OUR PROCESS

Building your Shopify website

Building an ecommerce website requires five distinct phases. Each phase needs to be worked through thoroughly and chronologically to ensure the best result. Revisions are completed at the conclusion of each phase to ensure your new ecommerce website design successfully embodies your business vision, goals, needs & values.

This constant revision process allows for a well-thought solution that is tailored to the specific needs of your key user, as well as your business. Secondly, it’s how we ensure that your Shopify website is optimised for site speed, mobile-first design and SEO-ready HTML & content.

1

Website Vision & Brand Positioning

This is the planning. We look at how many products & categories are required in your ecommerce website. We also define the goals, target market and your business values.
2

Wireframing & Site Mapping

The wireframe is put together using the planning from phase one. It's now about designing the structure of the website, deciding where appropriate elements and functionality should sit within your ecommerce website.
3

Visual Page Layout Design

Our Shopify website designers create visual mockups of each main ecommerce website page, category pages & individual products. This is the stage where we start to incorporate imagery, copy & branding elements such as correct fonts, logos and colours.
4

The Build

Upon sign off of visual design layouts, we complete the entire build of your shopify website as per the agreed design.
5

Testing, Implementation & Live

Once the final ecommerce website design is built, we test (mobile, tablet & desktop), attempt to break, host and push the website live.

Our Shopify website focus points:

User Experience
Fast
Functionality
Responsiveness
