Workflow and opportunity mapping; Privacy and risk boundaries; Evaluation and scenario testing; Training and operating guidance Founder perspective: International AI programmes need shared controls and room for legitimate market differences. "A useful assistant needs more than a capable model. It needs approved source material, clear permissions, reliable integrations, human review and an owner for the result.

Entity and topic coverage reviews; Answer-focused content structure; Schema and source clarity; AI-search referral monitoring Founder perspective: International SEO starts with clear ownership for every market and URL. "Strong global search architecture makes it obvious which page should rank, who it serves and how regional versions relate.

The foundations overlap, so we manage them as one connected programme. - Do you create a separate page for every suburb or city?: No. We start with strong service and market pages. A city or subservice page is added only when there is distinct demand, a genuinely different offer and enough useful proof to make the page valuable on its own. - Is internal linking a separate service?: Internal linking is included within our SEO architecture work. We map descriptive links between services, industries, locations, case studies and articles before considering a separate landing page. - Can you protect rankings during a website migration?: Yes. We plan content mapping, redirects, canonicals, structured data, internal links and pre-launch QA, then monitor Search Console closely after launch. - How do you measure SEO performance?: We establish a Search Console and analytics baseline, then track indexation, relevant queries, impressions, clicks, click-through rate, conversions and page overlap against agreed priorities. #### United Kingdom URL: https://newsiteagency.com/gb/services/seo We connect technical SEO, useful UK content and clear entity signals so organisations can build relevant visibility in Google and AI-assisted discovery.

Its offer spans outdoor living, prefabricated spaces, fixtures and fittings, and an innovation division exploring new ideas across architecture, construction, property and the built environment. The project required more than a corporate website: the group needed a clear identity that could hold those varied offers together and create room for future brands. ## The Challenge The group serves both specialist partners and project customers, so its identity and digital experience had to make a sophisticated business-development model feel direct, premium and credible. Key challenges included: - Presenting several managed brands under one coherent group identity. - Creating a visual language that felt architectural without becoming conventional or corporate. - Explaining the partner network clearly to manufacturers and suppliers. - Speaking credibly to architects, builders, developers and property teams. - Turning a relationship-led service into a focused website journey. - Creating room for new brands, offers and market sectors over time. ## A Brand Built Around Space and Structure New Site Agency developed a typographic identity that reflects the scale and precision of the built environment. A tall condensed wordmark gives Arch Spaces a strong architectural rhythm, while the lighter “Group” treatment creates hierarchy without separating the name into disconnected parts. The sky-blue palette brings openness and confidence to the system. It also provides a distinctive field for the white wordmark and works naturally with architectural imagery, open landscapes and material-led photography. Arch Spaces Group wordmark positioned above a contemporary timber building in an open landscape ## A Flexible Identity System The brand was designed as a system rather than a single fixed lockup. The words can be centred, stacked, extended horizontally or placed into a corner composition while retaining the same type, colour and tonal hierarchy. These configurations give the group flexibility across website sections, social content, presentations and future brand applications. The identity can become an assertive headline when space is limited or a more restrained signature when imagery needs to lead.

## From Brand to Website The website extends the identity through generous space, confident typography, architectural imagery and a restrained content system. New Site Agency built the experience around the group’s partner proposition and its understanding of how products are specified, sold and used in Australian projects. The homepage moves from a strong positioning statement into the managed brand portfolio, partner process, audience benefits and practical answers to common questions. Each section gives prospective partners enough context to understand the model and a clear route to start a conversation. The flexible wordmark system supports that experience by shifting between high-impact brand moments and quieter applications where the group’s projects, partners or materials need to remain central. ## Key Deliverables - Brand positioning and visual identity. - Flexible typographic wordmark system. - Colour and composition direction. - Brand and website information architecture. - Responsive corporate website development. - Managed-brand and service positioning. - Partner acquisition and enquiry pathways. - Built-environment audience messaging. - Technical SEO and structured content foundations. - Scalable sections for future brands and initiatives. ## The Outcome Arch Spaces Group now has a recognisable identity and a clear digital home for presenting its brands, partner process and Australia-wide reach. The visual system gives the business consistency across different formats, while the website helps premium suppliers understand how the group supports positioning, specification and customer acquisition before moving into a partnership conversation. ### Aussie Music Store Brand Identity URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/aussie-music-store-branding Client: Aussie Music Store Industry: Music Retail, Brand Identity, E-commerce Service categories: ecommerce, web-development Industry categories: retail-ecommerce A bold Australian music retail identity built around a guitar-pick mark, expressive typography and a flexible digital brand system. ## Background Aussie Music Store brings instruments, recording equipment, live-sound gear and accessories together for musicians across Australia. The brand needed an identity that felt unmistakably musical and local while remaining clear enough for a product-rich retail environment. The project centred on creating a memorable visual idea that could move confidently from a compact logo to merchandise, campaigns and a complete e-commerce experience. ## The Challenge Music retail is visually crowded. Product photography, manufacturer branding, promotional messages and technical information all compete for attention, so the identity had to be distinctive without making the shopping experience harder to use. The brand system needed to: - Create a recognisable idea beyond a conventional music-store wordmark. - Feel expressive and approachable while retaining retail clarity. - Stay legible across navigation, search, packaging, merchandise and campaigns. - Support both compact and high-impact compositions. - Connect brand personality with practical product discovery. ## A Recognisable Australian Music Identity The central device is a guitar-pick shape: an immediate music cue and a flexible container for the name. A flowing script gives “Aussie” warmth and character, while the condensed uppercase “Music Store” descriptor adds structure and keeps the category clear. Red and white create a direct, energetic palette that works in positive and reversed applications. The result feels confident at large scale but remains identifiable when reduced to a header logo or small retail touchpoint.

## A Flexible Logo System The identity can move between a contained pick mark, an open wordmark and cropped graphic compositions. That flexibility allows the same brand to feel controlled in functional areas and more expressive in campaign-led moments. Light and dark pick treatments preserve contrast across different backgrounds, while oversized crops turn the logo into a recognisable graphic asset rather than a mark that always needs to sit neatly in the centre.

## From Identity to Retail Expression The system extends beyond the logo through musician-led imagery and branded merchandise. The red cap application demonstrates how the script mark can carry the identity independently, while the tightly controlled colour treatment keeps photography connected to the wider visual language. On the e-commerce experience, the identity supports rather than competes with shopping. The red palette guides primary actions and promotional areas, while a clear search experience, product-category navigation and rounded imagery keep a broad catalogue approachable.

## The Outcome Aussie Music Store now has a cohesive identity that can move from a small digital mark to merchandise, photography and large campaign compositions. The guitar-pick device gives the brand an ownable music cue, and the typography and colour system provide enough flexibility for both expressive storytelling and practical retail communication. The e-commerce application brings those elements together in a recognisable customer experience without losing the clarity required for search, category browsing and product discovery.

As CabFare’s wider digital experience evolved, the app needed a clearer and more consistent interface to match. We worked with the CabFare team to redesign the product around the needs of drivers using it throughout a busy working day. This project focused on the app experience itself. It complements our broader [CabFare website, SEO, and digital growth work](/work/cabfare-payments). ## The Challenge The existing app contained the right core functions, but the experience had grown visually inconsistent. Dense screens, competing actions, and uneven patterns made important information harder to scan quickly. The redesign needed to: - Create a cleaner visual hierarchy across the complete app. - Make high-frequency tasks easier to identify and complete. - Establish consistent patterns for navigation, cards, forms, actions, and status messages. - Bring the product closer to CabFare’s updated brand and Tap to Pay proposition. - Keep the interface practical for drivers using the app between fares and while managing a shift. ## A Clearer Driver Dashboard We reorganised the home experience around the information and actions drivers need most often. Meter connection status is immediately visible, shift performance is easier to scan, and the primary payment action has a clear position in the hierarchy. Secondary areas—including payments, payouts, settings, and messages—use a consistent navigation system so drivers can move around the app with less visual friction. Before and after comparison of the CabFare driver app dashboard redesign ## Simplifying Payments and Receipts Payment completion and receipt sharing are important moments in the driver and rider journey. We redesigned these screens to make the completed state unmistakable and grouped receipt options into clear, descriptive actions. Drivers can quickly understand the fare total and service fee, then choose to view the receipt, show a QR code, or send a digital copy. The revised layout removes unnecessary empty space and creates a more confident end to the payment flow. Before and after comparison of the CabFare payment receipt experience ## Building a Consistent Product System The new interface uses a shared set of patterns across the app rather than treating every screen as a separate design. Cards, buttons, form fields, icons, status colours, spacing, and navigation now follow the same visual logic. That system was applied across: - Driver, vehicle, and meter connection states. - Tap to Pay setup and payment actions. - Fare extras and settings. - Payout updates and in-app messages. - Digital receipt delivery by email, SMS, and QR code. CabFare driver app screens showing the redesigned dashboard, settings, messages, payments, and receipt flows ## Google Play and Apple App Store Creative The redesign extended beyond the product interface into the way CabFare presents the app before download. We designed coordinated screenshot sequences for Google Play and the Apple App Store, adapting the layouts to each platform and market format. Each sequence turns the app’s core value into a concise visual story: accepting rider payments with a phone, getting started quickly, supporting cards and digital wallets, reviewing transactions, sharing receipts and accessing payouts. Product screens, device photography, direct headlines and trust messages work together so prospective drivers can understand the offer at a glance.

## The Outcome The redesign gives CabFare a cleaner and more coherent mobile product direction across the app and its store presence. Important actions are easier to distinguish, information is grouped more clearly, and repeated interface patterns make the experience feel consistent from the first store impression through to payment completion. The resulting design system also gives the CabFare product team a stronger foundation for future app features, helping new screens remain aligned with the same interaction and visual principles. For drivers, the experience is more focused and easier to scan. For CabFare, the app now presents a modern product experience that better reflects the company’s payments technology and wider digital brand. ### CabFare’s Digital Transformation Journey URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/cabfare-payments Client: CabFare Payments Industry: Payments, Taxi & Rideshare Service categories: web-development, seo, google-ads-ppc, framer-agency Industry categories: finance Discover how we transformed CabFare’s digital presence with a Framer site, SEO, Google Ads, and conversion-focused product landing pages. ## Background CabFare, a long-standing Australian taxi payments provider, was competing in a market dominated by legacy operators. Their outdated website and fragmented digital presence made it difficult to attract new drivers, promote referral programs, or highlight their modern EFTPOS and Tap to Pay solutions. The brand needed a scalable, SEO-driven platform to support its national expansion, streamline product messaging, and better connect with both drivers and fleets. ## The Challenge **Outdated Website:** Legacy content and design failed to reflect CabFare’s position as a modern payments innovator. **Low Visibility:** Weak search rankings meant drivers searching for “taxi EFTPOS machine Australia” often found competitors first. **Fragmented Messaging:** Product details, referral programs, and state-specific information weren’t structured for easy navigation or conversion. **Compliance Requirements:** As a regulated financial services provider, the site needed to handle strict disclosure, security, and compliance standards. CabFare's outdated website before migration — Existing site before migration ## The Solution **Migration to Framer:** New Site Agency rebuilt CabFare’s site on Framer, delivering a sleek, responsive design optimised for performance and SEO. **Structured Content:** We introduced a robust site architecture with dedicated pages for Products, Solutions, State-specific landing pages, and a growing Glossary to build topical authority. **SEO Optimisation:** Schema, internal linking, and keyword-targeted copywriting lifted rankings for high-intent terms such as “taxi EFTPOS terminal” and “rideshare Tap to Pay.” **Product Focus:** Dedicated product pages (EFTPOS Terminal, Tap to Pay App, Connect API) now highlight features, benefits, and compliance details in a clear and accessible way. **Driver Referral Program:** Landing pages and promo integrations were designed to scale CabFare’s $100 sign-up bonus offer and boost driver acquisition. ### Paid Search & Conversion Tracking We launched focused Google Ads campaigns around high-intent, exact-match searches used by taxi drivers and fleet operators actively comparing payment solutions. Campaigns were organised by product and audience so searches for taxi EFTPOS, Tap to Pay, terminals, and fleet payment technology led to the most relevant landing page rather than a generic homepage. Conversion tracking was configured across the complete enquiry journey. Form submissions and key contact actions were recorded as Google Ads conversions, giving CabFare a clearer view of which keywords and landing pages were generating qualified interest. This made it possible to optimise budgets around meaningful enquiries and sign-up intent, not clicks alone. ## Results CabFare went from a static site to a fast, structured, and conversion-driven platform within 90 days. With optimised landing pages and clear product positioning, the company is now ranking higher for competitive industry keywords, improving acquisition across Australia. **Key Wins:** - **+65% increase in organic traffic** within the first three months. - **Faster launch cycles** for campaigns and promotions thanks to flexible CMS structure. - **Improved conversions** on driver sign-up and referral pages. - **More accountable paid acquisition** through exact-match campaigns and end-to-end conversion tracking. - **Stronger compliance alignment** across all customer-facing pages. CabFare's new Framer site homepage CabFare's new Framer site product page — New Framer site post-launch > "CabFare’s new platform has completely repositioned us in the market. Drivers now find us first, and we can launch campaigns with speed and confidence." `— Arthur A, Founder and CEO, CabFare` ### Fresh Connection’s Migration to Shopify & Digital Transformation URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/fresh-connection Client: Fresh Connection Industry: Grocery, Retail, E-Commerce Service categories: ecommerce, web-development, google-ads-ppc Industry categories: retail-ecommerce See how New Site Agency migrated Fresh Connection to Shopify, adding grocery-specific features, digital marketing, and streamlined e-commerce operations. ## Background Fresh Connection is a local fruit and vegetable store in Brighton, Victoria. While well known in the community, the business relied solely on in-store sales and lacked a digital presence. To future-proof operations and reach new customers, Fresh Connection needed to move online with a scalable e-commerce solution. ## The Challenge - **No online store:** Customers had no way to shop digitally or schedule delivery/pickup. - **Operational complexity:** Inventory management, picking, and logistics made e-commerce adoption difficult. - **Low online visibility:** Without marketing, Fresh Connection wasn’t reaching its potential digital audience. ## The Solution As E-Commerce Development and Marketing Manager, Philip led the **migration to Shopify**, building the store and managing its full digital rollout. **What we delivered:** 1. **Shopify Migration & Build** - Designed and launched a responsive **Shopify store** built for groceries. - Added key features: **reorder option, delivery & pickup details, and reminder systems**. 2. **Digital Marketing Setup** - Implemented **Google Ads** and **Facebook Ads campaigns** to drive new traffic. - Launched **MailChimp campaigns** for retention and repeat orders. 3. **Operations Enablement** - Managed **end-to-end e-commerce operations**: order placement, inventory, picking & packing, logistics, and customer support. - Established processes for a smooth and scalable workflow. ## Results Fresh Connection successfully transitioned into a modern, hybrid retail and digital business. - **Shopify migration completed** with a custom store tailored for groceries. - **Boosted retention** via reorder and reminder features. - **Expanded reach** through Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and email marketing. - **Streamlined operations** across fulfilment and customer service. - **Digital foundation created** for growth and resilience. ### Hema Health Performance Brand & Website URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/hema-health-performance Client: Hema Health Industry: Performance Health, Athlete Testing, Digital Health Service categories: web-development Industry categories: healthcare A premium performance-health brand and athlete-focused website for blood testing audiences in Australia and the UK. ## Background Hema Health brings performance blood testing into the training journey for runners, cyclists, triathletes and gym athletes. The service is designed to help people build a clearer view of the health markers that may influence endurance, recovery, sleep, iron status, hormones, inflammation and race readiness. New Site Agency developed the brand, website strategy and UX/UI around a clear commercial goal: create a premium performance-health experience that aligned with ambitious athletes in Australia and the UK. ## The Challenge The brand needed to sit confidently between two worlds. It had to feel credible enough for a blood testing service while carrying the energy, focus and aspiration expected by a performance audience. The project needed to: - Position Hema Health as a premium performance brand rather than a generic pathology service. - Make detailed health and biomarker information easier to understand. - Build trust without making the experience feel overly clinical. - Speak directly to athletes preparing, training and recovering for specific goals. - Create a scalable digital foundation for Australian and UK audiences. - Keep important medical context visible without overwhelming the core journey. ## Building the Brand Architecture The visual identity combines a precise geometric symbol with high-contrast serif typography. Deep blue provides authority and calm, while a lighter performance blue introduces energy and creates a clear secondary layer within the system. The brand architecture separates the wider Hema Health proposition into focused expressions such as Work and Performance. Each retains the same core identity while gaining a distinct descriptor, giving the business room to speak to different use cases without fragmenting the master brand.

## A Premium Performance Direction Athlete-led photography gives the identity momentum and keeps the service connected to real training goals. The imagery is confident and editorial rather than clinical, with the blue environment, natural movement and restrained typography creating a premium visual language. The Hema Health mark and wordmark are designed to sit clearly over that imagery, allowing campaigns to remain recognisable without covering the athlete or diluting the sense of movement. Hema Health campaign composition with the brand mark beside an athlete running against a blue sky ## Website Strategy and UX/UI The website opens with a direct performance proposition: “Find the gaps holding back your performance.” It connects the service to endurance, recovery and race preparation before introducing biomarker information, collection access and the athletes Hema Health supports. The UX/UI system uses: - A performance-led hero with clear primary and secondary actions. - Concise trust signals placed close to the opening proposition. - A structured race-preparation journey from baseline testing through training and retesting. - Athlete-specific pathways for runners, cyclists, triathletes and gym athletes. - Clear explanations that make technical health information easier to scan. - Consistent waitlist actions across the page without interrupting the story. - Visible health information and medical guidance within the wider experience. The visual system carries the premium brand direction into navigation, cards, calls to action and responsive layouts while maintaining practical contrast and readability. Performance athlete running beneath a clear blue sky for Hema Health ## The Outcome Hema Health now has a cohesive premium identity and digital experience built around the mindset of performance athletes. The brand balances health credibility with movement and ambition, while the website turns a complex subject into a focused journey from performance question to testing consideration. The shared identity also provides a flexible foundation for extending Hema Health across markets and audience-specific offers without losing recognition or consistency.

InAddition Bookkeeping partnered with **New Site Agency** to modernise its digital presence and boost visibility in Melbourne’s competitive bookkeeping market.

Our team delivered a complete digital rebuild using **Framer**, combining clean design, intuitive navigation, and clear service messaging. Every page was written and structured with **technical SEO** and **conversion in mind**, ensuring that search engines — and potential clients — could easily understand what InAddition offers and why they stand out.

With features like flexible weekly targets, accurate race predictions, and seamless Strava integration, Kaizen empowers runners to improve steadily over time. While the product offered strong in-app value, its digital presence wasn’t reaching enough runners searching online for tools, races, and training advice. ## The Challenge **Low visibility:** New runners couldn’t easily discover Kaizen when searching for race tools or training content. **Competitive search rankings:** High-intent keywords like _marathon pace calculator_ and _London running races_ were dominated by established players. **Limited content structure:** Without a glossary, blog hub, or race database, Kaizen was missing long-tail SEO opportunities. **Weak conversion flow:** The website wasn’t optimised for app sign-ups or engagement. Kaizen’s early MVP site on Squarespace — Kaizen’s early MVP site on Squarespace ## The Solution To help Kaizen scale, New Site Agency built a growth marketing framework focused on **SEO, structured content, and conversion-driven design**. While Kaizen focused on improving their app, we turned their website into a global acquisition engine for new runners. **Our approach included:** 1. **SEO & Growth Strategy** - Defined a keyword strategy around high-intent running terms like _pace calculator_ and _marathon races_. - Built a long-tail SEO plan with content designed to rank for thousands of queries. 2. **Website Transformation** - Moved from Squarespace to a **custom Framer site** built for speed, SEO, and conversions. - Designed clear landing pages with stronger calls-to-action to drive app downloads and engagement. - Structured navigation around **tools, races, and content hubs** so users could find value quickly. 3. **Interactive Tools & Content** - Developed an **advanced pace calculator** with Strava sync to encourage repeat visits. - Built a **race directory of 5,000+ events**, making Kaizen the go-to destination for runners worldwide. - Launched a **running glossary** and training content hub, creating a structured SEO foundation. - Integrated **podcasts and comparison pages** to engage users and build trust. 4. **Optimisation for Scale** - Ensured all content was internally linked for SEO authority. - Structured data and schema markup to capture AI/LLM answers and rich results. - Created a framework that can keep expanding as new features and races are added. We didn’t just redesign Kaizen’s website — we built a scalable system that drives new runners in at the top of the funnel, engages them with valuable tools, and converts them into long-term app users. ## Results The new website and growth strategy transformed Kaizen into a global destination for runners and a top-of-funnel engine for their app. **Key outcomes achieved within 12 months:** - **+80% organic traffic growth in just 90 days** with sustained month-on-month increases. - **Domain Rating increased from 2 → 29**, signalling stronger authority in the running space. - **Referring domains grew from 22 → 77**, thanks to structured content and backlink outreach. - **3.1K monthly organic visitors** (up from near zero), creating a reliable source of sign-ups. - **3,000 organic keywords ranked**, including **Top 3 position in the UK for “marathon pace calculator.”** - **5,000+ race pages indexed**, forming an evergreen SEO moat that drives continuous discovery. - **Higher conversions** through optimised landing pages, interactive pace tools, and structured calls-to-action. **Impact:** Kaizen went from an invisible MVP site to a globally ranked running resource. The project proved that with the right mix of SEO, content, and interactive tools, even small teams can compete against established players and win new customers at scale.

