Why It Matters

Why Most Ecommerce Sites Underperform

The store builder is easy. Building a store that actually converts at 3–5% — that's the hard part. Below is what separates the top 10% of Canadian ecommerce sites from the rest.

Canadian Ecommerce Grows 14%/Year

Online retail in Canada is now over $80B annually. Brands without a strong online store are leaving money on the table every quarter.

Mobile = 60% of Orders

Most carts are filled on a phone, not a desktop. If your mobile UX is clunky, you lose orders before checkout — Shopify says ~30% of carts are lost on mobile alone.

Cart Abandonment is 70%

Industry average is brutal. The fix isn't more emails — it's better checkout UX, transparent shipping, multiple payment options, and fast load times.

Payment Options Cost You Sales

Stripe + Apple Pay + Google Pay + ShopPay covers 95% of preferences. Missing one? You lose 3–5% of orders, every month.

Shopify Wins SMB

For $0–5M brands, Shopify is the highest-ROI platform. Fast launch, solid apps, predictable hosting. We build clean themes that don't bloat the cart.

Custom Beats Template Past $1M

Once you cross $1M GMV, theme limitations start costing real money. Headless or custom Shopify themes pay for themselves in months.

Speed = Money

1 second of extra load time = 7% drop in conversions. We hit Lighthouse 90+ on mobile, even on heavy product catalogs.

SEO-Ready Architecture

Most ecommerce themes ship with thin product pages, slow JS, and weak schema. We build with proper Product schema, fast pages, and content that ranks.

How We Work

Our Ecommerce Build Process

1 — Discovery & Platform Selection

Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, headless? We pick based on your products, scale, team, and budget. Recommendation in writing within 48 hours.

2 — Brand & Visual Design

Custom theme design — homepage, collection, product, cart, checkout. Mockups in Figma, approved before any development starts.

3 — Theme & Custom Functionality

Clean Liquid (Shopify) or PHP (WooCommerce) — no app overload. Custom features (subscriptions, B2B pricing, multi-currency) built right.

4 — Product Catalog & Migration

If you're moving from another platform, we handle the migration: products, customers, orders, redirects. Zero data loss, minimum downtime.

5 — Payment, Shipping & Tax Setup

Stripe, ShopPay, Apple/Google Pay, Canada Post integration, automatic tax calculation by province. Test orders end-to-end before launch.

6 — Launch & Conversion Optimization

Soft launch, full launch, then ongoing CRO — A/B test product pages, checkout flow, upsells. We don't stop at "live," we keep optimizing.

Whether it's your first store or a migration off Magento, every project follows the same six steps with a fixed quote and timeline.
