The Step-by-Step Online Shop Process
-
1. Workshop
We begin with an in-depth workshop to understand your business, goals, and vision for the online shop. This includes brand identity and design preferences, target audience, market needs, technical requirements, and specific features—setting a strong foundation for the project.
-
2. Conception
We define the navigation, structure and content of your store to ensure that all content is properly planned and ensures a seamless user experience. Once you approve this concept, we proceed with the organization or creation of the content.
-
3. Content Creation
We receive all the content for your products, pages, and blog posts from you, or we can create it for you through our production services. This phase is crucial: an online shop only converts if the photography, copy, and videos are optimized, as there is no salesperson available to explain and promote the products to customers.
-
4. Shopify Theme Selection
Now we are ready to start the design process. We select up to three Shopify themes that match your brand identity and technical requirements and present them to you.
-
5. UI/UX Design
We install your chosen Shopify theme and craft a cohesive store experience, designing everything from the homepage and collection pages to product pages, blogs, content pages, and legal texts.
-
6. Backend
We take care of your domain setup and payment integration, along with installing applications like translation and newsletter apps.
-
7. Notifications
Notifications are an essential part of the customer's shopping experience. They confirm orders, provide shipping updates, and notify customers about refunds. We review all notifications to ensure clear and effective messaging.
-
8. Testing
Once everything is set up, we enter the testing phase, where we evaluate the customer experience from start to finish, including checkout, logistics, and delivery.
-
9. Go Live
Once we have incorporated your final feedback and received your approval, we will launch your online store. Congratulations! Your shop is now live, and we’ll be here to support you as you move forward.
