Convert more, retain better

Market-leading customer experiences that convert

As a specialist Shopify UX design agency with over two decades in the business, we know what it takes to create visually impressive Shopify Plus sites that do more than just look pretty. We curate seamless user experiences that strengthen your brand, drive sales and enhance customer loyalty. Here’s how we do it.

01. PLAN

Design research drives the creation of a successful ecommerce site. Our process starts with a user experience workshop, where our design experts sit down with you to better understand the needs of your business and your customers. From there, we create the information architecture, user journeys, and wireframes that give purpose to your new site, combining your branding with airtight Shopify UX design to maximise sales.

02. IMPLEMENT

With a research-backed framework in place, our design team will draw up plans for your new store, including a style guide to ensure that your brand’s personality is prominent on every page. Once you’re happy with it, our development team will bring your beautiful design to life and take it through a rigorous quality assurance process. We make sure everything is perfect for your Shopify store.

03. OPTIMISE

Post-launch, design doesn’t stop. As your brand evolves, our UX experts and designers continually work with you to ensure new Shopify Plus site additions meet user experience best practice. Whether you’re launching a fresh collection of products or introducing a loyalty scheme, we’ll adapt designs to ensure that your conversion-driving user journey remains consistent.
