Putting user experience at the forefront of the project, we created a clean and simple Shopify website with an accelerated user journey and experience.

What is Shopify and how does it work?
To break it down, Shopify is an ecommerce platform that allows businesses to set up, grow and manage their products and services. Essentially it is your own online store, allowing you to sell in multiple places including the web, on mobile, social media, online marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops.
One of the great benefits of Shopify is its integrated hosting capabilities, meaning maintenance is kept at a minimum, allowing you flexibility from wherever you are.
For more information, read this Shopify Guide.
Which is better: Shopify or Woocommerce?
As we are a full-service digital agency, with expert ecommerce developers, we specialise in both Shopify and Woocommerce, choosing the most suitable platform to suit our clients’ individual needs. We therefore believe neither platform outweighs the other. We can, however, help you make a decision on whether Shopify or Woocommerce is the right option for you and your business.
With the right requirements, Shopify can be the simplest, quickest and easiest to get started with when setting up an ecommerce site. Shopify also eliminates the need for hosting and updates from the client’s end, meaning we take on these responsibilities, supporting you through your ecommerce journey. To compare Shopify to Woocommerce, typically the latter requires stricter maintenance, with self-hosting via WordPress, along with a lengthier set-up process and lack of offline capabilities.

What is Shopify Liquid?
To get more technical, Shopify has its own templating language called Liquid. Developed by Shopify, Liquid has become available as an open-source project and is used widely across software projects, content management systems and site generators. Essentially, Liquid is the bridge between HTML files and data stores (your Shopify site). It means that we are able to access different variables from within a template with a simple and readable syntax.
Utilising Shopify Liquid allows us to create bespoke Shopify sites that are highly customisable and dynamic, improving your store’s performance and integration.
