What it is

Sometimes you do not need a build. You need someone who has shipped a hundred stores to look at your roadmap and tell you what is worth doing. We work as an external technical partner to ecommerce and digital teams.

That can be a one-off review, a replatform decision, vendor selection, or a standing advisory role where we are on call for the hard questions.

Who it is for

  • Founders and ecommerce directors weighing a replatform
  • Teams choosing between agencies, apps, or build-versus-buy
  • Brands without a senior technical lead in-house
  • Companies that want a second opinion before a large spend

The engagement

  1. Listen

    We start with your goals, constraints, and what is actually on fire.

  2. Review

    We look at your store, stack, and roadmap with fresh eyes.

  3. Recommend

    You get a clear, written recommendation with the trade-offs spelled out.

  4. Stay on

    We can stay on as an advisor or take the build if you want us to.

Results.

The team has given us the cold, hard truths upfront, resetting our foundation and telling us why the previous agency’s strategies were just bleeding budgets and not aligned with our actual strategic goals.

Common questions.

Is this a fixed engagement or ongoing?
Both work. Some clients book a single review; others keep us on a monthly retainer for ongoing decisions.
Do you only recommend your own build services?
Only when a build is the right answer. Plenty of our advisory work ends with do not build that yet.
Can you work alongside our existing agency?
Yes. We often act as the technical check on work other vendors are doing.
What do we get at the end of a review?
A clear, written recommendation with the trade-offs spelled out, so you can make the call with your team.
Can you help us decide whether to replatform?
Yes. Replatform decisions are one of the most common reasons teams bring us in. We have shipped more than 100 Shopify stores and can tell you when a move is worth it and when it is not.
Do you also handle marketing?
We handle owned channels such as email, SMS and subscriptions. If you need a paid media or SEO partner, we refer you to someone in our network.
