About this service

Summary

I offer comprehensive e-commerce website solutions with a Shopify backend and a Webflow front-end, seamlessly integrated using Smootify. My service includes custom 3D product renders, SEO optimization, and a fully responsive design to enhance user experience and drive sales. My unique blend of technical expertise and creative design ensures a standout online store tailored to your brand.

Process

Inspiration & Asset Collection: I will create a moodboard to gather inspiration for the site. I will need brand assets from you, including logos, images, and any specific design preferences.

Design Phase: I will begin designing the Webflow front-end site using Figma, ensuring the design aligns with your brand and vision.

Development Phase: Once the design is approved, I will develop the site in Webflow and connect it to your Shopify store using Smootify. If you don't have a Shopify store yet, I can help set that up.

Testing: We will run comprehensive tests to ensure everything functions correctly and smoothly.

SEO Optimization: I will finalize SEO optimization to improve your site's visibility and organic traffic. This includes creating a blog on your site, which is excellent for SEO as it provides fresh content and engages visitors. Crafting compelling, informative, and relevant content that resonates with your audience not only establishes brand authority but also boosts your site's search engine rankings.

Client Training: I will provide detailed instructions on how to edit content and manage products on your new site.

Handover & Domain Connection: I will hand over the site to you and assist with connecting your custom domain to the Webflow site.

FAQs

How many revision rounds are included?
I offer 2 revision rounds during the design phase of the website and 2 revision rounds for the 3D product renders to ensure your satisfaction.
What is the estimated timeline for project completion?
The average project completion time is 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the website and the number of products.
Do you provide post-launch support?
Yes, I offer 30 days of post-launch support to address any issues or updates needed after your site goes live.
Is hosting and domain registration included?
No, hosting and domain registration are not included. However, I can guide you through the process of setting these up.
Which platforms do you use for building the website?
I use Shopify for the backend and Webflow for the front-end, connected seamlessly with Smootify.
What if I already have a Shopify store and would like to connect it to a Webflow front end site?
That's fine. I will create the Webflow site and connect it to your existing Shopify store. I will get the free Shopify Headless app for your store and, before launch, install the "Hydrogen Redirect" free theme on Shopify. This setup ensures that your main domain is connected to Webflow and a subdomain (like company.myshopify.com) is used for Shopify. This prevents any issues with the checkout process and retains important features like bot detection and discount links.
Can I manage the website content after it's built?
Absolutely! I provide a tutorial on how to manage and update your website content through Shopify and Webflow.
What do I need to provide before the project starts?
I require your brand assets (logo, icon, colors, etc.), product information, and any specific design preferences or examples you like.

I cannot express how amazing working with Andrew was! I was in a tough spot and left with a website that wasn't working before I found Andrew. He rebuilt the website in a week to perfection! I hope I can work with him again soon.

My experience with Andrew was incredible. Not only did they bring my vision to life within budget but they added their 'glitter'. And that's just what it is. When you work with Andrew (and Arthur), the process is as smooth as I've ever experienced. From concept to delivery, it was 5 weeks. And it wasn't a small task. Andrew guided me through the handover seamlessly too, so I'm able to take my own website and run with it. If my experience was out of 5 stars, it would be a 6.
