FAQ

Which platform should our store use?

Shopify suits most direct-to-consumer brands. Large catalogs, complex pricing or many regions may need a more flexible platform. A good agency recommends based on your operations, not its preference.

What has the most impact on ecommerce conversion?

Product pages, search and checkout. Clear photography, honest delivery information and a short checkout usually matter more than homepage design.

Should brand design and store design be done by the same agency?

It helps when the brand is new, so the store feels like the brand. For an established brand, a commerce specialist working from your guidelines works well.

How do we measure whether a store redesign worked?

Track conversion rate, average order value and revenue per visitor before and after launch, adjusted for seasonality.
