In 2020, online shopping accounted for 30% of all retail sales. That’s a huge rise from just 21% in 2019. With much of the UK and the wider world working remotely, ecommerce, already popular with many, is now the go-to way for customers to buy products. Whether fashion, technology, entertainment or homeware, online stores are thriving more than ever.
As a technology agency, we’ve worked on many ecommerce sites and solutions over the years. When it comes to building an online store, large or small, the platform behind it all is everything. That’s why we partner with Shopify to bring our projects to life.
Shopify is a dedicated hosted solution perfect for taking the hassle out of running an online store. Shopify’s strength is in handling the complicated back-end functions such as hosting, inventory and customer data, freeing up your time and resources to focus on your store design, your brand, and your products.
We’re lucky to have an in-house Shopify expert, passionate about Shopify and its many capabilities. Simon Hardy has great brand and agency experience and has recently worked with a number of our clients on their exciting Shopify projects. Simon understands the technical aspects of Shopify, making him your perfect implementation partner.
Our front-end and back-end teams are no strangers to the platform either. With strong and versatile integration options, we’re able to help you get your store off the ground and assist you with any additional web development or brand identity work, to really ensure that your online experience is a cut above the rest.
"We use Shopify because it perfectly suits our agile framework, and we can get things up and running quickly. It’s proven a popular solution with clients and store customers alike, offering a straightforward way to build a great looking store. Its powerful back-end means that it’s neither confusing nor overwhelming."
