Strategic Advisory
The right decision before the build beats ten corrections after.
The most expensive mistakes in ecommerce are made before the first line of code: wrong platform, wrong architecture, wrong priorities. We help your leadership make technical and strategic decisions with a complete basis for the call.

The challenge
This is what usually gets in the way.
Platform decisions without a key
Shopify, Plus, headless or something else? The wrong choice costs years. We analyze your business and give a recommendation you can defend.
Internationalization without a plan
New markets require decisions about domains, currencies, inventory, tax and localization. We've made the journey and know the pitfalls.
A roadmap ruled by the loudest voice
Without structured prioritization, whoever shouts loudest wins. We prioritize against expected business impact.
What's included
Concrete. Documented. Yours.
Platform selection
An independent analysis of your business against the platforms' strengths — with total cost, risks and a recommendation.
Internationalization
An expansion strategy with Shopify Markets: market selection, localization, logistics and SEO per market.
Technical roadmap
A prioritized plan for architecture, integrations and technical debt — connected to business goals.
Growth plan
Channel strategy, budget allocation and target setting built on your data and your market's reality.
Second opinion
An independent review of quotes, agency proposals or ongoing projects — before you sign.

Recommend
A clear recommendation with the basis, alternatives and risks.
- 04
Support
We stay through implementation if you want — but the material is yours.
Common questions
Objections deserve real answers.
Is the advisory tied to hiring you afterwards?
No. The recommendation stands on its own and you own all the material. Many choose to continue with us — but that should be because the material held up, not because you're locked in.
Do you always recommend Shopify?
No. Shopify is right for many merchants, but not for everyone. If your business points in another direction, we say so — with reasoning.
How is the advisory delivered?
As a time-boxed project with clear deliverables: analysis, decision material and a presentation for leadership or the board.
Can you review a quote we got from another agency?
Yes. A second opinion takes a few days and can save both money and years of lock-in to the wrong solution.
