A website is never done – having an effective website is an iterative process. It’s a mistake to redesign and then leave it as it is. Not only do you want to update the content regularly, but it’s important to continually be analyzing stats, trying experiments, and making changes that will increase sales on the site. All of which we do at our Shopify web design agency.

In the book, Think Again, by Adam Grant, he references a research study where they tested scientific thinking for startup businesses. Startups in the control group averaged under $300 in revenue during the study. The startups that the researchers taught scientific thinking methods to did astonishingly better. They averaged over $12,000 in revenue during this time.

That’s a huge difference, and speaks to being willing to experiment, research, and try again. There is so much to do to see consistent growth and marketing success. And it’s hard to get all your ongoing Shopify website maintenance and strategic optimization done in-house. What would it be like if you could have an ecommerce strategist, brand designer, web designer, developer, copywriter, photographer, and marketing experts on your team, without having to hire any new employees or find a bunch of freelancers?

Hello from your new Shopify design agency: us!

You can retain our whole team on an ongoing basis, all focused on improving your site. One month it may be strategy and website improvements, the next you may have us working on new email campaigns while designing packaging for you, then the next we’ve moved on to SEO and updates to your site navigation.

Whatever you need, you have our entire expert team by your side. And if you don’t know what you need? We’ll have analyzed your stats and have a long list of money-making ideas for you.

What we offer

Grow a customer base/hone your brand

Why? You need the traction that comes from having a standout brand.

Does it feel like things aren’t quite clicking? How can you get that group of loyal customers that just grows and grows over time (and keeps returning)? The trick is all about your brand strategy, then figuring out how to broadcast that to the right people. We can help with discovery, brand development, and content creation.

  • Brand strategy (target customers, competitor research, differentiation)
  • Marketing strategy (email marketing, social media marketing)
  • Written content for email marketing, social media, and your website
  • Email template design
  • Social media graphic design templates
  • Blog posts or email newsletters (copywriting)

Get more traffic

Why? Even the best website won’t pay off without the traffic to support it.

Even at a strong conversion rate, the vast majority of visitors to your site won’t make a purchase. That’s why you need to get thousands of visitors each month to be able reach your goals. For those people who don’t purchase, it’s important to get them on your mailing list – it can take up to fifteen visits before someone purchases, and you can keep them coming back while building their trust.

  • Klaviyo email software setup & strategy
  • Klaviyo SMS setup & strategy
  • Automated emails (welcome, abandoned cart, and more)
  • Email content and template design
  • SEO best practices setup
  • SEO consultation & road map
  • SEO copywriting for your website 

Add features to your website

Why? Certain extras make it easier or more compelling to make a purchase.

Subscriptions are popular right now, and are a great way to get recurring revenue from your best customers. Product reviews are so important for helping people make a purchase. And if you have a brick and mortar shop, there are many ways to continue to serve your local customers from your website.

  • Customizable products
  • Subscription products or boxes
  • Fabric yardage feature
  • Calculators (think tile, wallpaper, fabric)
  • Product reviews, chat, and Q&A
  • Gift cards
  • Local delivery and/or pickup
  • Events calendar / online classes
  • Integrate new apps
