Looking for more fromyour online business?

As Henry Ford famously said… “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”. But even that’s quite optimistic as you can actually start getting less. Taking into account the inevitable law of diminishing returns, market changes and technological advances, there will come a time when you’ll need to consider migrating your e-commerce business to a platform that can offer you more or is better aligned with your business model.

You may be using Shopify and considering a jump up to Shopify Plus. You might be running your business on a completely different platform. Whatever you are doing now it’s well worth looking at the pros and cons of climbing the e-commerce ladder to the next level. There may even be some inspiration to be found in your research, discovering exciting new ways to do things that you didn’t know about for example.

Your ecommerce business centres around a few things – your products or services, the energy of your people, interest from customers, relationships with suppliers and seamless connectivity with your ERP (and other essential back-end services) – to name just a few. The hub that brings it all together is your operational platform. From managing your products and orders to delivering a seamless customer experience, the platform you choose can make or break your online success. If your current platform is starting to feel limited, or you’re looking to scale your business, we can work with you on a viability study to see if a move is right for you.

We’ll look at scalability, security, reliability and much more. We’ll ask what your ambitions are and what limiting factors you currently face. When going through this process for a client recently we faced an issue that needed some smart-thinking, design and development. It resulted in the option to display multiple combinations of a highly visual product that were essential to view before buying. We managed to extend beyond some of the Shopify parameters and give them a fantastic outcome (read more here). Shopify is a great ‘plug and play’ platform with scope for so much more, as and when you need it. Shopify and Shopify Plus are both sophisticated but scalable and reassuringly simple to use day-to-day.

Shopify has the bandwidth to ensure that your website stays online and secure at all times – no matter how much traffic you get. When you think about seasonal surges and spikes in your business trading you need to be confident that your platform is robust enough to see you take advantage of every opportunity. No business wants to watch from the sidelines on Black Friday because their online shop is closed.

And call us shallow but we care that your website looks the part. Having the shop window that perfectly reflects your brand and impresses in all the right circles is essential website 101. We don’t start with the aesthetic but we factor it in all the way through.

We can help guide you to the best way to build the right platform for your business whilst ensuring it gets found, seen and used – each and every day.