It represents prior team experience rather than a direct New Site Agency engagement. ## Background Kidstuff operates in a fast-moving retail category where product discovery, seasonal campaigns and a dependable checkout experience are central to online performance. The storefront needed to support a broad catalogue while making it easy for parents, gift buyers and families to move from browsing to purchase. ## The Brief The ongoing programme focused on strengthening the Shopify Plus storefront rather than treating the website as a one-off launch.

Patients can find pathways for GP telehealth, medical certificates, general practice, prescriptions, specialist referrals and pathology requests without having to navigate disconnected service websites. The business needed a digital experience that could make those options easy to understand while communicating the trust, privacy and clinical boundaries expected of an Australian healthcare provider. ## The Challenge Healthcare journeys are rarely one-size-fits-all. The platform needed to help people recognise the service they require, understand what happens next and move forward with confidence. Key challenges included: - Organising several healthcare services within a simple navigation system - Building trust through clear practitioner, privacy and suitability information - Creating consistent conversion paths for different consultation types - Supporting patients on desktop and mobile at moments when speed and clarity matter - Establishing a scalable content and SEO foundation for future services ## The Solution New Site Agency created a responsive healthcare platform centred on clear service selection and reassuring communication. The homepage introduces the service model, surfaces the major care pathways immediately and explains the request-and-review process in plain language. Each pathway can carry its own eligibility, next-step and support information while remaining part of one coherent brand experience. The site structure also supports dedicated content for healthcare partners, including doctors, specialists, general practices, pharmacies and business customers. ## Key Deliverables - Digital strategy and healthcare information architecture - Responsive website and service navigation - Consultation and support conversion pathways - Trust, privacy and clinical suitability messaging - Partner and business enquiry experiences - Technical SEO and scalable service-page structure - Accessible, mobile-first interaction patterns ## The Outcome My Medical Consult now has a focused digital foundation for bringing multiple online healthcare services together.

To deliver trust, accessibility, and scalability, the business needed a platform that could issue certificates securely while remaining easy for users to navigate. ## The Challenge - **Compliance requirements:** Certificates had to meet Australian workplace and healthcare standards. - **User trust:** The platform needed to feel credible and reliable for workers and employers. - **Form workflow:** The process for requesting certificates needed to be clear, simple, and accessible. - **SEO visibility:** To compete, the site needed strong foundations in search ranking. ## The Solution New Site Agency designed and built the MyMedicalCert platform on **Framer**, ensuring security, compliance, and usability from the ground up. **What we delivered:** 1. **Framer Website Build** - Developed a mobile-first, responsive platform with a streamlined health form flow. - Designed for accessibility and user confidence. 2.

With a catalogue spanning general health, women’s health, men’s health, hormones, fertility, nutrition and performance, the platform needed more than a standard product grid. Customers had to be able to find the right test, understand what it covers and feel confident about every step after checkout. ## The Challenge The project combined the scale of an e-commerce catalogue with the care required for health information. Key challenges included: - Structuring a large and growing catalogue of tests, panels and biomarkers - Helping customers browse by health goal, category or individual marker - Explaining referrals, collection and secure result delivery clearly - Building conversion paths without making clinical promises - Supporting technical SEO across collections, products and educational content ## The Solution New Site Agency built a Shopify storefront around discovery, education and a straightforward four-step customer journey.

It represents prior team experience rather than a direct New Site Agency engagement. ## Background Prime100 serves pet owners looking for products matched to specific dietary needs. Online customers therefore need more than a conventional product grid: they need clear information, useful pathways through the range and confidence that they are choosing an appropriate option for their dog. ## The Brief The engagement focused on supporting the Shopify Plus storefront as the brand’s digital requirements evolved. Priorities included making product discovery clearer, improving key customer journeys and maintaining a stable, responsive experience around campaigns and ongoing trading activity. ## Work Delivered - Supported Shopify Plus maintenance, enhancements and release planning. - Reviewed product and collection journeys to improve clarity and reduce avoidable friction. - Helped structure content and merchandising around customer needs and product attributes. - Considered responsive performance and usability across important storefront templates. - Coordinated with designers, developers and stakeholders to turn requirements into testable improvements. ## Delivery Approach Work was delivered in practical increments around the live retail calendar.

No confidential revenue or conversion figures are included; this page documents the verified work completed and the capabilities supported. ### RAQ Apparel’s Fulfilment & Returns Transformation URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/raq-apparel Client: RAQ Apparel Industry: Fashion, Swimwear, E-commerce Service categories: ecommerce, seo Industry categories: retail-ecommerce Discover how we helped RAQ Apparel scale their inclusive swimwear brand—from Shopify operations to returns, 3PL integration, and growth-ready systems. ## Background RAQ Apparel is a Melbourne-born swimwear label created “by busty people, for busty people.” With bikinis available in 66 bra sizes starting from a D cup, the brand offers minimalist designs that combine comfort, support, and style. As RAQ expanded into Australia and the US, operational bottlenecks in fulfilment and returns began limiting both customer experience and growth potential. ## The Challenge **Outdated fulfilment process:** Manual workflows made it difficult to manage order volume and scale operations. **Disjointed returns system:** Customers lacked a seamless way to manage returns, creating frustration and more support tickets. **Inefficient staff workflows:** Team members were spending excessive time resolving fulfilment and returns issues instead of focusing on growth. ## The Solution New Site Agency partnered with RAQ to stabilise their operations and prepare for scale with Shopify integrations and streamlined processes. **What we delivered:** 1. **3PL Migration on Shopify** - Connected RAQ’s Shopify stores in AU and US to a new third-party logistics partner. - Automated order flow for faster, more reliable fulfilment. 2. **Loop Returns Integration** - Implemented [**Loop Returns**](https://www.loopreturns.com/) across both storefronts, giving customers a self-service portal for returns and exchanges. - Reduced manual handling and improved customer satisfaction. 3. **Operational Training & Documentation** - Developed new standard operating procedures. - Trained staff to confidently use the updated systems. 4. **Growth Enablement** - Introduced **SEO initiatives** to improve brand visibility. - Built a **Fit Guide Quiz** to drive engagement and support conversions. ## Results The transformation delivered immediate operational improvements and long-term growth potential. - **Faster, more reliable fulfilment** through automated 3PL workflows. - **Reduced support load** with a seamless returns experience. - **Higher customer satisfaction** thanks to quicker exchanges and clearer processes. - **Stronger growth foundation** with SEO and onsite engagement tools. > “_Phil is the go-to guy for anything Shopify and technical.

The business needed a practical, recognisable identity that could communicate clearly in the field and remain consistent across vehicles, equipment, workwear, printed materials and digital touchpoints. New Site Agency developed a focused visual system around a bold wordmark, a distinctive “W” device and a high-contrast blue palette. ## The Challenge Waste collection brands need to be understood quickly. The identity may appear on moving vehicles, large equipment, roadside signage or small digital applications, so it must remain clear at very different sizes and viewing distances. The brand needed to: - Make the Skip Waste name immediate and easy to read. - Create a distinctive visual idea without making the category feel complicated. - Feel modern, capable and dependable. - Work in positive and reversed colour applications. - Scale from compact digital placements to vehicles and waste collection equipment. ## A Wordmark Built Around the “W” The Skip Waste wordmark uses strong geometric letterforms to create a direct, practical presence. Two angled blue strokes form the “W”, linking the two words while giving the identity its most recognisable feature. The device introduces forward movement and provides an ownable point of difference without reducing legibility. It can remain part of the complete wordmark or become a recurring graphic cue within larger brand compositions.
Skip Waste black and blue wordmark on a white background Skip Waste white and blue wordmark on a deep blue background
## A Practical High-Contrast Colour System Deep blue gives the identity authority and a strong field colour, while the brighter blue “W” brings energy and visibility. Black and white applications provide straightforward alternatives for light backgrounds, documents and situations where the full brand colour is unavailable. The limited palette keeps the system easy to reproduce and helps the wordmark stay consistent across operational and customer-facing materials. ## Designed for Waste Collection in Victoria The identity was developed to sit confidently beside real waste collection equipment. The blue system connects naturally with the skip imagery, while the bold wordmark remains visible against photography and at the larger scale required for vehicles and outdoor applications. Skip Waste brand composition beside a blue skip being lifted by a collection vehicle ## Key Deliverables - Brand positioning and visual direction. - Primary wordmark and distinctive “W” device. - Light and dark logo applications. - Core colour and contrast system. - Photography and composition direction. - Scalable applications for vehicles, equipment, print and digital use. ## The Outcome Skip Waste AUS has a clear identity designed for the practical demands of a Victorian waste collection service. The wordmark is direct and legible, while the blue “W” provides a memorable element that can carry recognition across different formats. The resulting system gives the business a consistent foundation for customer communications and operational applications without losing the straightforward character required in the category. ### Strategy & Website Development for The Ithacan Historical Society URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/the-ithacan-historical-society Client: The Ithacan Historical Society Industry: Non-Profit, Historical Society, E-commerce Service categories: web-development Industry categories: Not specified See how New Site Agency migrated The Ithacan Historical Society to Squarespace, delivering a modern site with e-commerce, training, and ongoing usability. ## Background The Ithacan Historical Society is a non-profit organisation dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history, culture, and stories of the Ithacan community. To expand its reach and better serve members and supporters, the Society needed a modern, easy-to-manage website that could handle both informational and e-commerce needs. ## The Challenge - **Outdated custom platform:** The old site was difficult to update, costly to maintain, and lacked flexibility. - **Limited e-commerce functionality:** Selling memberships, donations, and products online was clunky. - **Knowledge gap:** The Society required training and documentation to confidently manage the new platform. ## The Solution New Site Agency partnered with The Ithacan Historical Society to deliver a clear roadmap, efficient build, and smooth transition to a new platform. **What we delivered:** 1. **Strategic Roadmapping & Documentation** - Scoped requirements for both NPO and e-commerce needs. - Produced solution documentation to guide the project. 2. **Website Migration & Build** - Migrated the site from a custom system to **Squarespace** for ease of use and lower ongoing costs. - Designed a clean, user-friendly site aligned with the Society’s identity. - Integrated e-commerce for memberships, donations, and online purchases. 3. **Training & Handover** - Delivered tailored training sessions for Society staff and volunteers. - Supplied handover materials to ensure confident ongoing management. ## Results The new site gave the Ithacan Historical Society a modern digital home that empowers them to share their mission, engage their community, and fundraise more effectively. - **Lower maintenance costs** with Squarespace replacing the custom system. - **Improved usability** for staff and volunteers managing updates. - **Enhanced fundraising potential** through streamlined donations and e-commerce. - **Modern design and navigation** that better engages visitors. > “_New Site Agency provided us with a clear roadmap, a modern website, and the confidence to manage it ourselves.

With a strong community of members, The Hunt needed a digital presence that reflected its premium training offering and could scale alongside the business. ## The Challenge - **Outdated website:** The original site lacked the design and structure to convert visitors into members. - **Limited online visibility:** Local SEO and Google My Business were underutilised, making it harder to attract new members. - **Inefficient integrations:** Managing bookings and memberships required a seamless connection with Mindbody, but the existing setup was clunky. - **Low marketing impact:** Paid campaigns were not fully optimised to capture local demand. ## The Solution New Site Agency has been a long-term partner of The Hunt Gym, evolving its digital presence since 2020. **Phase 1: Initial Build & Support (2020–2024)** - Developed a **custom website** integrated with Mindbody for smooth class bookings and membership management. - Provided **ongoing support and enhancements**, ensuring stability and improvements as the business grew. - Managed **Google Ads and Facebook Ads campaigns** to increase awareness and engagement. **Phase 2: Digital Transformation (2025)** - Migrated the site to **Framer**, delivering a fresh design optimised for conversions and local SEO. - **Optimised Google My Business profile**, boosting visibility in St Kilda searches for gyms and training. - Relaunched **Google Ads campaigns** focused on hyper-local targeting to attract new members in the area. ### Local PPC & Conversion Tracking We structured Google Ads around tightly targeted, exact-match keywords with clear local intent, including searches for strength and conditioning, personal training, and gyms in and around St Kilda. Ad groups and landing-page messaging were aligned to the service being searched for, helping prospective members reach a relevant next step quickly. Conversion tracking was set up for the actions that signal genuine membership interest, including enquiry submissions and key booking or contact actions. This gave The Hunt a reliable view of which search terms were bringing prospective members to the site and allowed campaigns to be refined around traffic with a stronger likelihood of converting. ## Results The Hunt Gym now has a modern, SEO-optimised website that better reflects its brand and services, paired with stronger local visibility and targeted ads to drive memberships. - **New Framer website** designed for conversions and mobile optimisation. - **Improved local rankings** via SEO and Google My Business optimisation. - **Stronger ad performance** with Google Ads campaigns focused on the St Kilda area. - **Clearer campaign attribution** through exact-match keyword targeting and conversion tracking for high-intent actions. - **Long-term digital partnership** providing continuity and strategic growth. > "_The team at New Site Agency has been with us from the start, building, maintaining, and evolving our digital presence.

For years, the brand ran its e-commerce operations on a custom-built Sofia CMS platform. While functional, Sofia became increasingly restrictive: - High maintenance costs for updates and new features - Limited scalability for global expansion - Complex content management that required developer support - Inconsistent customer experience across regions As Tony’s international presence grew, the business needed a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective commerce platform that could empower local teams, reduce technical debt, and support global growth. ## The Project Goal Migrate Tony’s Chocolonely’s online stores from Sofia CMS to **Shopify Plus** across 7 regions (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, UK, US, Austria, and Global), while: - Maintaining brand identity and storytelling across all markets - Empowering local teams with autonomy over content and campaigns - Enabling growth through integrated tools for marketing, fulfilment, and personalisation - Reducing reliance on heavy development cycles and lowering platform costs ## My Role Our founder Philip worked internally at Tony’s Chocolonely and alongside multiple specialist partners to deliver this complex migration. Acting as both product manager and solution architect, I bridged business, design, and technology needs to ensure a smooth transition to Shopify Plus. I coordinated across Tony’s internal teams (IT, e-commerce, retail, design, and operations) while managing external partners including AskPhill (Shopify experts), Wolfpack (OMS and ERP integration specialists) DokOnline (SEO), and Bitfactory (Custom wrapper creator).

By moving away from a rigid, developer-heavy platform, Tony’s gained agility, scalability, and cost efficiency—empowering local teams to tell their story and support the brand’s mission of making **100% slave-free chocolate the norm** across the world. ### Training Connect Brand & National Training Marketplace URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/training-connect Client: Training Connect Industry: Education, Training, Marketplace Technology Service categories: web-development, seo Industry categories: education A refreshed Australian training brand and comparison-led marketplace for finding nationally recognised courses and organisations. ## Background Finding nationally recognised training in Australia often means moving between government registers, individual Registered Training Organisation websites and course pages that present information in different ways. Learners and workplaces can struggle to understand which course fits their needs, who offers it and what to do next. Training Connect was created to make that journey clearer. The platform needed to bring course discovery, RTO information, comparison and enquiries into one coherent marketplace while preserving the important distinction between an independent discovery service and the accredited organisations responsible for training delivery. ## The Challenge The project had to create a recognisable national brand and serve three different audiences—individual learners, workplaces and RTO partners—without making the experience feel complex. Key challenges included: - Creating a clear identity that could represent training across different industries and audiences. - Structuring nationally recognised courses, unit codes and provider information consistently. - Making search useful for both plain-language needs and exact course or RTO queries. - Helping users compare options without obscuring official training information. - Creating clear enquiry and partnership workflows with appropriate privacy and compliance boundaries. - Building a scalable foundation for new courses, organisations, guides and marketplace features. ## A Recognisable Australian Training Brand New Site Agency created a confident identity around the promise of “Connecting Australia to accredited training”. The bold uppercase wordmark makes the service immediately legible, while the lighter “Connect” treatment introduces movement and a clear relationship between the two words. The identity system uses a focused blue, green and navy palette with white applications for contrast. This gives Training Connect enough flexibility to move between digital interfaces, campaign artwork, partner communications and course content while remaining recognisable. Training Connect identity board showing wordmark, tagline, colour and logo variations ## From Identity to Campaign The brand was designed to work with real training environments rather than as a standalone logo. Clear colour fields, direct typography and practical imagery create a system that can speak to people looking for accredited training across construction, infrastructure and other Australian industries.

## Designing the Marketplace Experience New Site Agency designed and developed a focused marketplace experience around the decisions users actually need to make. The homepage combines a prominent search experience with direct pathways to browse courses, find an organisation or compare training. Course listings explain the recognised training product, surface available organisations and connect users to a structured enquiry flow. RTO pages and partnership content give providers a clear route to participate while keeping responsibility for enrolment, delivery, assessment and certification explicit. The visual identity carries into the interface through confident blue actions, a deep navy supporting colour, large direct typography and consistent information hierarchy. The result feels connected to the brand while keeping dense training information easy to scan.

## Course Discovery and Comparison Comparison was designed as a core marketplace feature rather than a secondary utility. Users can select recognised courses, review official product information side by side and move into a relevant enquiry path without losing context. The information architecture supports: - Search by course name, unit code or RTO. - Nationally recognised course detail pages. - Registered Training Organisation listings. - Side-by-side course comparison. - Individual and workplace enquiry workflows. - RTO partnership registration and verification. - Educational guides and marketplace news. Technical SEO, structured content, accessible interaction patterns and clear links to official government records were built into the platform from launch. Training Connect course comparison interface showing two recognised courses side by side ## A Consistent Supporting Experience The same visual system extends beyond the key discovery screens. Navigation, search, enquiries, editorial content and the footer all use the brand palette and typographic hierarchy consistently, giving the marketplace a coherent experience from first search through to an enquiry or partner pathway. Training Connect website footer with newsletter, discovery, partner and support pathways ## Key Deliverables - Brand positioning and visual identity. - Wordmark, colour and campaign system. - Marketplace strategy and product information architecture. - Responsive website and web application development. - Course, RTO, search and comparison experiences. - Structured enquiry and RTO partnership forms. - Technical SEO, metadata and structured-data foundations. - Privacy-conscious form handling and clear service boundaries. - Scalable content models for courses, organisations, guides and news. ## The Outcome Training Connect launched as a clear, production-ready marketplace where people can search for nationally recognised courses, review provider information, compare options and enquire about availability. The project gives Training Connect both a distinctive national identity and a digital platform built around real training decisions. Australian RTOs have a structured way to register interest, publish verified marketplace listings and connect existing enquiry or booking pathways, while the modular foundation is ready to support a growing course catalogue, new provider relationships and richer discovery tools over time. ### Website Support & Maintenance for Katalyst Foundation URL: https://newsiteagency.com/work/katalyst-foundation Client: Katalyst Foundation Industry: Non-Profit, Community Development Service categories: web-development Industry categories: education See how New Site Agency provided website support and maintenance for Katalyst Foundation, ensuring their non-profit site stayed secure, updated, and effective. ## Background Katalyst Foundation is a non-profit initiative created by KOOKAÏ Australia, focused on empowering communities through education, training, and sustainable projects.

For years, e-commerce has asked customers to browse a catalogue and choose the closest available product. Product configurators reverse that relationship. They let the customer shape the product around their needs, see the consequences of each decision and move forward with greater confidence. This model is already well established in cars, homes and premium bicycles. It is also appearing in everyday products such as personalised food and gifts. As artificial intelligence makes guided recommendations, image creation and product visualisation easier to deliver, configurators will spread into many more industries. The opportunity is bigger than adding a colour selector to a product page. A good configurator connects customer intent, product rules, visual presentation, pricing, availability and fulfilment in one guided experience.

