Our process begins with a deep dive into your unique business needs and brand vision
1. Discovery, Scope & Planning

This phase brings the project to life by transforming the planning into a functional, visually appealing Shopify store. Key activities include:
Design Process: Create wireframes and mockups aligned with the brand’s visual identity, focusing on user experience (UX) and conversion rate optimization (CRO).
