Can your digital agency help me with setting up my Shopify store?

Absolutely! As a Shopify agency, we can develop a storefront for emerging brands. Why we choose Shopify is simple: it offers the single best set of capabilities for businesses to get started online without issue. We believe they’ll appreciate being able to use powerful tools like analytics tracking, inventory management, and easy-to-use development so they can spend more time focusing on what makes them stand out. Of course, we also serve brands who have an existing Shopify store with design and development changes, as well as other eCommerce platforms like Magento and Drupal Commerce. 

Do you do branding or should I hire a separate branding agency?

Yes, G & Co. does branding. As a user experience agency foremost, we recognize branding is an integral part of any design project. So even if branding is not a focal point of a project, we still conduct our research and discuss visual identities and strategies to propel our design work forward. In most cases, our clients have a brand strategy in place or a visual identity already decided. With this, we can use that foundation as the starting point and apply it to our work to ensure we stay true to a brand’s roots while enriching its mission. 

What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?

The difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus is in the size of the business. Shopify is made for small-to-medium-sized businesses, while Shopify Plus is designed for large and enterprise businesses. As such, Shopify Plus works just the same as the standard Shopify plan but handles high volume visitors and transactions, in addition to a host of other premium features not available to the core Shopify plan like customizing the checkout experience and wholesale sales channel for B2C operations. 
‍
In short, if you’re a business that’s making consistent monthly revenues of at least $75,000, expect rapid growth in the near-term, need the additional capabilities for further growth, and/or want to sell B2B, then Shopify Plus is for you. If neither of those things applies to you, consider Shopify or its Advanced plan first before selecting Shopify Plus.

How can I get a proposal for my project?

If you're looking for a UI/UX design and DTC Shopify Plus agency or luxury Shopify Plus agency, please send us an email first with a quick summary of your project or an RFI/RFP. We usually reply within 36 hours to schedule an introductory call and ask any immediate questions. During our first call, we will ask some questions about the project goals, audience, budget, timeline, and other essential details. We can sign an NDA if necessary, but our standard is to always treat all client conversations as confidential. Please feel free to contact other digital agencies to compare their prices and design and brand approach. While many digital agencies only work by the hour, we try to estimate the project cost as precisely as possible before we start. After the call, we may request various documentation such as a design brief, project requirements, past designs, etc. If we’re redesigning an existing digital product, we’ll want to schedule a demo or try it ourselves. We will create a proposal and schedule a video call to walk you through it. The digital agency proposal will include a detailed description of our brand approach, project phases, activities, and deliverables, and relevant case studies.
