STEP 1
The eCommerce Blueprint
You can’t achieve your goals if you don’t know what they are, so stage one of working with us is creating your eCommerce Blueprint.
Working with our head digital strategist, you’ll explore and define your business objectives and goals. This includes conducting a competitive analysis and analysing your Google Analytics for important KPI (key performance indicators) metrics like:
- Traffic sources
- Popular brands and products
- Determine your conversion rate, add to basket rate abandon cart rate, & exit rate
- Understand your eCommerce past performance and campaigns
- Analyse current paid advertising campaigns
- Explore how customer acquisition currently works
- Analyse your market (customers and competitors)
- Review any integrations (like EPOS integrations that you have or need, email automations and customer loyalty systems)
- Figure out what migrations are needed (customers, products & past orders
- Decide on the right platform and technologies for your project

The eCommerce Blueprint
Collecting all of this information and putting an effective, well-researched success plan together can typically take 3 or more consultations.
At the end of the process we have a solid solution to take your website and marketing to the next level with clear deliverables, delivered in an easy-to-understand presentation with transparent pricing.
STEP 2
Project Kickstart & Content
With a clear plan of action, it’s time to kickstart your project, starting with an introduction to the team you will be working with.
Depending on your needs, we’ll:
- Schedule content and design workshops with your writers and designers
- Set up your project in our project management system Teamwork, giving you and
your team access to instant project, tasks, and milestone updates - Walk you through our design process and software
- Begin collating (or creating) the content and products needed for your project
- Start looking at migrating you (if required) from your current provider

STEP 3
UX/UI Design
With all content, product info, and resources gathered, it’s time to start designing your website.
Through our extensive eCommerce Blueprint discovery sessions, our designers will know exactly what you like, what you don’t and what you need to achieve your goals.
Every eCommerce website we create goes through a detailed design survey and collaborative process – which enables each client to work with our project manager to create a unique style and design that matches their brand personality.
We’ll work on a brand stylescape (including logo and brand assets) for your project, giving you an early look at the visual direction we are taking. Stylescapes usually include colour scheme, fonts, icons, backgrounds, graphics, UI elements (buttons and popups and form elements).

UX/UI Design
Our eCommerce project manager will now work with you to create an enjoyable customer journey through the website, making sure that important things like the checkout process are simple and easy to use.
When you have signed off on the stylescape and logo we will mock-up the home page allowing you to review and provide input and then when you are signed off, we will design all the remaining inner pages for your website.
We start our designs with desktop designs and follow up with mobile designs, if these are part of your scope of work. Once you have signed off on the final designs, it's time to begin building your site.
STEP 4
Website Development
Next, our team of web developers will build your website, bringing the designs we’ve created together to life.
With Teamwork (our project management software) in place, our operations manager can ensure everything is running on-time and on-budget. You’ll have access to real-time updates on your project’s progress – to keep you up-to-date and in-the-know.
We’ll migrate your products, previous orders, and customer accounts to your new website. We’ll also set up your integrations and work with your third party providers, like your EPOS company, to make sure your website is working to its full potential.

STEP 5
Usability Testing
Now your website is fully built, it’s time to test it! This involves our eagle-eyed developers and staff hunting down any possible issues from the build process. If any are found, they’re fixed so your website is customer-ready for your launch.
At this point, you’re also invited to do a last check of the site to make sure you’re happy with how it looks and works.
We can also offer a selection of users to test your website to provide valuable feedback on the average user’s experience.

STEP 6
Website Management Training
With all our websites we include staff training – the level of detail and complexity this goes into is entirely your choice.
Depending on how your business runs, you may need to update your website daily, weekly, monthly, or less often.
We break website training into two phases to help you get the most out of it.
The first session shows you the ropes of how your new site works, covering the basics to get you comfortable adding new products, updating text and graphics, and working in the admin area.

Website Management Training
The second training session takes place a few weeks after your website goes live. Once you’ve had the chance to get some hands-on experience with how your site works, it’s time to dive into some more advanced functionality.
Our friendly team can show you and your staff how to add products, fulfill orders, send tracking codes, send marketing emails, run refunds, look up orders and customers, generate eCommerce reports, handle the accounting side of things, request support, add blog posts, edit pages, swap out slideshow graphics, run promotions... and pretty much everything else you can think of.
STEP 7
Launch
After your project is fully tested and gets your approval, it’s time to LAUNCH and your new website is live!
Our websites are carefully crafted to such a high standard, we even include a 30-day guarantee with free bug fixing.
