Every Ecommerce Decision Starts With Data

We approach ecommerce as a full customer lifecycle, from the first click to repeat purchase, loyalty, and everything in between. That means the data has to work from day one: clean tracking, reliable attribution, and insights your team can actually act on.

How We Build Ecommerce

Every ecommerce engagement starts with understanding where you are and where you need to go. Some clients come with a clear brief, others with a problem to solve. Either way, we work across the full ecommerce stack, from the initial build through to integrations, data, and ongoing optimisation. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Ecommerce discovery and strategy services including customer journey mapping, platform recommendations, and integration landscape planning

1. Discovery & Ecommerce Strategy

Before any build decision is made, we audit what you already have, analytics, customer behaviour, funnel performance, tech stack, and commercial metrics, to understand where revenue is being left on the table. From there, we map your customer lifecycle: how people find you, what makes them buy, what brings them back, and where you’re losing them. Strategy, platform choice, and roadmap all flow from that picture.

What this includes:

  • Analytics and funnel audit
  • Customer journey and lifecycle mapping
  • Platform assessment and recommendation
  • Solution architecture and integration requirements
  • Ecommerce roadmap and prioritisation
Ecommerce UX and UI design services covering wireframing, prototyping, design systems, and accessibility and performance testing

2. UI/UX Design of Commerce Experience

Ecommerce design is about removing friction between intent and purchase, beautifully. We design commerce experiences grounded in user behaviour data: heatmaps, session recordings, funnel drop-off analysis, and competitive benchmarking. Every design decision is tied back to a commercial outcome, and we prototype and test before anything gets built.

  • User journey and funnel mapping
  • Wireframing and interactive prototyping
  • UX/UI design and design system creation
  • Usability and accessibility testing (WCAG)
  • Mobile-first responsive design
  • Design QA against SEO, accessibility, and performance standards

3. Ecommerce Implementation

We implement ecommerce platforms the right way: clear architecture, clean data, and a build process that accounts for what happens after launch. For B2C and D2C, we focus on acquisition, conversion, and retention across the full customer lifecycle. For B2B, we design for real complexity: customer-specific pricing, quote workflows, and self-service portals that reduce the burden on your sales team. For multi-market rollouts, we build reusable codebases that allow for localisation without rebuilding from scratch. Where a traditional platform has become the bottleneck, we design headless commerce solutions that are modular and built to evolve.

What this includes:

  • Adobe Commerce (Magento), Optimizely Commerce, Shopify Plus and BigCommerce implementation and migration
  • B2C and D2C storefront design and build
  • B2B commerce and customer portal development
  • Account-based pricing and quoting
  • Multi-market and multi-language ecommerce
  • Omnichannel strategy and implementation
  • Platform configuration, catalogue setup, and data migration
  • Performance optimisation
  • Headless commerce architecture and design
  • Frontend decoupling and CMS integration

4. Integrations

Your ecommerce platform is the centre of an ecosystem. How well it connects to your CRM, ERP, loyalty program, and logistics provider determines how well your business actually runs. We've built and connected ecommerce ecosystems across CRM, ERP, PIM, DAM, CDP, payment gateways, logistics providers, loyalty platforms, and marketplaces, from a single integration on a lean build to a full enterprise data mesh.

What this includes:

  • CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics)
  • ERP integration (SAP, NetSuite, MYOB)
  • PIM and DAM integration
  • CDP and data platform integration
  • Payment and checkout optimisation
  • Logistics and fulfilment integration
  • Marketplace integration (Amazon, eBay, and others)
  • Loyalty and retention platform integration
CRO consulting services covering frameworks, checklists, documentation, and team capability building

5. Launch & Ongoing BAU Support

Go-live is managed with staging environments, rollback plans, and coordinated support. Post-launch, we transition into BAU support, ongoing development, or a structured growth program, whatever suits where you are. Most of our ecommerce clients stay with us well past the initial build.

What this includes:

  • Staged deployment and go-live management
  • Post-launch monitoring and issue resolution
  • BAU support and ongoing development retainer
Ecommerce data analytics and optimisation services covering tracking setup, GA4 implementation, dashboards, and CRO reporting

6. Data Analytics & Ongoing Optimisation

Getting live is the beginning. The data you collect from that point forward is what drives every good decision after. We build tracking right from the start: clean GA4 implementation, accurate attribution, dashboards your team will actually use. From there, we run structured CRO programs: auditing, hypothesising, testing, and compounding improvements over time.

What this includes:

  • Ecommerce tracking audit and GA4 implementation
  • Funnel and checkout analysis
  • Customer segmentation and lifecycle reporting
  • A/B and multivariate testing
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • Personalisation strategy and implementation
