Sharp and Engaging

Not only will your website look great, we design your site to be clean and intuitive, driving up traffic, session length, and conversion rates.

Here’s just some of our shopify expertise to date

Burkes Cycles

We engaged Tama, Paul, Matt and the team at Upshift to address our primary concerns about our established website which was poor, had an unattractive design, ageing software and declining market share. From planning, through to design and implementation we found the process painless & fulfilling. The net result is we now have a website that looks current, flash, is easy to use and is actually working as we had envisioned and hoped (we’ve had an almost 50% increase in conversions since the new site went live!).

So how does this happen?

Brief

We open up discussion around what your current situation is and what you want from your web store. If needed, we can provide you with assistance to create a detailed brief that sets clear expectations.

Scope

Based on the brief, we make a plan that covers the workload of the project. This takes into account a range of factors, including data migration, add-on, customisation's, apps and integrations. This helps us set expectations around time frames and costs.

Structure

"We consider your product and content needs, using this to select one of hundreds of available themes for your store". This allows a seamless user experience, whether they are browsing and researching, or know exactly what they want.

Design

We create a design concept allowing you to visualise the end result. Once you are happy with the concept and it is finalised, we incorporate it throughout the development process to ensure it is reflected in your new store.

Develop

This is where we create the functionality and structure of the store. Using the design concept as a guide, we apply and customised themes. We can do this cleanly and effectively, ensuring that your store is as lightning fast as it is functional. We integrate apps, migrate data and ensure that the store runs as smoothly as possible.

Test

Testing is crucial, so we undertake a wide range of testing including layout, structure, and usability. We make sure that your store is easy to use and rock solid.

Handover

We hand the store over to you. We make you the expert of your site, so you,and your customers can take advantage of its full potential.
