One team from strategy to launch.
I have spent more than ten years building Shopify stores. In that time I have watched the same thing happen to brand after brand. They hire an agency on the strength of a pitch, then spend the next year managing juniors who are learning on their account.
Kirkby Consulting is set up to avoid that. I own the company and I lead delivery, which means I am in the build with the team. The person who scopes your project is the person responsible for shipping it. There is no account management layer between you and the work.
We are based in New York City and work with DTC and B2B brands in the 7 to 9 figure range, wherever they are. At that size a store is complex enough that mistakes cost real money, and the work has to hold up under that standard.
We care about a few specific things. Your store should be fast, and it should keep working when traffic spikes. Your team should be able to run it without calling us every week. And you should get a straight answer from us, including when the answer is that something is not worth building yet. We turn down projects we cannot do well.
Between the team and me, we have shipped more than a hundred stores. We have made most of the mistakes already, and we know how to avoid them now.
If you are weighing a replatform, a rebuild, or a piece of work you are not sure is worth doing, book a scoping call. It takes 30 minutes and you will leave with a clear read on whether we can help and what it would take.