## What is a product configurator? A product configurator is an interactive buying tool that helps a customer assemble a valid version of a product or service. Depending on the product, it may include: - Model, size or package selection - Colours, materials and finishes - Features, components and accessories - Personalised text, imagery or artwork - Live pricing and finance options - Compatibility and manufacturing rules - Delivery estimates and service availability - A saved configuration, quote request or direct checkout Personalisation and configuration overlap, but they are not identical. Personalisation changes a product for an individual, such as adding a name to a chocolate wrapper. Configuration combines approved options into a valid product, such as selecting the engine, wheels and interior of a vehicle. The strongest experiences can do both. ## Seven product configurators worth studying

## 1. Samara Backyard: configuring a home before speaking to sales

Samara turns architectural choices into a visual, guided buying experience. Screenshot source: Samara Backyard configurator, captured 2 August 2026.
Samara's Backyard configurator demonstrates how configuration can support a considered, high-value purchase. The customer can explore a home visually and compare choices such as cladding and roof colours while keeping the base commercial context visible. **What works well** - The building remains the visual focus while choices sit in a dedicated control panel. - Colour and material decisions update a product that would otherwise be difficult to imagine from a specification sheet. - The interface makes a major purchase feel more approachable before the customer enters a detailed property or sales process. **Business lesson:** A configurator does not need to complete the whole sale to create value. For a home, kitchen, fit-out or commercial system, its job may be to educate the buyer and generate a better-qualified enquiry. **Important note:** High-value configurators must separate the configurable product price from site-specific costs such as permits, installation, delivery or preparation. A beautiful preview should never create false price certainty. ## 2. Tesla Model 3: combining product and purchase decisions

Tesla connects the live vehicle configuration with performance, finance and ordering decisions. Animated screen recording source: Tesla Model 3 configurator, captured 2 August 2026.
Tesla's Model 3 configurator is designed as a direct path from interest to order. Model variants, exterior and interior choices, performance information, financing and the primary action remain part of the same experience. **What works well** - A strong starting configuration prevents the customer from facing a blank canvas. - The vehicle preview responds to meaningful options rather than decorative choices alone. - Pricing and payment context stay close to the selected specification. - The final action is persistent, so configuration remains connected to purchase intent. **Business lesson:** A configurator is most commercially useful when every choice updates a coherent order, not just an attractive visual. Price, availability, finance and fulfilment should remain connected to the configuration. **Important note:** Regional incentives, delivery dates and option availability can change. The product rules and commercial data need to be market-aware and maintained independently of the visual layer. ## 3. Volvo EX30: making subtle options easy to understand

Volvo uses close-up imagery to help customers compare wheels, materials and interior combinations. Screenshot source: Volvo EX30 configurator, captured 2 August 2026.
The Volvo EX30 experience gives customers detailed views of choices such as exterior colours, wheels and interior rooms. Volvo also supports a configuration summary that can bring selected options and pricing together. **What works well** - Close-up imagery makes small but emotionally important differences easier to evaluate. - Interior, exterior and wheel options are presented as a coordinated design system. - The customer can understand what is included and what changes the final specification. **Business lesson:** Customers need the right visual scale for each decision. A full product view is useful for colour; a close-up is better for upholstery, wheels, texture or finish. **Important note:** Some visual combinations may be illustrative rather than orderable. The experience should clearly distinguish inspiration from configurations that can actually be produced and delivered. ## 4. Land Rover Defender: managing a large configuration space

The Defender journey divides a deep option catalogue into manageable stages. Screenshot source: Land Rover Defender configurator, captured 2 August 2026.
Land Rover has to manage more configuration depth than most retailers. The Defender journey covers bodystyle, model, engine, exterior, wheels, interior, headlining, options, accessories and a final summary. **What works well** - A visible step structure tells customers where they are and what remains. - A large product preview gives immediate feedback as options change. - Save-build functionality supports a purchase that may take several sessions or involve another person. - Accessory packs translate many individual items into purpose-led choices. **Business lesson:** Complexity should be organised around the customer's goal, not the structure of an internal product database. "Adventure" or "urban" packages are easier to understand than a long list of component codes. **Important note:** Long configurators need save, share and resume features. Without them, customers can lose significant work or avoid experimenting because they fear they cannot return to a preferred build. ## 5. Cowboy Cruiser: connecting product education with customisation

Cowboy combines a clean bike preview with component education and practical add-ons. Screenshot source: Cowboy Cruiser configurator, captured 2 August 2026.
Cowboy's configurator keeps a large bicycle image on screen while exposing colour and accessory decisions. Interactive hotspots help explain product features without forcing the customer to leave the buying journey. **What works well** - The product stays visible while the customer moves through decisions. - Hotspots turn the configurator into both a selling and education tool. - Accessories such as a luggage rack are shown in the context of how the bike will be used. **Business lesson:** Configuration can reduce the gap between technical product detail and lifestyle value. Customers do not just choose a component; they understand why it matters to their daily use. **Important note:** Interactive product scenes can become heavy on mobile devices. Image and 3D assets need progressive loading, responsive sizes and a usable fallback for slower connections. ## 6. Veloretti Ace Two: a focused three-step journey

Veloretti starts with the core bike decision, then moves into accessories and services. Screenshot source: Veloretti Ace Two customizer, captured 2 August 2026.
Veloretti simplifies its Ace Two journey into three stages: bike, accessories and additional services. The customer first compares Lite and Pro, selects a colour, then continues to relevant extras. **What works well** - The Lite and Pro decision is framed in plain language around everyday versus maximum performance. - Price changes are visible at the point of choice. - Accessories and services appear after the customer has committed to the core product. - The main image includes product hotspots and alternative views without making the interface feel overly technical. **Business lesson:** Not every configurator needs dozens of options. A short, intentional sequence can improve clarity while still creating opportunities for accessories, service plans, delivery options and care products. **Important note:** Add-ons should be relevant and compatible with the selected product. A smaller set of useful recommendations is more persuasive than a generic cross-sell catalogue. ## 7. Tony's Chocolonely: personalisation for food, gifts and occasions

Tony's turns a familiar chocolate bar into a personal or corporate design experience. Animated screen recording source: Tony's Chocolonely personalisation tool, captured 2 August 2026.
Tony's Chocolonely shows that configurators are not limited to expensive products. Customers can personalise a wrapper using colours, graphics, text, templates or uploaded artwork, then save the design and order the finished bars. **What works well** - Personalisation gives a standard product a specific occasion and emotional purpose. - Templates help customers begin quickly, while uploads support more original or branded designs. - The same tool can serve birthdays, weddings, employee onboarding, campaigns and corporate gifting. - The preview makes a print product understandable before production. **Business lesson:** Personalisation can create a premium service layer around a simple product. It can also open new customer segments without requiring an entirely new core product range. **Important note:** Print configurators must explain production constraints. Tony's notes that nutritional information requires space on the wrapper, printed colours may differ from on-screen RGB previews and small alignment shifts can occur during folding. ## Why configurators are good for businesses ### They make products easier to understand Customers often struggle to translate product codes, swatches and feature lists into a finished outcome. A live preview makes the relationship between a choice and its result much clearer. ### They can increase order value without relying on generic upsells Accessories, upgrades and services are more relevant when they are attached to a specific configuration. A roof rack, premium wheel, installation service or gift design becomes part of the customer's intended outcome rather than an unrelated product recommendation. ### They create better sales conversations A saved configuration gives a sales team useful context before the first call. The customer has already expressed preferences, budget signals and intended use. This can shorten discovery and make the conversation more specific. ### They capture valuable demand signals Even when a customer does not buy, configuration behaviour can show which colours, features, packages and price points attract attention. That information can guide merchandising, product development and campaign planning when it is collected with appropriate consent and privacy controls. ### They reduce invalid or incomplete orders A rules-based configurator can prevent incompatible combinations, explain dependencies and require essential information before checkout or quote submission. This is especially valuable for manufactured products and business-to-business orders. ### They connect marketing with operations The strongest configurators connect to product information, pricing, inventory, customer relationship management, quoting and fulfilment systems. The experience becomes a usable order specification rather than a visual marketing exercise that staff must rebuild manually. ## How AI will change product configuration AI will not replace the product rules underneath a configurator. Prices, compatibility, availability, safety constraints and manufacturing logic still need reliable source systems. AI is most useful as an easier interface to those systems. ### Conversational guided selling Instead of understanding every option, a customer could explain what they need: "I commute 20 kilometres each day, carry a laptop and need low maintenance." An AI assistant can translate that intent into a recommended starting configuration and explain the trade-offs. ### Faster visual asset creation Generative tools can help teams produce concept imagery, lifestyle scenes, material variations and supporting content for a larger number of options. Final product previews still require accurate, approved assets, especially where colour, fit or specification affects the purchase. ### Personalised starting points A configurator can begin with a relevant default based on stated use, market, budget or previous choices. This reduces the effort of starting from zero while leaving the customer in control. ### Smarter recommendations AI can recommend compatible accessories, service plans or packages based on the configuration and intended use. Recommendations should include a clear reason and should never bypass compatibility, inventory or eligibility rules. ### Easier content and localisation Product teams can use AI to draft option descriptions, comparison summaries, market-specific explanations and accessible alternative text. Human review and structured product data remain essential for accuracy. ### Continuous optimisation Teams can analyse where customers hesitate, reverse choices or abandon a journey. AI can help identify patterns and propose clearer defaults, explanations or sequence changes, which can then be tested rather than automatically published. ## Where configurators will appear next The same model can work across many verticals: - **Furniture and interiors:** sofas, storage systems, kitchens, lighting and room layouts - **Fashion and jewellery:** materials, sizing, engraving, colour combinations and made-to-order pieces - **Beauty and wellness:** routines and product bundles based on preferences and goals - **Sport and outdoor equipment:** bicycles, boards, golf equipment, camping systems and team kits - **Food and gifting:** packaging, flavours, quantities, messages and corporate campaigns - **Travel and hospitality:** rooms, activities, transfers and flexible experience packages - **Business-to-business equipment:** machinery, components, capacity, installation and maintenance agreements - **Professional services:** structured packages, deliverables, timelines and optional support The common requirement is a product or service with meaningful choices, explainable rules and a result the customer benefits from seeing before they commit. ## How we can plan and build a configurator for your product or service We can design and build a similar configuration experience around the way your customers choose and the way your business fulfils. The goal is not to copy an automotive configurator. It is to create the shortest trustworthy path from a customer's starting point to an ideal, valid outcome for your product or service. We begin by defining that ideal state. For a product, it could be a complete, compatible and available configuration ready for checkout or a quote. For a service, it could be the right package, location, appointment, team and delivery timeline. Every screen in the journey should help the customer reach that state or clearly explain why another route is more suitable. ### Map the decisions before designing the screens Together, we map the information the customer needs to provide, the choices the business needs to make and the rules that connect them. This can include: - Inventory quantity and availability by location - Compatible sizes, materials, components and accessories - Budget, intended use and customer priorities - Delivery postcode, lead time and installation requirements - Service eligibility, capacity, appointment availability and team coverage - Minimum order quantities, production limits and approval requirements - Regional pricing, taxes, finance and market-specific options - Customer type, account terms and previous purchases The flow can then respond to real conditions. An in-stock product may continue directly to checkout. Low stock could show a delivery warning or alternative. An unavailable combination could recommend the nearest valid option. A complex or high-value build could move into a saved design, consultation or quote request without forcing the customer to repeat their decisions. ### Design the path to the ideal state We map every screen, state and handover the user needs to move through, including: 1. **Starting point:** Identify the product, service, intended use or outcome. 2. **Core configuration:** Collect the decisions that determine compatibility and the base price. 3. **Availability check:** Validate stock, service capacity, region and lead time before offering dependent choices. 4. **Personalisation:** Add colours, finishes, content, accessories or service options that are valid for the selected configuration. 5. **Review and correction:** Show a complete summary, explain conflicts and make it easy to revise an earlier choice. 6. **Commercial handover:** Continue to checkout, booking, quote, consultation or a sales-assisted process with the full configuration attached. This screen map becomes a practical specification for experience design, product rules, integrations, content, analytics and development. It also identifies the exceptions that can otherwise appear late in a project, such as inventory changing during a session or one option extending the delivery date of the whole order. ### Turn the experience into a delivery roadmap We can plan the configurator as part of our [delivery roadmap session](/blog/shopify-plus-project-roadmapping-session). The session turns the customer journey and product rules into prioritised features, screens, integrations, dependencies and delivery phases. An initial release might focus on the core option model, availability rules, responsive screens and a quote or checkout handover. Later phases can add saved configurations, customer accounts, richer visualisation, AI-guided recommendations, sales tools and deeper operational automation. This keeps the first release commercially useful while creating a clear path for the more advanced experience. The result is a shared plan showing what needs to be designed, built, connected, tested and measured—and how each part helps the customer reach a valid outcome the business can fulfil. ## What a good configurator needs Before adding AI, businesses should get the foundations right: 1. **A useful default:** Give customers a sensible starting point rather than an empty product. 2. **Clear progress:** Show the current step, completed decisions and what remains. 3. **Visible consequences:** Update the preview, price, delivery and compatibility information as choices change. 4. **Reliable rules:** Prevent invalid combinations and explain why an option is unavailable. 5. **Save and share:** Support considered purchases, collaboration and sales handover. 6. **Mobile and accessible controls:** Every choice should work with touch, keyboard and assistive technology. 7. **Strong performance:** Load only the visual detail the customer needs at each stage. 8. **A complete summary:** Present the final configuration in plain language before checkout or enquiry. 9. **Connected systems:** Keep pricing, inventory, product data and customer records aligned. 10. **Useful analytics:** Measure decisions and friction without collecting more personal data than necessary. ## Start with product rules, then add intelligence The most successful configurator projects do not begin with 3D or AI. They begin by defining the option model: what customers can change, which combinations are valid, how pricing works and what the business can actually fulfil. From there, the experience can add the right level of visualisation, connect to commerce and operational systems, and introduce AI where it genuinely reduces customer effort. Product configurators are moving from a specialist feature for automotive brands to a broader model for personalised commerce. Businesses that make complex choices feel simple, visual and trustworthy will be better positioned for a market where customers increasingly expect products to adapt to them. If you are exploring a configurator for your business, our [e-commerce](/services/ecommerce), [AI and automation](/services/ai) and [web development](/services/web-development) teams can help define the product rules, map the screens and integrations, and build a commercially useful experience.

