirects and SEO preservation, to maintain your search engine ranking and provide a seamless shopping experience for your customers.
