Shopify implementation

Your Shopify journey starts here

What can I expect from my Shopify implementation?

Shopify is built to power modern commerce. But just like you wouldn’t build a store on shaky ground, you shouldn’t launch your next chapter on a rushed or one-size-fits-all setup. Implementation is only the beginning: the real impact comes after launch. That’s why we focus on finding the balance between getting you live fast and setting you up for long-term success.

We believe in a phased approach

When working with Shopify, we follow a proven approach - one that’s helped over 100 brands grow faster, smarter, and with confidence. By taking the time to follow every step thoroughly, we make sure you end up with a scalable store. No starting from scratch every time your business is ready to take the next step.

It doesn't end after the go-live

It's never 'done' - but that's the beauty of it! Whether it’s launching new features, optimizing for performance, or adding more automation, we stay by your side as you scale. Our helpdesk is just one message away, and we’re always ready to jump in. When we partner with you, it’s not just for launch - it’s for the long haul.

Our phased approach

1. First meeting

During our first meeting, we listen to your needs and determine wether Shopify is the right choice for you.

If that seems to be the case, we do the necessary research to see what you really need within Shopify.

2. Analysis & Planning

We run a series of workshops to align business goals, technical feasibility, and budget.

By investing time upfront, we de-risk the project, minimising technical surprises, bottlenecks, and budget overruns.

3. Design

In this phase we’ll create a scalable design system in Figma aligned with your brand and the code we’ll be writing. 

Our design approach makes it easier to scale across teams, brands, and markets without starting from scratch each time.

4. Development

We follow an agile approach to deliver structured, iterative progress, with full transparency and flexibility.

Development is broken into two-week sprints, each including planning, execution, demos, and refinement.

5. Go-live

This phase marks the transition from build to live. We implement a phased launch strategy that prioritises stability.

We begin with a soft launch in a low-traffic window, monitor performance in real time, and resolve any final issues before scaling to full traffic and campaigns.

6. Care & growth

We don’t just launch: we optimise and scale. Together, we track key metrics, refine strategy, and ensure continuous growth.

We have a dedicated helpdesk and SLA, ensuring stability and quick issue resolution.
