The Shopify platform is an out-of-the-box website builder. In other words, you can create an eCommerce store without coding knowledge.
With that in mind, why pay a professional? Well, here are a few compelling arguments for going down the professional route:
You’ll help your brand dominate
Shopify comes with free and premium templates. While they have a fantastic look and feel, you run the risk that your business will look identical to many other Shopify stores.
Using online store designers can help you create a unique brand that wows your target audience. When you build an online store, stunning branding is what will win over a new customer.
Your website will be more user-friendly
Have you ever discovered a website for the first time, and it just feels right? It’s slick, intuitive, and beautiful.
Chances are the business hired an expert team of Shopify developers who used methods like a user-centred design process to achieve that premium customer experience.
User experience is critical for any eCommerce store. Friction, whether confusion about the navigation, or kinks in the checkout process, might compel visitors to abandon their purchase.
Speed up your market launch
Undoubtedly, being first to market with a new product gives you a distinct advantage over your competitors.
So why waste months scratching your head with the intricacies of a Shopify setup when you can delegate that work to an expert?
To maximise your conversion rate
A good Shopify expert will understand the importance of CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization). That is the practice of fine-tuning a shop set up to improve your conversion rate (in other words, the percentage of visitors who buy from you).
That takes experience. Without expertise, you’ll probably find yourself relying on trial and error to raise that conversion rate. That takes time, effort, and money.
Peace of mind
Shopify might be an easy platform to understand, but that doesn’t mean all aspects of a website build are straightforward. You need to ensure your site is fast, mobile-friendly, and secure.
These technical details are much better in the hands of experts. We can get the development perfect from the outset and give you peace of mind that your website is technically sound.
It gives you extra time to focus on your launch
