Migration & Replatforming

Our team is always ready to be your end-to-end Shopify partner, but we get it, not every brand needs a full redesign or rebuild to hit their goals. That's why we offer a migration and replatforming service, transforming your existing work to unleash its full potential on Shopify. Let's elevate your store without the overhaul!

What is migration and replatforming?

Migration and replatforming is like upgrading your flagship store. Maybe you want more foot traffic, a prestigious location, or a better ROI. Our team ensures everything is moved, polished, and ready to dazzle for your grand opening on Shopify. Let's make your store shine!

How can migration and replatforming boost your brand?

Our developers bring unmatched platform expertise, just like our entire agency. If Shopify is your brand's choice, we ensure a smooth, quick transition. Using proven techniques and a unique QA process, we've migrated brands of all sizes across various platforms.

We specialize in making Shopify work for you, leveraging its top-tier checkout, evolving features, and extensive app ecosystem to grow your business.

→ Site Speed Development

→ Shopify Checkout Customization

While Shopify sites have always been customizable to an extent, there was a time in the pretty recent past when a Shopify site was more recognizably Shopify than any particular brand. The last area where that was the case was the checkout - but, for Shopify Plus customers, it doesn’t have to be anymore! Brands can now customize their checkout to better represent their brand and better suit their needs.

→ In-housing Functionality

During the lifespan of a Shopify site, there’ll be times when growing and scaling a brand leads to you outgrowing some of the apps that were essential during your formative years. Whether that’s because it isn’t capable of scaling with you, or the need for other, more important features are beginning to cause performance issues, in-housing functionality can be the answer.

→ UX & UI Development

From site navigation to all the fun things you can do with buttons, user experience and user interface development plays a vital role in how every single customer experiences your website (and interacts with it, to be fair). Providing the best customer experience isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’, it can be the difference between a sale and an abandoned basket.