> **Step 2:** Turn discovery into a delivery roadmap. You are here. A good discovery workshop creates alignment. It explains the business context, why the project exists, which outcomes matter, what could put delivery at risk and what a successful launch needs to include. The next challenge is turning that shared understanding into a plan a delivery team can actually use. This is where the roadmapping session begins. It takes the findings from the 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop and breaks them into features, stories, tasks, dependencies, estimates, workstreams and delivery phases. It is the point where the project moves from "why and what" to "how, when, who and how much." I have found this stage particularly valuable on [Shopify Plus migrations](/services/shopify-plus-ecommerce-agency). Large commerce projects rarely fail because the team forgot that a product page or checkout exists. Problems usually come from details that were not broken down early enough: product data rules, regional differences, integration ownership, B2B logic, content dependencies, SEO changes, testing responsibilities or app limitations. A detailed roadmap makes those details visible before design and development commit the project to an approach. ## The difference between discovery and roadmapping Discovery and roadmapping are closely connected, but they are not the same exercise. The 7-Sheet Workshop is a stakeholder alignment tool. It covers: - Business context - Project purpose and goals - Platform and delivery approach - Critical success factors - Risks - Definition of done - Open issues and the carpark It helps the group agree what the project is trying to achieve and what must be protected. Roadmapping is the delivery team's working plan. It covers: - Features and customer journeys - Page templates and reusable components - User stories and technical tasks - Native, app-based and custom approaches - Effort by role and discipline - Dependencies and critical path - MVP, later phases and future ideas - Workstream timelines and handovers - Integration and migration planning - Testing, training and launch preparation Put simply, discovery answers **why, what and for whom**. Roadmapping answers **how, when, who and how much**. Skipping discovery can produce a detailed roadmap for the wrong project. Skipping roadmapping can produce good strategic notes with no reliable path into delivery. Both steps matter. ## What needs to be ready before roadmapping Roadmapping works best when the main discovery decisions are documented and the people in the room know what is still open. Before starting, I look for: - An agreed project purpose - Prioritised goals and success measures - Initial MVP boundaries - A current platform and integration map - Known customer, operational and regional requirements - Critical success factors - A first risk register - A working definition of done - Named owners for open discovery questions - Access to existing analytics, content and system documentation Not every question needs to be resolved. In fact, some roadmapping work exists to investigate an unknown. The important thing is to distinguish a confirmed requirement from an assumption, and to give unresolved decisions an owner and deadline. If the team cannot explain the purpose or priorities, return to [Step 1, the 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop](/blog/shopify-plus-migration-discovery-workshop) before estimating features. ## Who should take part Roadmapping needs a more delivery-focused group than the main discovery session, while still keeping decision-makers close enough to resolve trade-offs. The core group will normally include: - Product or project manager - Technical lead or solution architect - UX and information architecture - Design lead - Front-end and back-end development - SEO specialist - Data and analytics specialist - Content or copy lead - Quality assurance - DevOps or platform operations where relevant - E-commerce or trading lead Specialists should join for the workstreams they own. Finance may be needed for payments and reconciliation. Operations may be needed for fulfilment and returns. Customer service may own account and contact journeys. Regional teams may need to approve market differences. ERP, OMS, PIM or 3PL owners must be involved when an integration is being estimated. Stakeholders do not need to sit through every story estimate. They do need to approve priorities, scope choices and trade-offs at planned checkpoints. ## Start by carrying the discovery decisions forward The first part of roadmapping is not creating new feature ideas. It is reviewing the decisions already made. Place the discovery outputs beside the roadmap and check: - Which goals does the roadmap need to support? - Which success factors affect architecture or acceptance? - Which risks require investigation or contingency? - Which definition-of-done items need stories or tasks? - Which open issues block estimation? - Which MVP boundaries have already been agreed? This creates traceability. A feature should exist because it supports a customer journey, business outcome, operational requirement or delivery obligation. If no one can explain why a feature is needed, it should not quietly enter the estimate. ## Step 1: Build the feature inventory The feature inventory is the broadest view of what the project may need. It captures storefront, customer, content, operational, integration and delivery requirements before they are separated into detailed stories. For a Shopify Plus project, I normally organise the inventory into areas such as: ### Global storefront - Announcement and promotional messaging - Header and navigation - Search entry points - Country, language and currency selection - Footer and service links - Consent and preferences - Accessibility controls and shared states ### Product discovery - Collections and category structure - Search and predictive search - Filters and sorting - Merchandising rules - Product recommendations - Product finders or guided selling - Recently viewed and saved items ### Product detail - Product information and media - Variant selection - Availability and delivery messages - Subscriptions or purchase options - Bundles and related products - Reviews and user-generated content - Samples, swatches or consultation journeys - Store or stockist availability ### Conversion - Cart behaviour - Discounts and promotions - Gift cards and gifting - Shipping estimates - Checkout content and validation - Payment methods and buy now, pay later - Post-purchase communication - Returns and exchanges ### Customer accounts - Registration and login - Order history - Address management - Saved products - Subscription management - Loyalty and referrals - Customer service handover - Privacy and data requests ### B2B and wholesale - Company profiles and locations - Buyer roles and permissions - Catalogues and price lists - Quantity rules and volume pricing - Payment terms and invoicing - Purchase orders - Sales representative involvement - ERP and finance handover ### Content and brand - Landing pages - Editorial content - Campaign pages - FAQs and support content - Store or location pages - Market-specific content - Reusable sections and content models - Digital asset and translation workflows ### Integrations and operations - ERP, OMS, PIM and WMS - Third-party logistics and fulfilment - CRM and lifecycle marketing - Search, reviews, loyalty and subscriptions - Customer service and returns - Tax, duties, fraud and payments - Analytics, consent and reporting - Data migration and reconciliation ### Delivery and readiness - Environments and access - SEO migration - Analytics implementation - Content migration - Quality assurance - User acceptance testing - Training and documentation - Launch, rollback and post-launch support The inventory should be complete enough to reveal the project shape, but it does not need a perfect solution attached to every line. Detailed decomposition comes next. ## Step 2: Break features into stories and tasks A feature name is rarely detailed enough to estimate. "Product filters" sounds small until the team asks which data defines the filters, who maintains it, whether values change by market, how filters behave on mobile, which combinations need indexation controls and what happens when product data is incomplete. Each feature should be broken into: - **Stories:** customer-facing or user-facing outcomes - **Tasks:** technical, operational or delivery work required to make the story possible - **Acceptance criteria:** the conditions that show the story is complete - **Dependencies:** other decisions, systems or stories that must happen first - **Unknowns:** questions that need investigation before the estimate can be trusted ### Example: product filtering A story may be: > As a customer, I can filter a collection by the attributes that matter to my purchase so I can find suitable products quickly. Tasks may include: - Confirm filter attributes and merchandising rules - Define the metafield structure - Clean and populate product data - Configure Shopify Search & Discovery or another tool - Design desktop and mobile filter behaviour - Build active-filter states and empty results - Define SEO rules for parameter combinations - Add analytics events - Test catalogue size, accessibility and performance - Document the ongoing product-data process The story is no longer just a front-end component. It is a connected piece of product data, UX, technology, SEO, analytics and operations. ## Step 3: Classify the implementation approach For each story, record the likely approach: - Native Shopify capability - Theme or configuration work - Shopify app - Custom app or middleware - Integration with an existing system - New business process - Requirement that should be changed or removed - Investigation needed before a decision This classification helps the team compare build effort with licence cost, operational overhead, data risk and long-term support. An app is not automatically simpler than custom work. It may introduce theme code, customer-data access, recurring cost, API limits or market restrictions. Custom development is not automatically better either. It creates ownership, testing and maintenance responsibilities. The roadmap should show the trade-off, not hide it. ## Step 4: Estimate effort at story level Once the story, tasks and approach are understood, estimate the effort required from each discipline. Depending on the project, roles may include: - Content - Strategy - SEO - Data and analytics - UX - Information architecture - Design - Copywriting - Technical lead - Back-end development - Front-end development - DevOps - Quality assurance - Development QA - Project management The purpose of role-based estimation is not to create false precision. It is to show where the work sits and prevent invisible disciplines from being forgotten. A product page story may require only a few development hours but substantial product-data, UX, content, design, SEO and testing work. A data migration may need little visual design but significant technical analysis, rehearsal, reconciliation and project coordination. Story estimates roll up into feature, epic, workstream and phase totals. This gives the project manager a first view of cost, capacity and timeline. ### Use ranges when uncertainty is real If an integration has not been documented or an app has not been tested, use a range or a time-boxed investigation rather than pretending the estimate is fixed. Record the assumption beside the estimate. For example: - Estimate assumes the ERP exposes the required customer and order endpoints - Estimate excludes historic order migration beyond the agreed period - Estimate assumes one shared product model across markets - Estimate requires checkout validation to be supported by extensibility An estimate without its assumptions is difficult to manage later. ## Step 5: Prioritise MVP, Phase 2 and future work Roadmapping makes scope trade-offs visible. Every feature should be placed into a delivery phase rather than left in one large backlog. ### MVP The minimum set of capabilities required to launch safely and achieve the agreed project purpose. MVP should include operational readiness, SEO, analytics, accessibility, testing and training. Those are not optional extras simply because customers do not see them as features. ### Phase 2 Valuable improvements that can follow launch without preventing the first release from succeeding. These may include richer personalisation, additional account tools, advanced merchandising or process automation. ### Phase 3 and future Ideas that need more evidence, depend on later business changes or are not justified by the current goals. > ### From our experience: use the line to create alignment > > When we run these roadmapping sessions, one of the most important outcomes is alignment between the client and agency on what belongs in MVP, what moves into Phase 2 and what is held for Phase 3. This gives both teams the same expectations before design and development begin. > > We make that decision visual. MVP features sit above a clear scope line. Phase 2, Phase 3 and nice-to-have ideas sit below it. The items below the line are not forgotten. They remain visible and can move into scope when priorities, evidence, budget or capacity change. This is much clearer than hiding deferred ideas in a separate document or leaving everything in one undifferentiated backlog. > > The format works particularly well for larger teams because everyone can contribute, question assumptions and see the effect of each trade-off. Running the session in person usually creates the strongest conversation, but the same method works online with shared boards in [Miro](/platforms/miro) or [FigJam](/platforms/figma). The important part is that the board stays open, collaborative and easy for every participant to understand. > > Before the session ends, confirm the features above and below the line, the reason for each decision, any assumptions attached to it and who has authority to approve a later scope change. That shared visual record becomes a practical reference for the client, agency and delivery team. ### A practical prioritisation test For each feature, consider: - Customer value - Business value - Operational necessity - Legal or compliance need - Dependency on other work - Delivery risk - Evidence available - Cost and capacity - Whether a safe workaround exists MVP is not the smallest possible website. It is the smallest release that can achieve the agreed purpose safely and be operated by the business. ## Step 6: Map dependencies and the critical path Features cannot be sequenced by priority alone. Product filtering may depend on the product data model. Product page design may depend on confirmed variant structures. Checkout work may depend on payment and shipping decisions. SEO redirect mapping may depend on the final information architecture. Content entry may depend on approved templates and translations. The roadmap should show: - Story-to-story dependencies - External vendor dependencies - Decision deadlines - Data and content readiness - Environment and access dependencies - Work that can run in parallel - Work that controls the launch date This is where a feature list becomes a project roadmap. The critical path should be visible to stakeholders. If an ERP interface or product model controls several downstream workstreams, that decision deserves more attention than a small visual enhancement even if it is less exciting to discuss. ## Step 7: Organise the work into parallel workstreams Large Shopify Plus projects rarely move through one simple sequence. Several workstreams run at the same time and meet at planned handovers. Typical workstreams include: ### Experience design Information architecture, user journeys, wireframes, design system, templates and component states. ### Content and migration Content inventory, ownership, writing, photography, translation, entry, product data and migration rehearsals. ### Storefront development Theme architecture, components, customer interactions, performance and accessibility. ### Integrations and data System interfaces, middleware, migration scripts, error handling, monitoring and reconciliation. ### SEO URL architecture, redirects, canonicals, hreflang, structured data, internal linking and launch monitoring through [Google Search Console](/platforms/google-search-console). ### Data and analytics Measurement plan, consent, [Google Analytics](/platforms/google-analytics), tag management, reporting and validation. ### Testing and readiness Functional QA, cross-browser and device testing, integration testing, UAT, training, documentation and support preparation. ### Deployment and post-launch Data freeze, final migration, cutover, rollback planning, monitoring, incident ownership and the first optimisation backlog. Each workstream needs milestones, inputs, outputs, owners and handovers. The roadmap should show how they meet, not just how they progress separately. ## Integration and technical planning Integration names are not enough for accurate roadmapping. "Connect Cin7" or "connect the ERP" does not explain what the integration needs to do. For each integration, map: - Business process supported - System of record - Data entities and fields - Direction of travel - Real-time, event-based or batch pattern - Expected frequency and volume - Authentication and access - Error handling and retry behaviour - Monitoring and alerting - Reconciliation process - Manual fallback - Support owner This should create a first integration architecture and expose gaps that need separate technical discovery. If the team cannot confirm the interface, create an investigation story. Do not hide unknown integration work inside a general development estimate. ## Shopify Plus constraints that need story-level decisions Shopify Plus provides a strong commerce foundation, but every requirement still needs to be assessed against the platform. ## Checkout extensibility Legacy checkout scripts and customisations may need to move to Shopify Functions, UI extensions, [Checkout Blocks](/platforms/shopify-checkout-blocks) or a changed business process. Roadmap the checkout requirement as a customer and operational outcome. Then validate whether the proposed approach can support the required market, payment and account states. ## Shopify B2B Company profiles, locations, catalogues, price lists, buyer permissions, payment terms and purchase orders affect customer experience, data and ERP processes. The [Shopify B2B and wholesale guide](/blog/shopify-b2b-wholesale-guide) explains the main decisions in more detail. ## Markets and expansion stores International architecture changes domains, content, catalogue, payments, tax, fulfilment, governance and SEO. Decide the model before estimating duplicated or market-specific work. See the guide to [Shopify Markets versus expansion stores](/blog/shopify-markets-vs-expansion-stores). ## Metafields and metaobjects Content and product attributes need a governed data model. Filters, product finders, comparison, content sections and integrations may all depend on the same field structure. Roadmap data modelling before downstream templates and migration. If bulk data needs to be moved or rehearsed, tools such as [Matrixify](/platforms/matrixify) may form part of the migration approach. ## Apps and platform performance Every app should be assessed for capability, market support, customer-data access, performance, accessibility, maintenance and total cost. App selection should include a proof of concept where the requirement or integration is important. ## API and webhook limits Integration patterns need to account for Shopify API limits, event delivery, retries, reconciliation and failure states. The happy path is only one part of the story. ## Operational automation [Shopify Flow](/platforms/shopify-flow) can support tagging, notifications, review queues and other workflows, but the business rule, owner and exception path still need to be defined. ## Content, SEO and analytics are roadmap work These disciplines should not sit outside the feature estimate. ### Content Every template needs a purpose, content owner, source, approval process and migration rule. New product finders or comparison journeys may require data that does not exist today. Translation and legal review may control the timeline. ### SEO [SEO and GEO](/services/seo) stories should cover URL structure, redirect mapping, canonicals, hreflang, metadata, headings, structured data, XML sitemaps, internal links, performance and post-launch monitoring. SEO requirements should be linked to the relevant templates and features. For example, product filtering needs indexation rules, market architecture needs hreflang and a migration needs redirect acceptance criteria. ### Analytics Measurement stories should begin with decisions the business needs to make. Define events, parameters, consent, data layers, dashboards and validation for priority journeys. If an MVP feature cannot be measured or operated, its definition of done is incomplete. ## Plan testing, UAT and training at story level Testing effort grows with the number of markets, devices, customer states, integrations and purchasing paths. The roadmap should cover: - Functional testing - Accessibility testing - Cross-browser and device testing - Performance testing - Payment and checkout testing - Integration and failure testing - Data migration reconciliation - SEO pre-launch checks - Analytics validation - User acceptance testing - Regression testing - Launch rehearsal Assign UAT scenarios to business owners. The delivery team can test whether a feature behaves as specified, but operational teams need to confirm that it supports the real process. Training and handover also need stories, estimates and acceptance criteria. Documentation, role setup and support procedures should be ready before launch, not written after the project team has moved on. ## Keep a live risk, dependency and decision log The roadmapping session will surface new risks and decisions. Add them to the project record immediately. Examples include: - Checkout extensibility may not support a required validation - ERP sync timing is still to be confirmed - A product builder requires separate technical scoping - Filters depend on a new metafield structure - Reviews depend on final app selection - Local teams have not approved the shared catalogue model - Historical orders exceed the agreed migration volume - Product photography will not be ready for content entry Each item needs an owner, next action, due date and effect on the estimate or critical path. Do not remove an unknown from the roadmap simply because it cannot be estimated yet. Represent it as investigation work and show which decisions depend on it. ## What the roadmapping session should produce A finished roadmap should give the organisation more than one large estimate. Key outputs include: ### Feature inventory Features grouped by customer journey, template, business process and integration area. ### Story-level estimate Effort by role, total effort, assumptions and confidence for each story. ### Phased product roadmap MVP, Phase 2 and future features with clear reasons for each decision. ### Project roadmap Workstreams, milestones, dependencies, handovers and critical path. ### Integration architecture Systems, data ownership, interfaces, sync patterns, monitoring and open technical questions. ### Risk and dependency log Known blockers, uncertainties, mitigations, owners and decision dates. ### Role and capacity plan Which disciplines are needed, when they are needed and where internal or vendor availability affects the schedule. ### Decision log Approved trade-offs, rejected approaches, assumptions and items that still require stakeholder sign-off. These outputs become the basis for a statement of work, budget, delivery timeline and mobilisation plan. ## A practical roadmapping session structure For a large migration, roadmapping is usually a short programme rather than one very long meeting. ### Session 1: Feature inventory - Review discovery outcomes - Map customer and operational journeys - Capture storefront, content and integration features - Identify known dependencies and unknowns ### Session 2: Story decomposition and technical approach - Break priority features into stories and tasks - Classify native, app, custom and investigation work - Map data, platform and integration dependencies - Draft acceptance criteria ### Session 3: Estimation and phasing - Estimate effort by role - Review assumptions and confidence - Prioritise MVP, Phase 2 and future work - Identify critical path and capacity constraints ### Session 4: Roadmap approval - Review product and project roadmaps - Confirm trade-offs - Approve MVP boundaries - Assign open decisions - Agree the next planning and design outputs The exact format depends on project size. A smaller store may need two focused sessions. A global migration with B2B, several integrations and independent markets will require specialist follow-ups. ## How to manage price without pretending every detail is known Roadmapping should improve commercial confidence, but it cannot remove every unknown. Separate work into: - Well-understood stories with a stable estimate - Stories estimated within an agreed range - Time-boxed investigation work - External costs such as apps, licences and vendors - Client-owned work such as content, data preparation or UAT - Contingency tied to named risks This is more useful than one fixed number with hidden assumptions. When an investigation changes the scope, update the roadmap and decision log. The roadmap is a controlled working document, not a promise that nothing will ever change. ## What happens after roadmapping Once the roadmap is approved, the project can move into detailed planning and execution with a much stronger foundation. Typical next steps include: 1. Finalise the statement of work and delivery team. 2. Confirm the solution and integration architecture. 3. Develop the information architecture and URL model. 4. Create low-fidelity wireframes for priority journeys. 5. Define the content model and migration plan. 6. Complete SEO and analytics requirements. 7. Produce the visual design and component system. 8. Begin development and integration work. 9. Rehearse data migration and testing. 10. Prepare UAT, training, cutover and post-launch support. The roadmap remains active throughout these stages. Design may expose a new dependency. Integration testing may change an estimate. Content work may reveal missing product data. Those changes should be recorded and managed against the agreed goals and MVP. ## Common roadmapping mistakes ### Estimating from feature names Break the feature into customer behaviour, technical tasks, data, content, SEO, analytics and acceptance before assigning effort. ### Treating every idea as MVP Use the project purpose, success factors and dependencies to make trade-offs. A later phase is often the responsible choice. ### Hiding uncertainty inside development estimates Create investigation stories and record assumptions. Unknown work does not become safer because it is given a precise number. ### Forgetting client-owned work Content, product data, legal approval, translations, access and UAT can control the launch date. Show them on the roadmap with owners. ### Choosing apps without operational review Confirm capability, data use, market support, maintenance, performance and cost before treating an app as the solution. ### Sequencing by department rather than dependency Workstreams can run in parallel, but handovers and critical decisions must be explicit. ### Leaving testing and training until the end Estimate them with the features and plan readiness milestones before launch. ### Disconnecting the roadmap from discovery Every significant feature and trade-off should connect back to a goal, journey, risk or definition-of-done requirement. ## Roadmapping checklist Before approving the roadmap, confirm: - Discovery outcomes are reflected in the feature plan - Every MVP feature supports an agreed purpose or requirement - Features are decomposed enough to estimate - Native, app, custom and investigation approaches are identified - Role-based effort is visible - Assumptions are recorded beside estimates - MVP, Phase 2 and future work are separated - Dependencies and critical path are mapped - Integrations include data ownership and failure handling - Content and product-data work have owners - SEO and analytics are included in the relevant stories - Testing, UAT, training and launch are estimated - Risks and unknowns have owners and next actions - Workstreams have milestones and handovers - Stakeholders have approved the main trade-offs - The roadmap can support a statement of work and capacity plan If several of these points are missing, detailed design is likely to begin with avoidable uncertainty. ## Final thoughts Roadmapping is where the project becomes real. The 7-Sheet Workshop creates a shared view of the business, goals, risks and success. The roadmapping session turns that view into stories, estimates, phases, responsibilities and a critical path. Across complex commerce projects, this step has helped me expose platform constraints earlier, price work more honestly and keep delivery teams and stakeholders aligned on what is being built first and why. The roadmap will continue to change as the team learns. That is expected. What matters is that change happens against an agreed purpose, with the effect on scope, timing and risk made visible. If you are starting this process, begin with [Step 1, the 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop](/blog/shopify-plus-migration-discovery-workshop). When that alignment is in place, New Site Agency can help turn it into a detailed [Shopify Plus delivery roadmap](/contact) covering customer experience, architecture, integrations, SEO, analytics, testing and launch. ### How to Plan a Shopify Plus Migration with a 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop URL: https://newsiteagency.com/blog/shopify-plus-migration-discovery-workshop Published: 2026-07-25 A practical guide to planning a Shopify Plus migration with a seven-part discovery workshop covering scope, risks, architecture, SEO and delivery. Planning a large [Shopify Plus migration](/services/shopify-plus-ecommerce-agency) can be demanding. It usually involves more teams, systems and business rules than anyone can see from the storefront alone. The e-commerce team understands trading priorities. Operations understands fulfilment and returns. Finance understands payment, tax and reconciliation. Marketing understands campaigns, customer data and content. IT understands integrations, security and support. Local market teams know which regional details cannot be lost. If those views are not brought together early, the project starts with gaps that become expensive later. That is why I like to begin a large migration with a structured discovery workshop before moving into solution design. We call the method the **7-Sheet Workshop**. It gives everyone one place to explain how the business works, what the project needs to achieve, what could block it and what a successful launch actually means. The aim is not to solve every technical detail in one meeting. The aim is to replace assumptions with shared facts and give the project a reliable starting point. > **Shopify Plus planning series** > > **Step 1:** Run the 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop. You are here.
> **Step 2:** [Turn discovery into a detailed delivery roadmap](/blog/shopify-plus-project-roadmapping-session) I have used this approach while planning and delivering complex platform migrations, including the migration of Tony's Chocolonely from a custom CMS to Shopify Plus across seven storefronts. It is particularly useful for Shopify Plus, but the same structure can be used for a website, marketplace, app, CRM, customer portal or other major digital project. ## What the workshop needs to achieve A useful discovery session should do more than collect a long list of features. It should help the group answer five practical questions: 1. Why are we doing this project? 2. What must be true for it to succeed? 3. What are we changing, keeping or retiring? 4. What decisions and risks could affect delivery? 5. What happens after the workshop? By the end, you should have enough clarity to prepare a product roadmap, project roadmap, information architecture, SEO and analytics requirements, content plan, early wireframes, statement of work and delivery timeline. Those documents will still develop as the project moves forward. Discovery is not meant to create false certainty. It is meant to show what is known, what is not known and who owns the next decision. ## Why feature lists are not enough Migration briefs often begin with a spreadsheet of requirements. That can be useful, but it rarely explains the business behind those requirements. For example, a request for "customer accounts" could mean a basic order history. It could also mean company buyers, approval rules, saved addresses, negotiated price lists, invoices, credit limits, sales representative access and an ERP connection. A request for "international markets" could mean translated content within one store, or it could mean separate legal entities, catalogues, bank accounts, fulfilment partners and regional release teams. If the team starts choosing apps and drawing screens before understanding that context, the solution can look correct while missing the real operating model. The 7-Sheet Workshop deliberately starts with the business and project purpose before moving into platforms. Technology decisions then follow the customer, commercial and operational requirements rather than leading them. ## Who should be in the room The right group depends on the size of the organisation, but a Shopify Plus discovery session will often include: - The e-commerce or digital commerce manager - A project sponsor or business owner - Marketing and content leads - Customer service or customer experience - Operations, fulfilment and logistics - Finance and payments - IT, security or enterprise architecture - Product data, PIM or merchandising owners - B2B or wholesale representatives - Local market representatives where relevant - The delivery partner's product, design, technical and SEO leads Not everyone needs to attend every minute. It is better to plan the agenda so specialists join when their knowledge is needed. What matters is that a decision owner is present and that people who operate the current process have a voice. Senior stakeholders can explain why the project matters. The people doing the work every day can explain where the process actually breaks. ## What to prepare before the session I normally ask for a small set of material before the workshop. It does not need to be perfectly organised. - Current platform and app list - System or integration diagram, if one exists - Recent analytics and revenue by market or channel - Product catalogue size and product data sources - Customer, order and content volumes - Current site structure and priority landing pages - Search Console access and known SEO issues - Existing customer research, support themes or usability findings - Planned campaigns, launches and trading peaks - Known contracts, licence renewals and vendor deadlines - Organisation chart or a simple list of owners - Initial budget and target launch window If the organisation cannot provide all of this, that is useful information too. Missing documentation, unclear system ownership and inaccessible data are project risks that discovery should surface. ## The 7-Sheet Workshop Each sheet has a clear purpose. I normally run the session on a shared digital board so everyone can contribute and the facilitator can group related points as the conversation develops. The sheets are not seven isolated conversations. Information moves between them. A business goal might create a critical success factor. A platform constraint might become a risk. An open question might need to be resolved before the definition of done can be agreed. ## Sheet 1: Business context The first sheet is about understanding the business before discussing the new site. This is where we learn how the company makes money, who its customers are, how products reach those customers and what makes the offer different. For an established e-commerce business, this context affects nearly every platform decision. ### Questions to cover - How did the business start and how has it changed? - Which products, categories or services drive revenue and margin? - Who are the main customer groups? - What jobs are customers trying to complete? - Which channels are important: D2C, B2B, retail, marketplaces or wholesale? - Which countries or regions does the business trade in today? - Which markets are planned next? - How are products sourced, manufactured and distributed? - What seasonal peaks or campaign periods matter? - Who are the main competitors and where is the business different? - What internal teams operate the current experience? - Which parts of the current process create the most cost or friction? ### Why this matters for Shopify Plus [Shopify Plus](/platforms/shopify-plus) can support many operating models, but the right setup changes with the business. A shared global catalogue may suit Shopify Markets. Independent regional teams, entities or product ranges may justify expansion stores. A B2B operation may need company profiles, catalogues and payment terms. A high-consideration product may need a finder, samples or expert support before checkout. Without business context, these can be treated as isolated features. With context, they become parts of one commerce model. ### Output A short, agreed description of the business, customers, revenue model, channels, markets, differentiators and strategic drivers. This becomes a reference point when later decisions compete. ## Sheet 2: Project purpose and goals The second sheet defines why the project exists and what it needs to improve. "Move to Shopify Plus" is not a sufficient purpose on its own. The platform is a means to an outcome. The real purpose might be to reduce maintenance cost, improve time to market, support B2B, enter new countries, improve conversion, give local teams more control or replace an unsupported platform. ### Questions to cover - What problem triggered the project? - Why is the organisation acting now? - What would happen if nothing changed for another year? - Which customer and business outcomes matter most? - What does the current platform prevent the team from doing? - Which outcomes can be measured before and after launch? - What is the target launch period and what drives it? - What is the minimum viable release? - What can wait for a later phase? - What is explicitly outside the project? - Which stakeholders have different priorities? ### Turn goals into useful measures The strongest goals are specific enough to influence the project. Examples include: - Reduce the time required to launch a campaign across markets - Allow local teams to publish approved content without development support - Improve mobile performance against an agreed performance budget - Protect priority organic landing pages during migration - Support company accounts and agreed B2B purchasing journeys - Reduce manual order or customer-service steps through connected workflows - Improve the quality of conversion and customer journey reporting Revenue and conversion matter, but they are not the only useful measures. Operational measures often show whether the new platform has genuinely improved the business. ### Output A clear project purpose, prioritised goals, scope boundaries, initial success measures and a first view of MVP versus later releases. ## Sheet 3: Platform and approach Only after the business and project goals are understood do we move into the platform and delivery approach. This is not an app selection exercise. The first task is to map what exists today, what each system owns and what may need to change. ### Map the current stack For a Shopify Plus migration, the current landscape may include: - Commerce platform or custom CMS - ERP and order management - Product information management - Warehouse and third-party logistics - Point of sale - Customer relationship management - Email and lifecycle marketing - Search, recommendations and personalisation - Reviews, loyalty and subscriptions - Customer service and returns - Payments, tax and fraud tools - Analytics, consent and tag management - Content management and digital asset management For each system, record its owner, purpose, important data, interfaces, contract position and known problems. Then decide whether it is likely to be retained, replaced, consolidated or investigated. ### Define the delivery approach The same sheet should cover how the project will run: - Which teams will work on the project? - Who owns product, design, technology, SEO, content and data? - How will decisions be made and recorded? - Which communication and project tools will be used? - Will rollout be phased by market, channel or capability? - Is there a safe period for data rehearsal and parallel operation? - Which vendors or internal teams control dependencies? - What environments, access and approvals are required? ### Output A current-state platform map, early target-state principles, list of integrations and dependencies, ownership model and recommended delivery approach. Detailed solution architecture follows after discovery, but the main constraints should now be visible. ## Sheet 4: Critical success factors Critical success factors are the conditions that must be protected even when the project faces trade-offs. They are different from a wish list. A critical success factor should be important enough to influence scope, architecture, sequence or acceptance. ### Common examples - No loss of priority organic search traffic caused by unmanaged URL changes - Stable checkout and order flow during the trading peak - Page performance remains within an agreed budget - Local market teams can manage approved content independently - Product, price and inventory data reconcile with source systems - Customer and order data migration meets agreed quality thresholds - B2B customers can complete their priority purchasing journeys - Accessibility requirements are met across core templates - Support teams receive training and documented procedures before launch - Monitoring and ownership are in place for key integrations I normally ask the group to limit and rank these. If everything is critical, nothing is useful as a decision tool. ### Output A prioritised set of non-negotiable conditions with an owner and a way to test each one. ## Sheet 5: Risks Risk identification is not a negative exercise. It gives the team time to change the plan before a risk becomes an incident. The most useful risks are specific. "Data migration may be difficult" is too broad. "Historic customer records use inconsistent country codes and cannot be imported until they are normalised" is something the team can investigate and mitigate. ### Risk areas for a Shopify Plus migration - Incomplete or inconsistent product, customer or order data - Unclear ownership of ERP, OMS, PIM or fulfilment integrations - Vendor APIs, webhooks or rate limits that do not support the intended flow - App functionality that differs across markets or currencies - Checkout customisations that cannot move directly to checkout extensibility - URL changes that put organic search equity at risk - Missing content, product photography or translation capacity - Market-specific payment, tax, shipping or legal requirements - B2B rules that have not been documented - Peak trading periods that restrict launch timing - Too little time for migration rehearsal and reconciliation - Internal teams that are not available for acceptance testing - Scope growth caused by unclear MVP boundaries - Budget decisions that remain unresolved while design begins ### Record more than a risk score For each important risk, capture: - The cause - The possible impact - Likelihood - Mitigation - Owner - Date for the next action - Trigger for escalation ### Output A working risk register tied to the roadmap. It should be reviewed throughout the project, not archived after the workshop. ## Sheet 6: Definition of done This is one of the most important sheets because it turns general expectations into completion criteria. A site is not done because the new theme has been published. The project may also require reconciled data, trained teams, working integrations, redirected URLs, analytics validation, operational handover and a stable post-launch period. ### Define done by phase It is often clearer to define completion for discovery, design, build, migration rehearsal, launch and post-launch support separately. Questions to ask include: - Who signs off each phase? - Which customer journeys must pass acceptance testing? - What data reconciliation threshold is acceptable? - Which browsers and devices must be supported? - What performance and accessibility checks are required? - Which analytics events and reports must be validated? - What SEO checks must pass before launch? - Which documents and training must be complete? - How long is the post-launch stability window? - Which issues would stop a launch? - What is the rollback or fallback plan? ### Include the intended experience Definition of done should include more than technical acceptance. Record what the brand should feel like, what customers should be able to understand and what operating teams should be able to manage confidently. ### Output Phase-based acceptance criteria, sign-off owners, launch gates, handover requirements and a clear view of what must be stable before the project is closed. ## Sheet 7: Open issues and carpark A structured workshop needs somewhere to put important questions that cannot be answered in the moment. The carpark allows the group to keep moving without losing those points. It can include missing data, contract questions, content dependencies, pricing decisions, legal review, ownership disputes or ideas that belong in a later phase. Every item needs more than a note. Record: - The question or decision - The person responsible - Information needed - Due date - Next action - Escalation path if it remains blocked At the end of the workshop, review the carpark and decide which items block solution design. Those become immediate next steps. ### Output An owned decision and action log that closes the gap between the workshop and the next stage of planning. ## Shopify Plus topics that need deeper discovery The seven sheets create the structure. Shopify Plus then brings a set of specific topics that need to be explored within that structure. ## Theme and storefront strategy Confirm whether the project will use a standard theme, a custom Online Store 2.0 theme or a headless storefront. Document component needs, content flexibility, release ownership and performance budgets. Our [web development service](/services/web-development) covers the storefront, performance, accessibility and integration decisions around this work. Ask which parts of the current experience are genuinely valuable. A migration is not a reason to reproduce every old template. It is a chance to simplify the experience while preserving customer and operational requirements. ## Checkout extensibility Review current checkout scripts, apps, tracking, payment rules, delivery logic and post-purchase experiences. Identify which customisations can be replaced by native Shopify features, [Shopify Checkout Blocks](/platforms/shopify-checkout-blocks), UI extensions or Shopify Functions, and which requirements need to change. Do this early. A legacy checkout behaviour may not have a direct equivalent, and the business needs time to choose an acceptable approach. ## Apps versus custom development Apps can reduce build time, but every app adds cost, data handling, support and upgrade considerations. For each capability, compare: - Native Shopify capability - Existing app - Alternative app - Custom app or integration - Operational workaround - Decision not to migrate the feature The best answer is not always the most feature-rich option. It is the option the organisation can operate and support. ## Integrations and data ownership ERP, OMS, PIM, ESP, WMS, 3PL, CRM and finance systems should be mapped as business processes, not just connection lines. For every interface, define: - System of record - Data direction - Trigger or schedule - Expected volume - Error handling - Retry behaviour - Monitoring - Reconciliation - Support owner This makes integration failures easier to design for and operate after launch. ## International commerce Decide whether Shopify Markets, expansion stores or a hybrid model best fits the business. Consider legal entities, bank accounts, catalogues, currencies, languages, tax, duties, payments, domains, SEO, fulfilment and regional team autonomy. I have written a separate guide on [Shopify Markets versus expansion stores](/blog/shopify-markets-vs-expansion-stores) because this decision can change the entire migration architecture. ## Shopify B2B Wholesale requirements should be mapped as real buyer journeys. Cover company profiles, locations, buyers, permissions, catalogues, price lists, payment terms, purchase orders, invoicing, tax treatment, sales representative involvement and ERP ownership. The [Shopify B2B and wholesale guide](/blog/shopify-b2b-wholesale-guide) goes deeper into these decisions. Do not assume the D2C journey can simply be reused for B2B customers. ## Product and content data Review products, variants, categories, collections, attributes, media, translations, editorial content and files. Define how metafields and metaobjects will be governed and who can change each type of information. Data migration should include extraction, transformation, testing, reconciliation and sign-off. A single final import is not a migration plan. For many Shopify projects, [Matrixify](/platforms/matrixify) can support controlled bulk exports, imports and migration rehearsals. ## Performance and accessibility Agree performance budgets and accessibility requirements before design and app selection. Heavy media, tracking, personalisation and third-party scripts all compete for the same page budget. Performance should be tested on real templates and realistic devices. Accessibility should be part of component and content acceptance, not a final scan. ## SEO and analytics [SEO and GEO](/services/seo) need to be part of the migration from the beginning. The workshop should identify priority pages, existing organic demand, URL changes, international signals and content that must be protected. The delivery plan should cover: - Crawl and indexation controls - URL and redirect mapping - Canonicals and duplicate-content rules - Hreflang and market architecture - Metadata and heading structure - Structured data - XML sitemaps - Internal linking - Page performance - Search Console verification - Pre-launch and post-launch monitoring Analytics discovery should define the customer actions, business outcomes and data quality needed after launch. Tracking every click is less useful than agreeing which decisions the data needs to support. [Google Analytics](/platforms/google-analytics) and [Google Search Console](/platforms/google-search-console) should be configured and verified before cutover rather than after an issue appears. ## Operations, permissions and support Map who will publish content, change products, launch promotions, manage markets, approve discounts, view customer data and respond to integration failures. Shopify roles, permissions and [Shopify Flow](/platforms/shopify-flow) should match that operating model. Training and handover should be planned as deliverables. A technically successful migration can still fail if the trading team cannot operate the new platform confidently. ## What this looked like for Tony's Chocolonely Tony's Chocolonely is a useful example because the migration was not one storefront and one technical team. The business moved from a custom Sofia CMS to Shopify Plus across seven storefronts: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the UK, the US, Austria and a global store. The programme needed to preserve Tony's distinctive brand and storytelling while giving local teams more control and reducing reliance on developer-heavy release cycles. I worked internally at Tony's as product manager and solution architect, coordinating business, design and technology decisions across IT, e-commerce, retail, design, operations and regional stakeholders. Specialist partners also contributed across Shopify delivery, OMS and ERP integration, SEO and custom development. Discovery and roadmap work helped make several important dependencies visible: - Regional requirements for language, tax, shipping and payments - A global theme with room for useful local variation - Product catalogue and content migration - Redirects, structured data and SEO continuity - ERP, fulfilment, Klaviyo and other integration requirements - B2B, corporate gifting and bulk-order needs - Training and handover for local teams - Rollout timing around major seasonal trading periods The rollout was phased rather than treated as one big launch. Parallel planning and fallback options helped reduce disruption around periods such as Valentine's Day and Christmas. The programme launched seven markets on Shopify Plus within seven months. The existing [Tony's Chocolonely Shopify Plus case study](/work/tonys-chocolonely) records a 30% faster time to market for campaigns and product launches, lower maintenance costs and improved autonomy for local teams. The important lesson is not that every migration should copy the same architecture. It is that business context, regional needs, operating ownership and success measures need to be understood before the platform is configured. ## Turning the workshop into a delivery plan The workshop is phase one. It should lead directly into a small number of useful planning outputs.
Seven-part discovery workshop board covering business context, project purpose, platform approach, success factors, risks, definition of done and open issues
An example of the full 7-Sheet Discovery Workshop board used to capture business context, project decisions, risks and open issues.
## 1. Discovery summary Write down the agreed business context, project purpose, scope, success factors, risks, definition of done and open decisions. Keep it concise enough that a stakeholder can understand the project without reading every workshop note. ## 2. Product roadmap Group capabilities into customer, business and platform outcomes. Separate MVP, later phases and ideas that are not yet justified. The product roadmap explains what the organisation intends to improve and why. ## 3. Project roadmap Sequence discovery, architecture, content, UX, build, integrations, data migration, testing, training, launch and post-launch support. Show dependencies and decision dates, not just task durations. ## 4. Solution and information architecture Map the target platforms, data ownership, integrations and storefront structure. Create the first site map and customer journey view so content and technical work can move together. ## 5. SEO and analytics requirements Record the migration controls, redirect approach, international signals, structured data, measurement plan and launch monitoring needed to protect visibility and establish a reliable baseline. ## 6. Content and experience plan Identify content owners, gaps, migration rules, photography, translation and approval steps. Use low-fidelity wireframes to test page purpose and journeys before detailed visual design begins. ## 7. Statement of work and timeline Convert the agreed scope, assumptions, dependencies, responsibilities and acceptance criteria into a commercial plan. Keep unresolved items visible rather than hiding them inside a fixed estimate. ## A practical workshop agenda For a complex migration, I prefer to run discovery across more than one session. People make better decisions when they have time to collect missing information between discussions. A practical structure might be: ### Session 1: Business and purpose - Introductions and roles - Business context - Customers, channels and markets - Project purpose and goals - Initial MVP discussion ### Session 2: Platform and operations - Current platform and system map - Customer and operational journeys - Data and integration dependencies - Delivery approach and ownership ### Session 3: Success, risk and completion - Critical success factors - Risks and mitigations - Definition of done - Open issues and carpark - Immediate next steps Each session can run for 90 minutes to two hours depending on the organisation. A smaller project may fit into one half-day workshop. A global Shopify Plus migration will normally benefit from focused follow-up sessions with finance, operations, content, SEO, data and local teams. ## Common discovery mistakes ### Starting with the new theme Visual design is easier to discuss than data ownership or operational failure, so teams can move to screens too quickly. The storefront should follow the agreed journeys and constraints. ### Treating the current site as the complete requirement Legacy features often reflect old platform limitations or forgotten decisions. Ask why each capability exists and whether the customer or business still needs it. ### Letting the loudest stakeholder define the MVP Use goals, critical success factors and evidence to prioritise. Make trade-offs visible and record who owns the final decision. ### Ignoring content until the build is nearly finished Content, photography, product data and translation can determine the launch date. Give them owners and deadlines during discovery. ### Assuming integrations will behave as they do today Document business processes, data ownership and failure handling. A named connector does not guarantee that the new flow meets the same operational need. ### Leaving SEO and analytics to launch week URL structure, market architecture, rendering, content and internal links are design and technical decisions. Measurement also needs time for implementation and validation. ### Calling every request essential MVP should be the smallest release that safely achieves the agreed purpose. Later phases are not a rejection. They protect the first launch from uncontrolled scope. ## Using the method beyond Shopify Plus Although this guide focuses on e-commerce, the seven sheets can create a solid foundation for almost any collaborative digital project. For a healthcare platform, the business context and risk sheets may focus more heavily on patient journeys, privacy and clinical responsibility. For a finance website, regulated content, disclosures and lead quality may become critical success factors. For an education marketplace, course data, provider ownership and search may shape the platform approach. The questions change, but the order remains useful: 1. Understand the organisation. 2. Agree why the project exists. 3. Map the platform and delivery reality. 4. Protect the conditions for success. 5. Surface risk early. 6. Define completion clearly. 7. Give every open decision an owner. That sequence creates a better foundation for collaboration because the client and delivery team begin with the same view of the problem. ## Final checklist for a migration discovery phase Before moving into detailed solution design, confirm that you can answer the following: - Is the business context documented and agreed? - Is the project purpose clear beyond "move to Shopify"? - Are goals measurable and prioritised? - Is MVP separated from later phases? - Are current platforms, data owners and integrations mapped? - Are customer, operational and regional requirements represented? - Are critical success factors ranked and testable? - Does every major risk have an owner and mitigation? - Is definition of done clear for each phase? - Are launch gates and sign-off owners named? - Are SEO, analytics, content and accessibility included early? - Are training, handover and post-launch support planned? - Does every open issue have a next action and date? - Can the workshop findings be turned into a product roadmap and project plan? If several answers are no, the project is probably not ready for a confident estimate or detailed design. Spending more time in discovery is usually less expensive than making those decisions during build or launch. ## Final thoughts The most valuable part of discovery is not the number of notes on the board. It is the shared understanding created between the business and the delivery team. Across the migrations I have planned and supported, a strong discovery phase has helped us find risks earlier, set more realistic scope, protect important customer and operational needs and create a roadmap people can actually use. A Shopify Plus migration will always involve unknowns. The goal is not to remove every unknown before work starts. The goal is to know which questions matter, who owns them and when they need to be answered. If you are preparing for a Shopify Plus migration, New Site Agency can run the discovery workshop, assess the current platform and turn the findings into a practical migration roadmap. You can also review our wider [e-commerce strategy and delivery capabilities](/services/ecommerce), or [talk to our Shopify Plus team](/contact) before committing to a theme, app stack or launch date. When the discovery decisions are agreed, continue to [Step 2, the Shopify Plus roadmapping session](/blog/shopify-plus-project-roadmapping-session) to turn them into features, estimates, phases, workstreams and a delivery plan. ### We're Now a Framer Expert Partner URL: https://newsiteagency.com/blog/framer-expert-partner Published: 2025-11-11 New Site Agency is officially a Framer Expert Partner.

