The Challenge
A accounting firm relied entirely on in-person sales. When they tried a basic Shopify template, conversion rates were below 1%. The store felt generic, lacked their brand identity, and could not handle their specific product and service requirements.
The Solution
Custom Storefront
We designed and built a custom e-commerce experience that matched their brand and made browsing, selecting, and purchasing intuitive for their target audience.
Inventory and Fulfillment Integration
Real-time inventory sync between their physical location and online store eliminated overselling. Automated fulfillment workflows reduced shipping time by 40%.
Conversion Optimization
A/B tested checkout flows, strategic upsells, and abandoned cart recovery emails combined to lift conversion rates from 0.8% to 3.2%.
Results
After launch, the accounting firm saw measurable improvements:
- 85% increase in online revenue within 4 months
- Conversion rate improved from 0.8% to 3.2%
- 40% faster fulfillment with automated workflows
- Average order value increased 22% with strategic upsells
Timeline
The project followed a structured timeline:
- Discovery (Week 1-2): Requirements gathering, stakeholder interviews, and competitive analysis
- Design (Week 3-6): Wireframes, visual design, and prototype testing with real users
- Development (Week 7-14): Iterative builds with weekly demos and feedback rounds
- Launch (Week 15-16): Staged rollout, performance monitoring, and team training
Key Takeaways
- Invest in discovery — Understanding the problem thoroughly before building saved time and money
- Iterate based on data — Post-launch analytics guided prioritization of improvements
- Automate the repetitive — The biggest ROI came from automating tasks staff were doing manually
- Design for users — User testing during development caught issues before they became expensive to fix
