Building an Ecommerce Website on Shopify
Berrymakers, a UK-based family business, sells premium strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, homemade jams, and honey. Seeking to expand their brand to the public, they partnered with Deployflow to create a user-friendly ecommerce website on Shopify for their high-quality products.
Challenge
Berrymakers initially faced a challenge in turning their vision of a functional webshop into reality. They lacked a clear strategy, a full development team, and answers to key questions such as their target audience, website goals, and checkout systems. The primary challenge was twofold: defining the objectives of the webshop and finding a team capable of realising their vision.
