Sound familiar?
-
The shop looks dated
Slow pages and a clunky checkout are costing sales you never see.
-
Stock lives in a spreadsheet
Online and in-store numbers drift apart, and you oversell.
-
Customers buy once
No easy way to reward repeat customers or bring them back.

How we approach retail & e-commerce
How we approach it
Two numbers decide whether a shop works: how fast the first page paints, and how many steps stand between wanting the thing and owning it. We measure both before touching the design, because a prettier storefront on a slow stack sells less than a plain one on a fast stack.
After that it is usually a stock problem rather than a shop problem. One count, shared across the till, the site and any marketplace you sell on, stops the oversells that cost you a customer twice: once for the refund, once for the review.