Our experts explain which setup best supports your brand’s global growth strategy. When a client approaches New Site Agency to start a new Shopify project, our first step is always the same, we look closely at the business itself. Before any design or development work begins, we take the time to understand how the business operates today, where it’s currently trading, and what the future growth strategy looks like. We review current revenues, projections, and team structure, and map out where the business plans to expand next. This discovery phase isn’t just about numbers, it’s about identifying whether the business is ready for Shopify Markets or if Expansion Stores are a better fit for their global ambitions. Making this decision early helps prevent costly rework later, migrating from one setup to another can be complex, especially for growing brands with active sales channels, multiple apps, and localised SEO. ## Understanding the Two Options Before we recommend an approach, let’s break down the difference between Shopify Markets and Expansion Stores. ### Shopify Markets — One Store, Multiple Markets Shopify Markets allows brands to manage multiple regions within a single Shopify Plus store. It’s a powerful, centralised approach designed for brands that want to grow internationally without duplicating admin, apps, and themes. ### Key advantages: - Manage all countries, currencies, and languages from one admin. - Route payouts to multiple legal entities with Shopify Payments. - Offer automatic localisation with region-specific content and checkout. - Centralise tax, duties, and shipping settings per market. - Benefit from unified apps, integrations, and theme releases. - Automatically generate hreflang tags and per-domain sitemaps for SEO. - Reduce operational overhead with one codebase and governance model. ### When it’s best: - Your catalogue is largely shared across all regions. - You want to test a new market before committing to a full store. - You need a fast and cost-effective international rollout. - You prefer consistent brand control and centralised management. ### Expansion Stores — Multiple Stores, Full Autonomy Expansion Stores are separate Shopify stores under the same Plus organisation. You can run up to ten production stores (one main and nine expansions) at no extra licence cost. Each operates independently with its own checkout, apps, and configurations. ### Key advantages: - Full autonomy for regional teams to manage content and campaigns. - Independent Shopify Payments setup and local bank accounts. - Separate legal and tax environments per region. - Flexible tech stacks, unique integrations, ORPs, ERPs, or 3PLs per store. - Dedicated setups for B2B, wholesale, VIP, or retail-only channels. - Freedom to customise themes, apps, and workflows regionally. ### When it’s best: - You operate with independent P&Ls or regional legal entities. - Each region has unique catalogues, pricing, or fulfilment models. - You rely on regional gateways or alternative payment methods. - Local teams need independent release cycles and store-level control. - You’re managing regulated or highly localised trading environments. ## Shopify Markets vs Expansion Stores: Comparison Table **eature** **Shopify Markets** **Expansion Stores** **Structure** One Shopify Plus store managing multiple regions via Markets Multiple Shopify Plus stores (1 main + up to 9 expansion) **Setup Approach** Single-store internationalisation Multi-store architecture per region **Admin Access** Centralised — one admin for all markets Separate admin per store **Localisation** Local currency, language, and domain all within one store Each store configured independently for local needs **Payments** Multi-entity support allows local payouts via Shopify Payments Each store can use its own payment gateway and bank account **Legal & Tax Setup** Supports mapping markets to legal entities Each store can operate as its own legal entity **Product Catalogue** Shared global catalogue with market-level inclusion/exclusion Separate catalogues per store — full autonomy **Integrations** Single set of apps and integrations shared across markets Separate integrations for each store (ERP, PIM, CRM, etc.) **Theme & Design** One shared theme with market-specific content Different themes or customisations per region **SEO Management** Shopify auto-generates hreflang tags and per-domain sitemaps Manual cross-store SEO setup and linking required **Operational Costs** Lower cost of ownership — shared infrastructure and apps Higher cost — duplicated apps, integrations, and QA **Reporting** Consolidated analytics for all regions Separate reporting per store **Autonomy** Centralised governance and unified releases Full autonomy for regional teams and operations **Time to Launch** Faster setup — ideal for market testing and expansion Longer setup — requires store-by-store build **When to Use** Best for global brands sharing a common catalogue and looking to scale efficiently Best for complex brands with local teams, legal entities, or region-specific catalogues **Example Setup** One store covering UK, EU, and AU markets under Markets Separate stores for US, B2B, or regulated regions ## How We Help You Decide At New Site Agency, we don’t take a “one size fits all” approach. Every brand’s international setup should align with its business model, operations, and growth trajectory. 1. ### Discovery and Business Review We begin by reviewing your current Shopify setup, revenues, and forecasted growth. We assess where your customers are based, the markets you plan to enter next, and your legal and financial structure. This helps us determine whether you can operate under one entity using Shopify Markets or if you need regional separation through Expansion Stores. 2. ### Technical and App Audit We review your tech stack — including all apps, integrations, and connected systems — to see if they support Shopify Markets or need a store-specific configuration. For example, we look at whether your subscription or loyalty app supports multiple currencies and languages, if your ERP or 3PL integrations are market-aware, and if your marketing tools and analytics work across multiple storefronts. 3. ### SEO and Domain Planning We ensure that your international domain strategy is scalable. Whether you use subfolders (/uk/), subdomains (uk.example.com), or country domains (example.co.uk), we plan the best structure to support both performance and ranking. 4. ### Cost Modelling We run a side-by-side analysis of total cost of ownership for both setups, including app subscriptions, integration licences, QA and release management time, and ongoing maintenance. Our goal is to ensure you’re not overspending on duplicated infrastructure when a unified Markets setup could deliver the same results more efficiently. 5. ### Recommendation and Roadmap Finally, we provide a clear recommendation — Markets, Expansion Stores, or a hybrid approach — backed by a roadmap outlining timelines, setup, and long-term scalability. ## Common Hybrid Example Many enterprise merchants find success using a hybrid approach. For example, EU and UK might operate under one store using Shopify Markets, while the US has a dedicated Expansion Store for tax and fulfilment, and a B2B store runs separately using Shopify’s B2B tools. This gives the agility of Markets for most regions with the flexibility of Expansion Stores where needed. ## Why Deciding Early Matters Choosing the right structure early on saves time, cost, and technical debt. Migrating from multiple stores to a single Markets setup (or vice versa) later can involve SEO risks from URL changes, app and data re-integration, customer and order data migration, and manual reconfiguration of discounts, content, and reports. By aligning your business goals and technology from the start, you ensure your international Shopify setup is built for the long term. ### Final Thoughts Shopify is clearly investing in a single-storefront future through Shopify Markets, but Expansion Stores will continue to play an important role for businesses with complex, regulated, or region-specific needs. At New Site Agency, we help brands make this decision strategically, using data, revenue projections, and real operational requirements, so you can scale globally without replatforming twice. If you’re planning to expand into new regions or consolidate multiple Shopify stores, our experts can help you choose the right approach and implement it properly from day one.

