SHOPIFY PLATFORM AUDIT
A comprehensive Shopify store audit covering technical architecture, performance baseline, SEO health, conversion funnel analysis, app stack evaluation, and integration dependencies. Delivered as a prioritized action plan, not a list of observations. See our Shopify development services for implementation.
SHOPIFY TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP
We map your current Shopify architecture to your 12-24 month business goals and produce a prioritized technology roadmap: what to build, what to upgrade, what to replace, and in what order. Roadmaps prevent expensive re-work and align your development budget to business outcomes.
SHOPIFY REPLATFORMING CONSULTING
Evaluating whether to migrate to Shopify from Magento, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce? We conduct a full TCO comparison, platform fit assessment, and migration complexity analysis. Unbiased advice from a dual-certified agency. See our Shopify migration services for execution.

SHOPIFY APP STACK CONSULTING
Bloated app stacks are the number one cause of Shopify performance degradation. We audit every app in your store, identify redundancies and conflicts, recommend replacements, and produce an optimized app stack architecture that supports your business without dragging down site speed.
SHOPIFY GROWTH STRATEGY CONSULTING
Strategic consulting on Shopify growth levers: conversion optimization priorities, international expansion via Shopify Markets, B2B activation on Shopify Plus, headless architecture evaluation, and omnichannel integration strategy. Backed by 16+ years of ecommerce outcomes. See Shopify SEO services and Shopify web design.

Store Audit & Analysis
Technical and strategic audit of your Shopify store covering architecture, performance, SEO health, conversion funnel, app stack, and integration dependencies. Typically completed in 5-10 business days.
Stakeholder Workshop
Facilitated workshop with your key stakeholders: technical team, marketing, operations, and leadership. We align on priorities, validate audit findings, and pressure-test proposed solutions before finalizing recommendations.
Recommendations & Roadmap Delivery
Deliverable: prioritized action plan, technology roadmap, and implementation estimates. Every recommendation includes business rationale, implementation complexity, and expected ROI. Presented live with Q&A included.
