Swift issue resolution

Strategic thinking

Collaborative planning

Transparent communication

Included with every retainer

The system behind the hours.

A monthly plan, a shared board, a priority lane, reserved capacity, and the same people — so work moves without starting from zero each time.

01 — Planning call

Plan the month together

A working session, not a status dump. We look at what's moving and lock the next work against your calendar.

02 — Shared board

One board. Zero chasing.

Every request has an owner, a status and a due date — the same Asana board we use. No "where's that?" threads.

03 — Pipeline priority

Your work skips the line

Retainer tasks sit in a dedicated lane, sequenced against your dates — not whoever emailed last.

04 — Reserved capacity

Hours held before you ask

A block of senior time is booked against your month. Peak season doesn't mean we'll squeeze you in.

05 — Same team

They already know the store

The same PM, developer and designer, month after month. Theme quirks, apps, brand — already in their heads.

Benefits of Shopify Ongoing Support

Consistent support. Ongoing improvements. Quick solutions.

A retainer gives you a dedicated team that proactively strategizes, optimizes and grows your Shopify store — ideal when you need regular updates and sustained success.

Boost conversions and targets

Proactive support, fresh ideas and prompt fixes — so you focus on the business while we keep the store performing and driving conversions.

Proactive continuous improvement

We don't wait for issues. Regular updates and assessments keep your store competitive with the latest ecommerce trends and Shopify features.

Unlock growth opportunities

Ongoing optimization and strategic updates so the store runs at its peak — and we keep looking for the next growth lever.

Quick response

Swift issue resolution and priority attention on critical matters. Less downtime, protected sales, happier customers.

Specialized expertise

We fill gaps in your ecommerce capabilities with Shopify specialists — so complex challenges don't stall the brand.

Cost-effectiveness

A retainer reduces the risk of costly major issues later. Preventative work and continuous optimization pay for themselves over time.

During the retainer

Start with a call. Grow with a team on your side.

We begin with André — your backlog, goals and how many hours fit. From there, the same people handle bugs, theme work, CRO, subscriptions, integrations and expansion while you stay focused on the business.

UX audit of a Shopify store

Find the friction

We map what’s slowing shoppers down — and what to fix first.

Prioritized Shopify improvement roadmap

A clear roadmap

Prioritized changes with examples, not a dump of notes.

Conversion rate optimization on a product page

CRO that pays back

Every recommendation is aimed at conversions and revenue.

What you get

A dedicated Shopify bench — not a ticket black box

Priority support, proactive improvements and strategy calls with people who already know your store.

Outcome

Faster turnaround
Bugs and small builds ship without re-briefing a new freelancer every time

Outcome

Fewer surprises
Platform updates, app conflicts and performance drift caught early

Outcome

Steady progress
A monthly cadence of UX and feature work instead of a yearly rebuild panic

Outcome

Growth partnership
Strategy, CRO and retention expertise on tap when the store needs more than maintenance

How it works

From first call to a support rhythm that sticks.

  1. 01Week 1

    Map the store & backlog

    Theme, apps, known issues and upcoming campaigns. You leave with a clear retainer shape: hours, priorities and what belongs in a bigger project.

  2. 02Week 1–2

    Onboard into your stack

    Access, documentation and a shared board. We learn the quirks once — so every request after that starts faster.

  3. 03Ongoing

    Ship on a monthly cadence

    Fixes and improvements prioritized with you, delivered in batches, reviewed before peak moments. Capacity reserved when you need it most.

  4. 04As you grow

    Scale the engagement

    Add hours for BFCM, path into CRO or a theme rebuild when needed, or keep a lean retainer for quiet months. Support flexes with the business.