Solve multi-domain & sub-folder indexation errors with the ultimate Liquid playbook. Get 100% coverage for global SEO. The shift to **Shopify Markets** has simplified the _creation_ of international stores. However, managing the `**hreflang**` **attributes**—the critical signal that tells Google which localized page to show—is the true technical challenge for enterprise SEO. For high-volume stores on Shopify Plus, an `hreflang` error means Google struggles to understand your site’s global structure, leading to costly issues: duplicate content penalties, misdirected traffic, and lost organic revenue. This guide provides a definitive technical playbook for mastering `hreflang` on Shopify Plus, focusing on the distinct challenges of **multi-domain vs. sub-folder** structures and the best tools for verification. ## **1\. Why Hreflang is Non-Negotiable for Shopify Markets** `Hreflang` is an HTML attribute used to define the language and optional regional targeting of a page. It addresses a fundamental SEO problem unique to international commerce: **duplicate content.** For example: - `shop.com/en-us` (US-English) - `shop.com/en-ca` (Canada-English) Both pages contain largely the same content, but are intended for different audiences. Without the correct `hreflang` annotation, Google sees two duplicate pages and may ignore one or both. ### **The Role of Shopify Markets** Shopify Markets automatically generates a base `hreflang` tag and includes published languages in your sitemaps. While this is helpful, relying solely on Shopify's default can be problematic for enterprise stores with: - **Complex Localization:** Markets with multiple languages (e.g., Canada: `/en-ca` and `/fr-ca`). - **Legacy Systems:** Stores migrating from older themes or platforms that left behind conflicting markup. - **Custom Pages:** Pages (like custom landing pages or "headless" sections) where the default Liquid files are bypassed. The goal for a Plus store is **100% coverage**—every localized page must point to its equivalent in every other language/region, including the crucial fallback tag. ## **2\. Navigating Domain Architecture & Hreflang Strategy** The structure you choose for your international stores dictates the complexity of your `hreflang` implementation. Shopify Markets supports three main structures, each with unique SEO considerations: ### **A. Multi-Domain Sites (Tony's Case Study Example)** **Structure** **Example** **Hreflang Complexity** **SEO Benefit** **Top-Level Domains** `tonybrand.com` (US) & `tonybrand.fr` (France) **Highest.** Requires manually linking distinct domains/sitemaps. Strongest geo-targeting signal. Builds separate, country-specific domain authority (ccTLD). **Enterprise Challenge:** Ensuring every page on `tonybrand.com` correctly links back to its canonical equivalent on **all other domains**. This is difficult to manage without a central, dynamic data feed. ### **B. Sub-Domain Sites** **Structure** **Example** **Hreflang Complexity** **SEO Benefit** **Sub-Domains** `us.tonybrand.com` & `fr.tonybrand.com` **Medium.** Sub-domains share root domain authority but are treated as separate sites by Google. Easier to manage than ccTLDs, good balance of authority and segmentation. ### **C. Sub-Folder Sites (Shopify Markets Default/Recommended)** **Structure** **Example** **Hreflang Complexity** **SEO Benefit** **Sub-Folders** `tonybrand.com/en-us` & `tonybrand.com/fr-ca` **Lowest.** Easiest to implement and inherit the primary domain's authority. Highly recommended for new global expansions due to shared SEO authority and simple management. ## **3\. The Liquid Playbook: Ensuring 100% Coverage** For Shopify Plus, the most robust way to manage `hreflang` across thousands of pages is to use **Liquid** within your theme files. This ensures your tags are dynamically generated and self-referential (`self-referencing canonical`). ### **Step 1: The Core Tag Logic (in** `**theme.liquid**`**)** Every international market must be declared in the `` section of your `theme.liquid` file. You must loop through your markets to generate the required tags. The basic structure relies on Liquid objects like `request.host` and `all_domains` (or a similar construct based on your theme’s specific Liquid variables for international domains): ```liquid {% comment %} 1. Loop through all markets and languages {% endcomment %} {% for market in shop.markets %} {% for language in market.languages %} {% comment %} 2. Use the 'hreflang' attribute to define locale {% endcomment %} {% endfor %} {% endfor %} {% comment %} 3. The essential X\-Default Fallback Tag {% endcomment %} ``` ### **Step 2: Addressing Specific Page Types** Shopify automatically generates language- and country-specific URLs for core resources like **pages, collections, blogs, and articles**. Your Liquid code must ensure these specific path equivalents are linked correctly. **Resource Type** **Relevant Liquid Variable** **Hreflang Focus** **Product Pages** `product.url` Must correctly match the **variant URL** if different regions have different pricing/variants. **Collection Pages** `collection.url` Must match the **equivalent collection** across all markets. **Articles/Blogs** `article.url` Must match the **translated or localized article** in each market. **The** `**x-default**` **Fallback Tag:** This is the most crucial tag for enterprise sites. It tells Google which URL is the default or global choice when no other market/language tag matches the user's settings. It should usually point to your primary domain's generic URL (e.g., `shop.com`). ## **4\. The Advanced Tooling Stack for Plus Merchants** Relying on a single Shopify app for enterprise `hreflang` is risky, as they often create redundant or incomplete tags. We recommend the app [GWA: Hreflang Manager](../../platforms/hreflang-manager) to manage any multi-store setups, but this will not work when using Shopify Markets. ### **Option 1: The Code-First Approach (Recommended)** This is the most scalable, durable solution for Plus: 1. **Manual Liquid Implementation:** Use your in-house or agency development team to implement the Liquid logic described above. 2. **Screaming Frog/Ahrefs:** Use a robust crawler to analyze your site structure, extracting the generated `hreflang` tags on a sample of thousands of pages. This is the only way to check for **return tag errors** (where a linked page doesn't link back correctly). 3. **Google Search Console (GSC):** Monitor the **Sitemaps** and **International Targeting** reports. This is Google’s definitive view of your `hreflang` status. ### **Option 2: Using the App (with Caution)** If you opt for an app like [GWA: Hreflang Manager](../../platforms/hreflang-manager), ensure it addresses your key pain points: **Enterprise Pain Point** **App Requirement** **Multi-Domain Support** The app must properly link `domain-A` to `domain-B` and back, not just sub-folders. **Conflict Resolution** It must automatically **detect and remove** the default, often conflicting, `hreflang` tags generated by your Shopify theme. **Sitemap Integration** It should automatically update your sitemaps to include all linked language/country URLs. ## **5\. Troubleshooting: Common Hreflang Fatal Errors** The biggest mistakes in `hreflang` implementation can lead to severe indexation issues: 1. **Missing or Incorrect Return Tags:** The **most common error.** If Page A links to Page B, Page B _must_ link back to Page A. Without this two-way link, Google ignores the entire set of tags. 2. **Incorrect Language or Country Codes:** Using codes that don't conform to the **ISO 639-1** (language) and **ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2** (country) standards. For instance, using `en-gb` (correct) instead of `en-uk` (incorrect). 3. **Linking to Non-Canonical URLs:** The `hreflang` tag must point to the **canonical URL** for that page. Linking to a non-canonical, duplicated, or parameter-heavy URL will cause the tag to fail. 4. **No** `**x-default**` **Tag:** Forgetting the `x-default` tag leaves Google without a fallback option, resulting in a less accurate page served to users not explicitly targeted by one of your defined markets. By moving beyond Shopify's basic automation and implementing a controlled, testable Liquid strategy, Shopify Plus merchants can successfully navigate the complexity of global indexing and ensure their international stores capture all available organic traffic. ### Shopify Increases Product Variant Limit to 2,048 URL: https://newsiteagency.com/blog/2048-variants Published: 2025-10-20 Shopify now supports 2,048 product variants, up from 100. A major update for complex catalogues, improving scale, speed, and conversion. Shopify has officially raised the product variant limit from 100 to 2,048, marking one of the most significant infrastructure upgrades in the platform’s history. For merchants with large or complex catalogues, this change unlocks entirely new possibilities for merchandising, personalisation, and product management—without extra apps or workarounds. ## A Game-Changer for Complex Catalogues Until now, Shopify’s 100-variant limit forced merchants to split products across multiple listings or use third-party integrations to manage complexity. This update eliminates that friction. With support for 2,048 variants per product, brands can now manage large assortments—such as apparel with many sizes and colours, or furniture with multiple finishes and dimensions—within a single product page. This creates a cleaner experience for both the merchant and the customer, improving product discoverability and SEO by consolidating all variations under one canonical URL. ## Why It Matters for Merchants ### 1. Better Conversion through Choice Customers expect to see every possible option before purchasing. Whether it’s a specific shade, material, or size, more variants mean fewer missed sales opportunities. ### 2. Simplified Management Everything inside Shopify Admin remains the same—just more powerful. You can continue using the familiar workflow in the Products section to add variants up to the new limit. ### 3. Faster Performance Shopify re-engineered its data model and GraphQL Admin API to support this increase. The result: products load and save faster, even at full variant capacity. ### 4. Optimised for SEO Having all variants on a single product page means stronger search performance. All your ad spend, backlinks, and organic authority now point to one product URL, maximising your ranking potential. ## Built for Scale, Ready for Growth Shopify’s new variant architecture was developed alongside more than 6,500 app partners, ensuring compatibility across the ecosystem. This collaboration future-proofs the platform for merchants of all sizes—from startups to enterprise brands running on Shopify Plus. As Shopify continues to evolve, this update sets the stage for more flexible catalogues, richer personalisation, and smoother integrations across sales channels. ## What You Can Do Next If you’re managing a complex catalogue or planning a Shopify migration, now’s the time to rethink your product structure.

This update is a game-changer for industries such as: - **Fruit and vegetable stores** - **Nut bars and bulk-food retailers** - **Delicatessens and butchers** - **Coffee roasters and tea merchants** - **Cosmetic and health product brands** For the first time, these businesses can **display transparent unit pricing directly in Shopify** without custom code or third-party apps. ## **Why This Matters** Until now, Shopify users who sold by weight or volume often had to build **custom solutions** or use complex workarounds to show prices like “$30/kg” or “$5/100g.” At **New Site Agency**, we’ve helped several clients develop tailored unit-price displays — especially food retailers and grocery stores like [**Fresh Connection**](http://www.freshconnection.com.au/) — but these custom builds were time-consuming to maintain and prone to data mismatches when prices or weights changed. Now, this functionality is **natively supported**, meaning: - Less maintenance - More accurate pricing displays - Full compliance with regional regulations - Dynamic updates across product pages, carts, and checkout ## **How It Works** You can now set a **total measure** (for example, 500g) and a **base measure** (such as 1kg), and Shopify will automatically calculate and display your price per unit. For example: - $30 for 600g coffee beans - Base unit: 1kg - Displayed automatically as **$50.00/kg** Shopify also ensures this data syncs everywhere — on your **product pages, collections, carts, checkout, and even order confirmation emails**. ## **What This Means for Retailers** This update significantly lowers the barrier for small and medium-sized food businesses to **go online legally and competitively**. In many countries (including Australia, the UK, and across the EU), displaying a **price per unit** is a **legal requirement** for grocery and food retailers. Now, these businesses can launch online stores faster without worrying about compliance issues or costly custom development. ## **Built-In. Automatic. Global.** All **Online Store 2.0 themes** now display unit prices automatically. If you’re still using a vintage theme, it’s worth upgrading — or we can help update your Liquid code to support unit pricing. This feature also integrates cleanly with bulk import tools like CSV uploads and Shopify’s bulk editor, making it easy to roll out unit prices across large product catalogues. ## **Need Help Setting It Up?** At **New Site Agency**, we help merchants migrate, optimise, and grow on Shopify. If you sell products by **weight, volume, or quantity**, we can help you configure unit pricing correctly, ensure your site stays compliant, and make your pricing clear and competitive. [Contact us](https://newsiteagency.com/contact) to set up unit pricing for your Shopify store. **Sources:** - [Shopify Changelog – Unit Pricing Global Launch](https://changelog.shopify.com/posts/unit-pricing-is-now-available-globally) - [Shopify Help Centre – Unit Pricing](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/details/product-pricing/unit-pricing) ### Shopify Payments vs Adyen Payments: The Complete 2025 Comparison URL: https://newsiteagency.com/blog/shopify-payments-vs-adyen-payments Published: 2025-09-29 Compare Shopify Payments and Adyen for enterprise stores.

See real examples from Melbourne cafés and Amsterdam bike rentals. In today’s digital-first world, potential customers rely on Google more than ever to find and connect with local businesses. According to SEO Tribunal, **97% of people learn more about a business online than anywhere else**, and **84% of Google users perform local searches regularly**. If you are a café owner in Melbourne or a bicycle rental shop in Amsterdam, one tool stands above the rest for driving visibility and credibility: **Google My Business (now officially called Google Business Profile).** Here is why optimising your profile can be a powerful driver of growth, visibility, and customer trust. ## Download: Google Business Profile Setup Guide Want a practical starting point for setting up or improving your profile? Download the Google Business Profile Setup Guide (PDF), then upload it to an LLM with access to current web information. Give the model your business website, location, service area and contact details, and ask it to turn the guide into a field-by-field Google Business Profile setup plan for your business. A useful prompt is: > Use this PDF as a planning template. Ask me for any missing business details, research my website and current local competitors, then recommend what to configure in my Google Business Profile. Verify categories, attributes and policy-sensitive advice against current Google guidance before giving me the final plan. Treat the output as a draft. Check every recommendation against the current [Google Business Profile guidelines](https://support.google.com/business/) before publishing changes. Never add false locations, services, attributes or keywords to the business name. The setup framework is based on guidance shared by [Jono Catliff on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@jonocatliff). ## 1\. Drives Visibility in the Highly Coveted Local “Map Pack” When users search with local intent such as _“coffee near me”_ or _“bike rental Amsterdam”_, Google often displays a **local map pack** featuring three businesses at the top of results. These listings are powered entirely by Google Business Profiles. If your profile is missing, incomplete, or poorly optimised, you will struggle to appear in this valuable section. **Pro Tip:** Claim your profile, verify your business, and fully complete every section to maximise your chances of showing up. ## 2\. Establishes Trust and Credibility at a Glance Your Business Profile is often the first impression potential customers have of you. It brings together: - Your **name, address, and phone number (NAP)** - Business **hours and website** - **Customer reviews and ratings** - **Photos and videos** of your products or space A polished profile signals **credibility and reliability**. According to Hostinger’s local SEO guide, **rich, accurate details not only help Google categorise your business but also encourage customers to click through and engage**. ## 3\. Boosts Local SEO and Ranking Factors Local SEO is about more than just your website, it is about your **entire digital presence**. In fact, according to Moz, **Google Business Profile optimisation is the single most important ranking factor for appearing in the local pack**. Other factors that strengthen your rankings include: - Positive **customer reviews** and responses - Strong **on-page optimisation** (local keywords, structured data) - High-quality **backlinks from local sources** - **Consistent citations** across directories - Behavioural signals such as calls, clicks, and requests for directions By nurturing your Google Business Profile, you send **powerful trust signals** to both customers and search engines. ## 4\. Offers Real-Time Insights and Performance Tracking One of the most valuable features of Google Business Profiles is the **built-in insights dashboard**. You can track: - Total profile **views** - Search **queries** used to find your business - Customer **actions** (calls, clicks, direction requests) - Where traffic is coming from Tools like **Databox** can integrate this data to provide more advanced analytics. These insights help you identify what is working and where you can improve. ## 5\. A Primary Channel for Local Business Growth Local business experts consistently rank **Google Business Profiles as the second most important digital channel** after your own website (Databox). That means your profile is not simply an add-on. It is a **core driver of new customers, local SEO performance, and long-term business success**. ## City Spotlight: Melbourne Example Imagine you own a café in Melbourne. Here is how to optimise your profile: - **Profile setup:** Claim and verify your profile, ensuring NAP details are accurate. - **Categories:** Add specific ones such as _“Café”_ and _“Coffee shop.”_ - **Visual appeal:** Upload high-quality photos of your storefront, latte art, and bustling interior. - **Customer reviews:** Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews and respond promptly. - **Local SEO alignment:** Optimise your website with keywords such as _“best Melbourne café”_ and make sure your footer NAP matches your Google listing. - **Track performance:** Use analytics tools to monitor views, calls, and direction requests. This approach increases both **visibility and trust** in a competitive market. ## City Spotlight: Amsterdam Example Now picture running a **bicycle rental shop in Amsterdam**. Here is what works: - **Complete your profile:** Use accurate NAP details, mark your category (_“Bike rental”_), and add opening hours. - **Photo strategy:** Showcase your shop exterior, smiling tourists, and colourful bicycles. - **Multilingual reviews:** Ask customers to leave reviews in both **Dutch and English** for wider appeal. - **Local citations:** Get listed in city directories and tour guide websites for credibility. - **Track insights:** Review monthly data to spot peak tourist demand times. For tourist-heavy cities like Amsterdam, these steps can directly translate into **increased foot traffic and bookings**. ## FAQs about Google My Business **1\.

