The aftercare has been sensitive and supportive and we will continue to work with them over the coming months to improve our digital offer.

Discovery
We want to know your story, your motivations and your future plans, to help us build a picture of where you are and where you want to be. Listening is key here and will allow us to propose the correct solution, that is going to yield the best results.
Strategy
Did you know your existing store holds the key to your future success? By analysing how people are finding and interacting with your ecommerce store, we have a much more rounded picture of what is and isn’t working, and where there are opportunities.
Wireframing
To be a success your store needs to be a pleasure to use, be easy to use on all devices and have a simple checkout. We start by having a team whiteboarding session to explore how we can lay out your store and then present polished wireframes for your review.
Creative store design
Templates and off-the-shelf solutions are restrictive and will hold your store back. With our custom approach your new store is designed from a completely blank canvas. This allows us to craft a custom look and feel, true to your brand.
Development
Once you’ve approved the designs we’ll begin integrating your store with WooCommerce, so content and images are fully editable. We’ll also ensure your new ecommerce store is optimised for Google and fully tested on desktop computers, tablets and mobiles.
Delivery & launch
Once your store has been built and content has been added we will fully QA it to make sure nothing has slipped through the cracks. We’ll then share a link for you to view your new store on our test server. Once approved we’ll schedule time to make it live!
Training
We offer full training once your ecommerce store is live. This usually takes 30-45 minutes and can be delivered over the phone or in person. This leaves you confident that you have all the knowledge you need to edit and make changes to your new store.
Ongoing growth
It’s our philosophy to have your best interests at heart, so we’ll regularly analyse your shop’s performance to help you squeeze every last drop of success from it. We use a variety of tools that let us see how your visitors interact with your website so any alterations we make are well informed.ays as effective as possible.
