Often a brand’s e-commerce channel is core to its digital strategy and must work flawlessly with the rest of the business activity.

Building from the ground up on a host of different technologies

We understand that an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution is rarely correct for a client, specifically when looking for a unique, memorable experience. This is why we specialise in working platforms which allow us to craft our vision whilst remaining stable.

These include: Shopify, Woocommerce, Craft Commerce or even custom Laravel builds too.

Finally, a little metaphor!… The end of a busy day, sitting down to browse Netflix can feel overwhelming with countless options available. Netflix excels by breaking these down into smaller, manageable lists like the top ten in the UK or top ten action films. This approach helps viewers quickly find something that suits their mood.

This concept is crucial for e-commerce websites too. With a wide array of products, customers can feel overwhelmed. While showcasing your variety is important, it’s essential to provide filters and categories that help users find the perfect item quickly. Without this, customers might leave before making a purchase, similar to spending half an hour picking a film on Netflix.

By implementing smart filtering and categorisation, you can enhance the shopping experience, keeping customers engaged and more likely to make a purchase.