Our step-by-step guide helps you rank higher, attract traffic, and boost sales. Search engines account for a huge share of online traffic. If you're running a Shopify store and relying only on paid ads or social media, you're missing long-term opportunities for growth. Strong SEO makes your products more discoverable, builds customer trust, and keeps acquisition costs down. Here’s how to build a strong SEO foundation on Shopify that drives sustainable traffic and conversions. ## 1\. Get Your Site Structure Right A well-organised site structure is essential for both user experience and search engine visibility. It helps Google understand your content and makes it easier for shoppers to find what they need. Start by linking your homepage to key product collections, then link each collection to the relevant products. Keep things simple and intuitive—avoid burying pages too deep within your site. All major pages (like collections, products, blog posts, and contact information) should be accessible within three clicks from the homepage. Use clear, keyword-rich names for collections and keep your URLs clean and readable. For example, use “/collections/running-shoes” instead of long or cryptic URL strings. ## 2\. Optimise Product and Collection Pages Your product and collection pages are where conversions happen—and where SEO can make a big impact. Focus on: - **Page Titles**: Include your primary keyword, product name, and brand. - **Meta Descriptions**: Write compelling, 160-character descriptions that encourage clicks. - **Headings (H1s)**: Use one clear, descriptive H1 per page. - **Image Alt Text**: Describe your images accurately to support SEO and accessibility. - **Internal Links**: Link to related products, blog content, or support pages where relevant. Good on-page optimisation not only helps you rank, but also builds buyer confidence. ## 3\. Improve Site Speed Site speed affects both rankings and user experience. Shopify themes can sometimes load unnecessary features or apps, which slow down your store. Quick wins: - Remove unused or heavy apps - Compress images (use WebP format when possible) - Enable lazy loading for media - Minimise custom code and avoid autoplay videos above the fold Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to monitor and improve load times. ## 4\. Use Blog Content to Capture Long-Tail Traffic Blogging isn’t just for storytelling—it’s a powerful SEO tool. Target long-tail keywords and answer specific customer questions. Ideas to start with: - Product comparisons (e.g. "Best trail shoes for beginners") - How-to guides and styling tips - FAQs and care instructions - Seasonal or trend-based content Make each post useful, well-formatted, and focused on one or two main keywords. ## 5\. Choose Shopify SEO Apps Wisely Not all SEO apps are created equal. Some help streamline your setup, while others can slow things down. Focus on apps that add structured data, automate image alt text, or support your keyword strategy. Recommended apps: - **Search & Discovery** (Shopify): Improves internal navigation - **JSON-LD for SEO**: Adds schema markup to product pages - **Plug In SEO**: Basic checks for titles, descriptions, and broken links Avoid overly bloated apps that offer too many features in one package. ## 6\. Track and Measure SEO Performance You can’t improve what you don’t track. Set up the right tools to monitor your rankings, clicks, and conversion rates. Tools to use: - **Google Search Console**: See which keywords drive traffic - **Google Analytics 4**: Track bounce rate, user flow, and conversions - **Shopify Analytics**: Review sales performance and traffic sources - **Ahrefs or SEMrush**: For deeper keyword and competitor insights Set benchmarks, track changes, and look for new optimisation opportunities over time. ## Want Help with Your Shopify SEO?

Businesses use Google Ads to run targeted search campaigns, retarget visitors with display ads, and drive awareness with YouTube campaigns. Google Ads is the world’s leading digital advertising platform, enabling businesses to reach customers across search, display, shopping, and YouTube. It provides precise targeting, flexible budgeting, and powerful analytics to drive measurable results. From startups to global enterprises, Google Ads helps businesses increase visibility and acquire new customers. ### LinkedIn Ads URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/linkedin-ads Category: Ads B2B advertising platform targeting professionals and businesses. Brands use LinkedIn Ads to drive B2B lead generation, recruit specialised professionals, and promote webinars and thought leadership content. LinkedIn Ads is the leading B2B advertising platform, connecting businesses with professionals by job title, industry, and company size. It provides ad formats like sponsored content, text ads, and InMail to engage audiences with high intent. LinkedIn Ads is essential for companies looking to generate leads, recruit talent, and grow their professional brand. ### Meta Ads Manager URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/meta-ads-manager Category: Ads Facebook & Instagram ad management for growth and acquisition. Companies use Meta Ads Manager to run Instagram product launch campaigns, retarget abandoned carts on Facebook, and test creative variations to optimise ad performance. Meta Ads Manager powers campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Meta Audience Network. It offers advanced targeting, conversion tracking, and audience insights, making it one of the most versatile platforms for performance marketing and brand building. From small businesses to global brands, Meta Ads Manager helps reach the right audience with precision. ### ChatGPT URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/chatgpt Category: AI AI workspace for research, analysis, writing and day-to-day business work. We use ChatGPT for structured research, content planning, data analysis, internal knowledge workflows and carefully reviewed business automation. ChatGPT can support far more than one-off prompts. Used well, it becomes a practical workspace for researching a topic, making sense of documents, shaping content and helping a team move through repeatable knowledge work. ## Where it adds value The strongest implementations start with a real operational problem. That might be preparing a first-pass brief from approved source material, comparing information across documents, organising meeting notes or helping a team work through a consistent review process. We map the task, decide what context the system is allowed to use and make the points of human review explicit. This keeps the workflow useful without treating an AI response as an unquestioned final answer. ## A considered implementation Good AI adoption is less about adding another chat window and more about improving a specific part of the way a team works. We focus on clear instructions, reliable source material, sensible permissions and outputs that fit into the tools people already use. ### Claude Code URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/claude-code Category: AI Anthropic coding agent for understanding codebases and delivering multi-file changes. We use Claude Code for codebase investigation, feature work, refactoring, debugging, test coverage and technical documentation. Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool for working directly with a software project. It can inspect a codebase, follow dependencies across files, make changes and run the commands a team already uses to develop and verify its product. ## Best used with real project context Claude Code is useful when the answer depends on more than a single snippet. That includes understanding an unfamiliar feature, diagnosing a bug across several layers, carrying out a refactor or implementing a change that touches content, components and tests together. We give the agent a defined task, the project's own conventions and an explicit verification path. That makes the output easier to review and reduces the risk of a locally correct change causing an issue elsewhere. ## A tool within the engineering process Claude Code can accelerate investigation and execution, but product decisions and final accountability still sit with the team. We treat it as part of a disciplined development workflow rather than a substitute for architecture, review or testing. ### Codex URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/codex Category: AI OpenAI coding agent for building, reviewing and maintaining software. We use Codex for repository analysis, feature implementation, code review, testing, documentation and repeatable engineering maintenance. Codex is an OpenAI coding agent that can work across a software repository, make changes and use development tools to check its work. It is particularly useful when a task needs more than a code suggestion and requires an understanding of how several files or systems fit together. ## Where it fits We use Codex for clearly bounded engineering work: tracing an unfamiliar implementation, preparing a change, fixing a regression, improving tests or carrying out routine maintenance. The agent is most effective when it receives the same things a developer would need—good context, acceptance criteria and a clear definition of done. ## Working with appropriate checks Agentic development does not remove the need for engineering judgement. Changes should still be reviewed, tested and assessed against the wider product. We pair Codex with repository instructions and verification steps so that speed does not come at the expense of maintainability. ## Useful beyond the first build The ongoing value is often in the less glamorous work: documentation, dependency updates, small fixes and keeping a codebase consistent as it grows. That makes Codex relevant to both new projects and established digital platforms. ### Shopify Flow URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/shopify-flow Category: Automation Automation tool to build workflows for Shopify stores. Merchants use Shopify Flow to automatically tag high-value customers, flag high-risk orders, and send low-inventory alerts. Shopify Flow is an automation app that streamlines repetitive store management tasks. It allows merchants to create workflows without coding, automating everything from tagging customers to updating inventory. Shopify Flow reduces manual work, prevents errors, and helps stores scale efficiently. ### Bold Bundles URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/bold-bundles Category: Bundles Shopify app for mix-and-match product bundles and discounts. Stores use Bold Bundles to offer ‘Buy 2 Get 1 Free’ deals, create mix-and-match product packs, and run promotional discounts. Bold Bundles is an advanced bundling app that enables flexible promotions like mix-and-match, buy-one-get-one, or tiered discounts. It provides greater customisation than Shopify Bundles and is suited for stores with more complex sales strategies. Bold Bundles helps increase conversions and upsell opportunities. ### Bold Discounts URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/bold-discounts Category: Bundles Promotion automation for scheduled Shopify sales and product-level discounts. We use Bold Discounts when Shopify merchants need scheduled sales, product or collection discount groups, compare-at pricing and promotion tools that reduce manual catalogue updates. Bold Discounts is built for Shopify teams that need to run catalogue-wide promotions without changing every product by hand. Merchants can group products, collections or the full store into a promotion, choose a percentage or fixed reduction, and control when the sale begins and ends. ## Plan promotions before launch day The app is useful when a campaign involves more than a single checkout code. It can adjust the active product price, preserve the original value as the compare-at price and return pricing when the promotion finishes. That makes it practical for seasonal sales, collection launches, clearance events and daily deals. We still plan the rules before activating a campaign. Product selection, overlapping offers, existing compare-at values, sales-channel behaviour and reporting all need to be checked so customers receive the intended price and the merchandising remains clear. ## Build a dependable campaign workflow Our work can include promotion setup, theme presentation, analytics events, conversion tracking and pre-launch testing. We document how products enter a discount group, who approves the offer, how the campaign is checked across devices and what happens when it ends. For teams running regular promotions, this operating process matters as much as the app itself. A repeatable workflow reduces rushed catalogue edits, protects pricing accuracy and gives marketing teams more confidence when campaigns go live. ### Shopify Bundles URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/shopify-bundles Category: Bundles Native Shopify app for creating simple product bundles. Businesses use Shopify Bundles to create holiday packs, bundle bestsellers with add-ons, and encourage bulk purchases. Shopify Bundles is a native app that allows merchants to create simple product bundles. It helps increase average order value by encouraging customers to purchase multiple items together. Easy to set up and manage, it’s ideal for promotions and seasonal campaigns. ### Shopify Checkout Blocks URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/shopify-checkout-blocks Category: Checkout App for adding custom blocks and features to Shopify Checkout. We use Checkout Blocks on eligible Shopify stores to add conditional information, capture required details, adjust permitted line-item controls, and keep checkout presentation aligned with the wider brand. Every block is tested against checkout steps, markets, customer states and accelerated payment routes. Shopify Checkout Blocks is Shopify’s own app for configuring supported checkout UI extensions and presentation rules. It gives eligible merchants a governed way to add information or collect inputs without editing the underlying checkout code. ## Useful, restrained checkout changes Typical uses include delivery or policy guidance, gift information, business-order fields, required acknowledgements and messages that only appear for a particular market, product or customer condition. Some blocks can also expose permitted line-item controls. The strongest implementations remove uncertainty at the point of purchase rather than filling checkout with more marketing. ## Plan for Shopify’s boundaries Checkout capabilities vary by plan and surface, and Shopify continues to govern which areas can be extended. We confirm eligibility before promising a layout, then test standard checkout, Shop Pay or other accelerated paths, mobile screens, translated content, discounts and relevant markets. Information collected in checkout also needs a defined destination: an order field is only useful when fulfilment or support teams can reliably find and act on it. ### Cin7 URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/cin7 Category: Data Inventory and order management software with POS integration.

It reduces operational complexity by consolidating stock and order workflows. Cin7 is ideal for multi-channel retail and wholesale. ### Matrixify URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/matrixify Category: Data Bulk data management app for Shopify imports, exports, and migrations. We use Matrixify for controlled Shopify exports, catalogue and content imports, migration rehearsals, backups, redirects, metafields, metaobjects, translations, and bulk corrections. Jobs are validated on a small sample before a full store operation. Matrixify is a specialist import and export application for Shopify. It works with spreadsheet-friendly files and scheduled data jobs, making it useful when a catalogue or migration is too large, repetitive or interconnected for manual editing. ## More than a product importer Depending on the job, Matrixify can handle products, collections, customers, orders, pages, blog posts, redirects, files, menus, metafields, metaobjects and translations. That range is valuable during a replatform because content and SEO data need the same care as products. It is also useful after launch for controlled bulk corrections and recurring exports. ## Treat every import as a data change The safe approach is deliberately unglamorous: export first, preserve identifiers, test a small batch, inspect warnings and keep the result file. Source columns and values should be mapped before a full run, especially when variants, handles, relationships or regional content are involved. Matrixify executes the operation efficiently; it cannot decide whether the source data is coherent or whether another connected system will overwrite it later. ### AfterShip URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/aftership Category: Delivery Post-purchase tracking and returns solution for e-commerce. Merchants use AfterShip for branded tracking pages, automated delivery updates, and customer returns. AfterShip provides branded order tracking and returns solutions for e-commerce stores. It improves customer trust by sending updates during delivery, reducing support inquiries, and enhancing the post-purchase experience. ### Sendcloud URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/sendcloud Category: Delivery Shipping automation platform for labels, tracking, and returns. Stores use Sendcloud to print labels, integrate carriers, and manage returns at scale. Sendcloud is a shipping automation platform that connects online stores with multiple carriers. It streamlines logistics by automating label printing, returns, and tracking, saving time and improving efficiency for merchants. ### Zapiet URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/zapiet Category: Delivery Advanced store pickup, delivery, and scheduling app for Shopify. Merchants use Zapiet for in-store pickup, local delivery, and same-day courier services. Zapiet is a Shopify app for advanced pickup, delivery, and scheduling. It bridges online and offline commerce by enabling flexible fulfilment options. Zapiet supports local pickup, same-day delivery, and scheduled orders, making it easier for businesses to provide omnichannel shopping experiences. ### Bynder URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/bynder Category: Design Digital asset management (DAM) platform for storing, sharing, and branding. Marketing teams use Bynder to centralise assets, streamline workflows, and manage brand guidelines. Bynder is a digital asset management (DAM) platform that helps businesses store, organise, and share creative assets. It ensures brand consistency, speeds up content creation, and integrates with marketing tools. ### Canva URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/canva Category: Design Simple design platform for quick graphics and content creation. Teams use Canva for social graphics, pitch decks, and branded templates. Canva is a graphic design tool that empowers non-designers to create professional visuals. With templates and drag-and-drop editing, it simplifies design for social media, presentations, and marketing collateral. ### Figma URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/figma Category: Design Collaborative design and prototyping tool. We use Figma for page flows, wireframes, interface design, prototypes, shared components, responsive states, and developer handover. It gives clients, designers, writers, and developers one place to review decisions before those decisions become production code. Figma is the working space where a website can be understood before it is built. It supports interface design, collaborative review and interactive prototypes, but its real value comes from making decisions visible: content hierarchy, responsive behaviour, reusable components and the states a user will encounter. ## From concept to build We normally begin with page structure and representative content rather than polishing every screen immediately. Once the direction is sound, shared components and variants keep repeated patterns consistent. Prototypes are used where an interaction, transition or journey would be ambiguous in a static layout. ## A handover is more than a link Dev Mode can expose measurements, styles, assets and component information, but a reliable handover also needs context. We mark approved work, describe edge cases and confirm how designs behave between breakpoints. The design file should complement the codebase, not pretend to be it. Content changes, browser behaviour and accessibility checks still have to be handled in the working site. ### Miro URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/miro Category: Design Online whiteboard for team workshops, planning, and ideation. Teams use Miro to run workshops, map customer journeys, and plan projects collaboratively. Miro is an online whiteboard platform that helps teams collaborate visually. It is ideal for brainstorming, sprint planning, workshops, and strategy sessions. Miro’s templates and integrations make it easy to adopt at scale. ### Astro URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/astro Category: Development Web framework for fast, content-driven websites with minimal client-side JavaScript. We use Astro for marketing sites, content hubs, blogs and e-commerce experiences where performance, structured content and technical SEO matter. Astro is designed around content-rich websites. It renders lightweight HTML by default and lets a project add browser-side JavaScript only where an interaction actually needs it. That makes it a strong fit for sites where speed, search visibility and straightforward content management are central to the brief. ## Content with structure We use Astro's content collections to give pages, articles, case studies and platform records a consistent schema. Editors get predictable fields, while the build can validate required information before a change reaches production. ## Interactivity without unnecessary weight Not every section of a website needs to behave like an application. Astro's component model allows us to keep most of a page simple while adding focused interactive elements—such as filters, search or forms—where they improve the experience. ## A practical foundation for growth Astro works well for websites that need many repeatable page types, localised routes and careful metadata. Its routing and build system make it possible to maintain those concerns centrally rather than solving them again on every page. ### Tailwind CSS URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/tailwind Category: Development Utility-first CSS framework for building responsive, consistent interfaces. We use Tailwind CSS to translate design systems into responsive components with consistent spacing, typography, colour and interaction states. Tailwind CSS is a low-level styling framework built around small, composable utility classes. Rather than imposing a ready-made visual style, it gives a team a consistent vocabulary for spacing, typography, colour, layout and responsive behaviour. ## From design system to interface We configure Tailwind around the project's design tokens instead of relying on arbitrary values throughout the codebase. This makes repeated patterns easier to recognise and keeps new components aligned with the established visual system. ## Responsive by construction Responsive rules sit alongside the component they affect, which makes it easier to understand how an interface changes across breakpoints. We still test real layouts at representative widths, particularly where navigation, data and long-form content compete for space. ## Consistency without sameness Tailwind does not require every site to look alike. The framework supplies the implementation language; the brand direction still comes from the design. Used carefully, it speeds up delivery while preserving custom typography, proportion, motion and interaction details. ### Vercel URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/vercel Category: Development Cloud platform for deploying, previewing and operating modern web applications. We use Vercel for automated deployments, review environments, domain management, serverless workloads, analytics and production observability. Vercel gives product and engineering teams a clear path from a code change to a reviewable preview and then to production. It combines deployment infrastructure with the practical tools needed to manage domains, environments, runtime configuration and application behaviour. ## A better review workflow One of Vercel's most useful features is the preview deployment. A proposed change can have its own URL, allowing stakeholders to review the real experience before it is merged. This is especially valuable for visual changes, content updates and integrations that are difficult to assess from screenshots alone. ## From repository to production We connect the deployment process to the project's source repository so changes follow a consistent path through build and review. Environment variables and production domains remain separate from preview settings, reducing the chance of a test configuration leaking into the live site. ## Ongoing operation Hosting is only part of the job. We also use Vercel's logs, analytics and deployment history to investigate problems, understand releases and roll back safely when needed. The result is a workflow that supports both fast delivery and accountable production changes. ### Shopify URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/shopify Category: Ecommerce Leading e-commerce platform for building scalable online stores. Merchants use Shopify to launch online stores, integrate with marketplaces, and expand internationally. Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform that allows businesses to build and manage online stores with ease. It provides built-in payments, integrations, and apps to support businesses of all sizes.

Enterprises use Shopify Plus to manage multi-region storefronts, automate workflows, and scale globally. Shopify Plus is the enterprise-grade version of Shopify, built for high-volume brands. It offers advanced APIs, checkout customisation, and tools for managing multiple regions. Shopify Plus is trusted by global companies to scale efficiently. ### Klaviyo URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/klaviyo Category: Email Marketing E-commerce email marketing and automation platform. We use Klaviyo to connect Shopify customer and order data with consented email and SMS journeys. Typical work includes list hygiene, signup forms, welcome and post-purchase flows, replenishment or win-back logic, campaign templates, segmentation, and revenue reporting. Klaviyo is a lifecycle marketing platform built around customer profiles, behavioural events and commerce data. It can coordinate email, SMS and mobile messaging, but its value comes from the quality of the data and the relevance of the journeys—not the number of automations switched on. ## Build around customer moments We map the moments where communication is useful: joining a list, considering a product, abandoning a checkout, receiving an order, returning to buy again or becoming inactive. Each flow needs a clear entrance rule, exclusions, message sequence and success measure. Campaigns then complement those journeys rather than repeatedly addressing the whole database. ## Protect deliverability and trust Sending volume is not the goal. Consent, suppression, frequency, domain authentication and inactive-profile handling all affect deliverability. We also test Shopify events, catalogue data, discount logic and dynamic content before a flow goes live. Regular reviews should remove outdated offers, check broken links and confirm that segmentation still matches the commercial plan. ### Mailchimp URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/mailchimp Category: Email Marketing Email marketing platform for campaigns, newsletters, and automations. Small businesses use Mailchimp to send newsletters, automate campaigns, and manage subscriber lists. Mailchimp is an email marketing platform offering automation, templates, and audience management tools. It’s beginner-friendly while supporting advanced campaigns for larger businesses.

It supports automation for cart recovery, product recommendations, and omnichannel messaging.

Merchants use OrderlyEmails to customise order confirmations, shipping emails, and customer notifications. OrderlyEmails is a Shopify app for creating and customising email templates. It helps brands design professional, on-brand transactional emails such as order confirmations, shipping updates, and receipts. By improving design consistency, it enhances the post-purchase customer experience. ### SendGrid URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/sendgrid Category: Email Marketing Email delivery platform for transactional and marketing messages. Companies use SendGrid to send transactional emails, deliver marketing campaigns, and ensure inbox deliverability. SendGrid is a cloud-based platform for transactional and marketing emails. It ensures reliable deliverability, scalability, and advanced analytics, making it suitable for businesses with high email volumes. ### Avalara URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/avalara Category: Finance Automated tax compliance and calculation platform for global businesses. Businesses use Avalara to automate tax compliance, manage international filings, and reduce manual errors. Avalara is a tax automation platform that calculates rates, manages compliance, and files returns.

