how we work

From Start to Finish:
Our Comprehensive Plan for a Successful Shopify Project

Delivering a high-quality solution that meets your specific requirements and exceeds your expectations.

Get in touch
1. Requirements Gathering

The first step in designing and building a Shopify website is to have a clear understanding of the client's goals and requirements. We can either setup online meetings or arrange to visit you on site or for you to visit us at our Northampton studio. In this meeting we will aim to gather as much information about your business, target audience, products, services, branding guidelines, and desired features. Once we have this we will then create a project plan that outlines the scope, timeline, and budget.

2. Design and Wireframing

Once we have a clear understanding of the client's requirements, we can then begin the design process. Creating wireframes or mockups of the website layout which will be shared with the client at key stages for input and to make any changes. Once the client has finalised the design and everything has been approved we will then move into the development phase.

3. Development and Configuration

In this step, we will start building the Shopify website based on the approved design by setting up a development environment and either installing the necessary Shopify theme or creating a custom theme. The build process will include integrating any required third-party apps, configuring shipping options as well as payment gateways and customising the theme according to the design. Once the development is coming close to the end we will invite you in to review and make any tweaks.

4. Content and Visual Creation

Once the basic structure and functionality of the website are in place, it's time to populate it with content. This will depend slightly if we are doing a redesign or if we are starting from scratch. Either way we will work with the client to gather and create high-quality content which will improve visibility and organic traffic. We will also aid with any other visual content required.

5. Testing and Quality Assurance

Before launching the website, thorough testing and quality assurance are crucial. We test all aspects of the website, including its responsiveness across different devices, functionality of all features and integrations, checkout process, and overall user experience. We will also fix any bugs or issues that arise during testing to ensure a smooth user experience.

6. Launch and Support

After completing the testing and quality assurance phase, it's time to launch the Shopify website. We will configure your domain to the Shopify website. Set up any necessary website analytics and tracking tools to monitor performance. Once the website is live we offer a 30 day support period where any bugs will be fixed free of charge. After the 30 days we will look to setup a support package to continue to maintain the website and build a long lasting relationship.