Merchants use Shopify Translate & Adapt to add translations, customise regional messaging, and expand globally. Shopify Translate & Adapt is a localisation app that helps merchants manage translations and adapt content for international markets. It ensures customers see the right language and messaging based on their location. ### LoyaltyLion URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/loyaltylion Category: Loyalty Loyalty platform that drives retention with personalised rewards. Brands use LoyaltyLion to increase customer lifetime value, reward repeat purchases, and track retention performance. LoyaltyLion is a loyalty and retention platform built for e-commerce brands. It provides customisable rewards, analytics, and integrations to help businesses build long-term customer relationships. ### Smile.io URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/smile-io Category: Loyalty Shopify loyalty app for rewards, referrals, and VIP programs. Merchants use Smile.io to launch loyalty points systems, referral programs, and tiered VIP rewards. Smile.io is a loyalty app that enables merchants to create rewards, referrals, and VIP programs. It helps increase retention by rewarding repeat purchases and customer engagement. ### Adyen URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/adyen Category: Payments Global payment platform for enterprise merchants with unified commerce. Enterprises use Adyen to unify global payments, expand into new regions, and reduce fraud risk. Adyen is an enterprise payment platform that unifies online, mobile, and in-store payments. It includes advanced fraud protection and global reporting, making it ideal for companies operating at scale. ### PayPal URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/paypal Category: Payments Widely used digital wallet and payment solution. Merchants use PayPal to provide a trusted checkout option and sell internationally. PayPal is a globally recognised payment platform trusted by millions of consumers. It supports online checkout, peer-to-peer payments, and mobile transactions. PayPal offers buyer protection and simple integrations for businesses. ### Stripe URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/stripe Category: Payments Online payments infrastructure for businesses. We use Stripe for one-off and recurring payments, invoices, hosted or embedded checkout, customer billing management, marketplace payment flows, and integration with custom applications. The exact product mix is chosen around the business model and compliance responsibilities. Stripe is payment infrastructure for websites, applications, subscriptions and platforms. Its APIs and hosted components can support a straightforward card payment as well as recurring billing, invoicing, customer portals and more complex multi-party money movement. ## Choose the smallest suitable integration For many projects, Stripe Checkout or Payment Links provide a secure, maintained payment experience with less custom code. Elements and direct APIs offer more interface control when the product genuinely needs it. Stripe Billing adds subscription schedules, invoices, retries and proration, while the customer portal can cover common self-service tasks. ## Payments are an operational system A successful charge is only one part of the journey. We plan webhooks, order or entitlement creation, refunds, disputes, failed payments, customer emails, tax treatment and reconciliation before launch. Test mode must cover success and failure paths, including delayed or duplicated events. Currency availability, payment methods and account requirements also vary by country and business model, so the final configuration is confirmed against the merchant’s Stripe account rather than assumed from a generic design. ### LimeSpot URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/limespot Category: Personalisation Personalisation app for AI-powered product recommendations. Stores use LimeSpot to upsell products, create bundles, and personalise shopping experiences. LimeSpot is a Shopify personalisation app that uses AI to recommend products and upsells. It helps increase average order value by showing customers relevant items at the right time. ### Nosto URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/nosto Category: Personalisation Personalisation platform for product recommendations and content targeting. Merchants use Nosto for personalised product recommendations, landing pages, and targeted offers. Nosto is a personalisation platform that delivers AI-driven recommendations, dynamic content, and targeted experiences. It helps e-commerce brands boost conversions and customer engagement. ### Jotform URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/jotform Category: Productivity Online form builder with advanced logic and integrations. Businesses use Jotform to collect leads, register event attendees, and process customer feedback surveys. Jotform is an online form builder that enables businesses to create custom forms for lead capture, registrations, and surveys. With advanced logic, integrations, and branding options, it simplifies data collection and automation. ### Notion URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/notion Category: Productivity All-in-one workspace for docs, wikis, and project collaboration. Teams use Notion to document processes, manage projects, and organise company knowledge. Notion is a flexible all-in-one workspace that combines notes, documents, project management, and collaboration. It’s highly customisable and used by individuals and teams to centralise workflows. ### Zapier URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/zapier Category: Productivity Automation platform connecting thousands of apps. Businesses use Zapier to automate lead transfers, sync data across apps, and create custom workflows. Zapier is an automation platform that connects apps and automates workflows without coding. It reduces manual work by integrating thousands of applications across industries. ### Loop Returns URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/loop-returns Category: Returns Returns and exchanges platform integrated with Shopify. We use Loop to translate a retailer's returns policy into a self-service journey with clear eligibility rules, exchange options, shipping steps, notifications, and operational hand-offs. The implementation is tested against real order and exception scenarios before launch. Loop is a returns and exchanges platform for Shopify retailers. It gives customers a guided, branded portal while giving the operations team a structured way to apply policy rules, route outcomes and connect the return with shipping, warehouse and support processes. ## Design the policy before the portal The customer experience is only as clear as the policy behind it. We document return windows, final-sale products, fees, damaged goods, gifts, bundles, international orders and approval exceptions before configuring the journey. Exchange-first options can help retain revenue, but they should never obscure the customer’s actual choices. ## Connect the full operation A return touches more than the storefront. Inventory, order status, warehouse instructions, labels, refunds, support conversations and reporting all need to agree. We test representative orders from start to finish and decide which exceptions require a person. After launch, return reasons and completion rates can reveal product or fulfilment problems that deserve attention beyond the returns portal. ### Yotpo URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/yotpo Category: Reviews Review and UGC platform for Shopify brands to build trust and conversions. Brands use Yotpo to collect reviews, launch loyalty programs, and send SMS campaigns. Yotpo is an e-commerce marketing platform that provides solutions for reviews, loyalty, SMS, and subscriptions. It helps brands build trust, engage customers, and increase retention. ### Shopify Search & Discovery URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/shopify-search-discovery Category: Search App to customise search, filters, and product recommendations. Merchants use Shopify Search & Discovery to optimise search results, add product filters, and suggest related items. Shopify Search & Discovery improves how customers find products by customising search results, filters, and recommendations. It enhances product discovery and navigation, helping merchants boost conversion rates. ### Ahrefs URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/ahrefs Category: SEO SEO tool for backlinks, keyword research, and site audits. We use Ahrefs to establish search demand, compare competing pages, inspect backlink profiles, track priority rankings, and find technical issues that deserve investigation. The data informs an SEO plan; it does not replace editorial judgement or a technical review. Ahrefs is most useful when it is treated as a research system rather than a source of automatic answers. Site Explorer helps us understand which pages and topics already earn visibility. Keywords Explorer gives a practical view of demand and competing results, while Site Audit surfaces crawl and on-page issues across a larger site. ## What it does well The platform brings competitor research, backlink analysis, keyword discovery, rank tracking and technical crawling into one workspace. That makes it particularly useful during discovery and after a launch, when a team needs a repeatable view of what changed. Content Explorer and the newer brand-monitoring tools can also support research beyond a single domain. ## What to plan before implementation Ahrefs estimates are directional, not a substitute for first-party data. We compare its findings with Search Console, analytics and the live site before recommending work. A sensible setup starts with a small group of commercially relevant topics, named competitors and clear reporting intervals; tracking every possible keyword usually creates noise rather than insight. ### Google Analytics URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/google-analytics Category: SEO Free analytics suite to track website traffic and behaviour. We configure GA4 around a short measurement plan: important page views, meaningful interactions, lead submissions, commerce events, campaign attribution, and consent behaviour. Reports are then organised around questions the team will actually revisit. Google Analytics 4 is an event-based measurement platform for websites and apps. It can show how people arrive, which journeys they take and whether important outcomes occur, but only when the account reflects the way the organisation actually defines success. ## Start with the questions We begin by naming the decisions the data should support. A service business may need to distinguish a qualified form submission from a generic interaction. A retailer needs consistent product, cart, checkout and purchase events. Campaign links also need disciplined naming so acquisition reports remain readable months later. ## Keep the implementation accountable Realtime and DebugView are useful during setup, while standard and exploratory reports support ongoing analysis. We document event names, parameters, conversions, exclusions and ownership so the account does not become a collection of unexplained tags. Analytics also needs regular quality checks after form, checkout, domain or consent changes. A dashboard cannot correct an event that stopped firing three releases ago. ### Google My Business URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/google-my-business Category: SEO Free business profile tool to manage local SEO and maps visibility. Local businesses use Google My Business to increase visibility, collect reviews, and share updates. Google My Business is a free tool that boosts local SEO by listing businesses on Google Maps and Search. It helps manage reviews, business details, and customer engagement. ### Google Search Console URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/google-search-console Category: SEO Free SEO tool to monitor indexing and performance in Google. We use Search Console to verify ownership, submit sitemaps, inspect important URLs, review indexing patterns, compare search queries and landing pages, and monitor Core Web Vitals. It is also one of the first places we check after a migration or release. Google Search Console is Google’s first-party view of a site in organic search. Its Performance report connects queries with clicks, impressions, positions and landing pages. Indexing and URL Inspection reports help explain whether Google can discover and select a page, while Core Web Vitals highlights groups of URLs with similar experience issues. ## Useful for diagnosis, not just reporting We use Search Console to separate different SEO questions. Is demand changing, or did a page lose visibility? Is Google indexing the preferred URL? Did a new template introduce a canonical or mobile usability problem? Filters for page, query, country, device and date make those questions much easier to investigate. ## Read the data carefully Search Console is not a conventional rank tracker and it does not report every individual search. Average position can move because the query mix changed, even when the main commercial terms stayed stable. We compare it with analytics, crawl data and the actual search results before drawing conclusions. The account should also retain all valid domain properties and sitemap submissions when a site changes platform. ### Hreflang Manager URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/hreflang-manager Category: SEO Shopify SEO app to manage hreflang tags for multi-language stores. Merchants use Hreflang Manager to manage international SEO and avoid duplicate content issues. Hreflang Manager is a Shopify app that simplifies adding hreflang tags for multi-language stores. It ensures the correct regional content is served in search results, improving international SEO. ### Screaming Frog URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/screaming-frog Category: SEO Technical SEO crawler for site audits and issue detection. We use the SEO Spider to crawl staging and production sites, compare releases, test redirect maps, review canonical and hreflang signals, find broken internal links, inspect metadata patterns, and extract template-level information for investigation. Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a desktop crawler for inspecting how a website is connected and what each URL returns. It is particularly good at finding patterns that are difficult to see page by page: redirect chains, orphaned metadata, inconsistent canonicals, broken resources and template-wide heading issues. ## A crawler for releases as well as audits We use it before migrations to inventory the existing site and after deployment to confirm that important URLs, links and directives survived the change. Custom extraction can inspect elements that are specific to a project, while JavaScript rendering helps when the meaningful HTML is produced in the browser. Analytics and Search Console data can be joined to the crawl when prioritisation needs real traffic context. ## Configuration matters A crawl is not neutral. Limits, robots handling, user agent, rendering, authentication and URL parameters all affect the result. We save the configuration and record the crawl date so comparisons remain useful. Reports are reviewed against intent: a short title is not automatically poor, and a redirected legacy URL is not a defect if no sitemap, canonical or internal link still points to it. ### SEMrush URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/semrush Category: SEO SEO and PPC platform for competitor analysis and site optimisation. We use Semrush to research search demand and competitors, group keyword opportunities, review backlinks, track an agreed set of rankings, and identify technical issues. Projects are configured around a defined market, location and commercial objective. Semrush is a broad search marketing toolkit covering keyword research, competitor analysis, backlinks, rank tracking, on-page recommendations and technical auditing. It is useful when a team needs a repeatable research process across organic search and paid search rather than a one-off list of keywords. ## Turn the toolset into a focused project The account should be configured for the market the business serves, with named competitors and a restrained set of priority terms. Position Tracking can then show movement against the same baseline, while Site Audit and backlink reports add technical and authority context. Keyword research is most useful when opportunities are grouped by intent and mapped to existing or planned pages. ## Estimates need interpretation Traffic, difficulty and competitor figures are modelled estimates. We do not present them as first-party facts. Recommendations are checked against Search Console, analytics, the live search results and the quality of the current page. This avoids creating content solely because a dashboard found a phrase, and keeps effort centred on topics that the business can answer with genuine expertise. ### Buffer URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/buffer Category: Social Social media scheduling and analytics tool for teams and brands. We use Buffer to turn an approved content plan into a manageable publishing queue, keep channel-specific versions together, and review basic performance without giving every contributor direct access to each social account. Buffer is a focused social publishing workspace. It helps a small marketing team plan a queue, adapt posts for different channels, collect approvals and keep a consistent publishing rhythm without relying on reminders and separate spreadsheets. ## A practical role in the content workflow The strongest setup starts before anything is scheduled. We define a limited set of content themes, decide which channels genuinely matter, and agree who writes, reviews and publishes. Buffer then gives that process a clear home. Tags can separate campaigns or themes, while the calendar makes gaps and repetition easier to spot. ## Reporting without overclaiming Buffer’s channel analytics are useful for comparing posts and spotting patterns, but likes and impressions are not the same as business results. Links should use consistent campaign parameters, and important landing-page activity should be checked in the site’s analytics platform. This keeps social reporting connected to enquiries, subscriptions or sales rather than producing an isolated engagement report. ### Atlist URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/atlist Category: Store Locator Interactive map platform that integrates with Shopify store locators. We use Atlist when a brand needs a visually distinctive store, stockist, event, or project map without commissioning a fully custom mapping application. Marker data can be maintained in a spreadsheet, then presented with filters, search, clusters, routes, and branded map styles. Atlist is a no-code map builder for publishing location-based information on an existing website. It can combine markers, categories, search, lists, routes and custom map styling without turning a straightforward store locator into a software project. ## Where it works best The platform suits retail stockists, venues, events, service areas and project portfolios. Markers can open richer content, while clusters and filters keep a large location set usable. Spreadsheet import and Google Sheets synchronisation are helpful when the people maintaining the map are not the same people maintaining the website. ## What needs thought before launch A good locator begins with clean location data. Names, addresses, coordinates, categories, opening details and destination links should follow one consistent structure. We also plan the mobile experience, empty states and keyboard access before styling the map. If a locator must respond to live stock or delivery availability, Atlist may still form the presentation layer, but it should not be mistaken for the system holding that operational data. ### Stockist URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/stockist Category: Store Locator Shopify store locator app to showcase physical retail locations. Brands use Stockist to display store locations, improve customer convenience, and drive in-store traffic. Stockist is a store locator app for Shopify that helps customers find nearby retail locations. With customisable maps and easy setup, it improves the online-to-offline shopping experience. ### Storemapper URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/storemapper Category: Store Locator Easy-to-install Shopify store locator with customisable maps. Merchants use Storemapper to highlight retail outlets, distributors, and global stockists. Storemapper is a store locator app designed for Shopify and other platforms. It supports bulk uploads, analytics, and mobile-optimised maps, helping businesses drive foot traffic. ### Storepoint URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/storepoint Category: Store Locator Shopify store locator app with custom maps and branding options. We use Storepoint when a commerce or brand site needs a dedicated stockist or store finder with search, location details, mobile-friendly results and styling that can sit comfortably within the existing website. Storepoint is a hosted store-locator product for brands that need customers to find physical stores, stockists, showrooms or service points. It provides the map and search experience without requiring the website team to build and maintain a mapping application from the ground up. ## The data is the experience A locator needs more than pins. We structure consistent names, addresses, coordinates, categories, opening details and destination links, then decide how customers should search or filter them. Mobile behaviour deserves particular attention because many visitors will use the locator while travelling. Clear results and usable directions matter more than decorative map styling. ## Fit it into the wider site The embedded locator should inherit the site’s spacing, typography and accessibility expectations. It also needs sensible loading behaviour so a third-party map does not unnecessarily delay the rest of the page. We define who owns location updates and how quickly changes must appear. If store availability comes from another operational system, that system should remain the source of truth rather than asking staff to maintain the same record twice. ### Bold Subscriptions URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/bold-subscriptions Category: Subscriptions Subscription management app with flexible recurring order options. Stores use Bold Subscriptions to create subscription boxes, repeat orders, and personalised delivery schedules. Bold Subscriptions is a Shopify app for managing recurring orders and subscriptions. It supports flexible billing, custom rules, and customer portals, giving merchants more control over subscription models. ### Recharge URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/recharge Category: Subscriptions Shopify subscription app for recurring billing and customer retention. Merchants use Recharge to sell subscription boxes, recurring consumables, and memberships. Recharge is a Shopify app for subscriptions and recurring billing. It allows merchants to sell subscription products, manage recurring payments, and improve customer retention. ### Gorgias URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/gorgias Category: Support Helpdesk and customer support platform built for e-commerce brands. Brands use Gorgias to handle support inquiries, manage returns, and automate common responses. Gorgias is a helpdesk and customer support platform built for e-commerce. It centralises support tickets from email, chat, and social channels, while integrating with Shopify for order data. ### Elevar URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/elevar Category: Tracking Shopify tracking and analytics automation for GA4, GTM, and pixels. Merchants use Elevar to automate tracking setup, improve attribution, and connect analytics tools. Elevar is a Shopify app for tracking, tagging, and analytics setup. It ensures accurate data collection for marketing and performance measurement by automating event tracking and integrations. ### Framer URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/framer Category: Website Modern web design platform for fast, high-converting websites. We use Framer for design-led marketing sites that need a capable CMS, responsive layouts, localisation, analytics, and a short path from approved design to production. It is particularly effective when the internal team wants to manage routine content without touching the component system. Framer combines a visual canvas, responsive components, CMS collections and managed hosting in one publishing platform. It lets a design-led team move from a working layout to a live site without rebuilding every approved decision in a separate system. ## Where Framer is strongest We favour it for brand and marketing sites with a clear content model: services, work, articles, people, locations or campaign pages. Reusable components keep those page types consistent, while the CMS gives editors a controlled way to add content. Localisation can support regional URLs and translated CMS entries when international structure is planned at the beginning. ## What still needs engineering judgement Visual tools do not remove the need for semantic HTML, accessible interaction, performance budgets or careful redirects. Third-party scripts, oversized media and loosely governed components can weaken any site. Before launch we check heading structure, keyboard behaviour, metadata, structured data, canonical and hreflang output, image treatment, forms and analytics. Framer is the production platform; it is not a substitute for that production discipline. ### Squarespace URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/squarespace Category: Website Managed website and commerce platform for content, memberships, donations and online stores. We use Squarespace for organisations that need a polished, manageable website with structured pages, publishing, donations, memberships or straightforward e-commerce in one hosted platform. Squarespace combines website editing, hosting, content management and a practical set of marketing and commerce tools in one managed service. It suits organisations that want to update pages confidently without owning a custom deployment pipeline or coordinating several separate systems. ## A sensible choice for focused organisations For community groups, professional services, cultural organisations and small retailers, the strongest advantage is operational simplicity. Pages, articles, events, forms and products can be managed from one interface, while templates and section layouts help keep publishing consistent. We shape the information architecture before moving content. That means deciding which material belongs in permanent pages, collections, news posts or shop items, then creating reusable patterns that editors can maintain after launch. ## Migration without losing search equity A platform move is more than copying text into a new design. We inventory existing URLs, preserve valuable content, plan redirects, review page titles and descriptions, and reconnect analytics, forms and domain settings. Images are resized and named properly, and navigation is tested against the journeys visitors actually take. For the Ithacan Historical Society, Squarespace provided a manageable foundation for cultural content, community information and e-commerce. The work included a clear content structure and practical handover so the organisation could publish independently. ## Build for the people maintaining it We document the editing workflow and train the team around real tasks: updating a page, publishing news, adding a product and checking enquiries. The goal is not just a polished launch. It is a site that remains clear, current and useful after the project team steps away. ### Webflow URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/webflow Category: Website Visual web design tool with CMS and hosting in one platform. We assess Webflow for marketing and editorial sites that need a visual production workflow, structured CMS collections, responsive components, managed hosting, and controlled access for content editors. Existing Webflow sites can also be audited, reorganised or migrated. Webflow combines a visual front-end builder, CMS, hosting and site administration. It gives design teams detailed control over responsive layouts while allowing editors to publish structured content through collections rather than changing individual page designs. ## A strong fit for structured marketing sites Services, projects, articles, people and locations can be modelled as CMS collections and reused across templates. Components and variables help keep the visual system consistent, while custom code and APIs can connect external tools where the built-in features stop. Localisation can add region or language variants, including localised URLs and search metadata. ## Build for the editors who inherit it A canvas can be visually tidy and still be difficult to maintain. We establish naming, components, collection fields, breakpoints and editing permissions around real publishing tasks. Before launch we review semantics, keyboard behaviour, forms, redirects, metadata, canonical and hreflang output, image loading and third-party scripts. Webflow reduces the distance between design and production, but it still benefits from the same content governance and release checks as a coded site. ### WordPress URL: https://newsiteagency.com/platforms/wordpress Category: Website Open-source CMS powering blogs and websites worldwide.
