As Shopify Plus partners, our team of dedicated Shopify web developers, marketers and project managers have migrated dozens of ecommerce stores to Shopify and Plus from other platforms, including Magento, WordPress, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and more. We’ve refined our process for successful migration over many years. A project management team creates a roadmap with agreed deliverables and timescales, makes sure there is no loss of visibility, ranking or traffic for your store and will migrate your orders, customers and product data while managing the migration and site launch once it has been developed.
If you choose Eastside Co for your build, your dedicated project team will provide a timeframe for delivery including key milestones as part of your project’s roadmap. Every website build is different and has many variables: a bespoke build on Shopify Plus, vs a theme build on Shopify or a migration from another ecommerce platform all have different levels of complexity and requirements. Each project’s timeframe is unique to the project itself. What we will say is that once we have agreed the delivery dates, we communicate progress transparently and regularly throughout the project via regular calls with your dedicated team. Contact us for a discussion.
For Shopify app development we use PHP and the Laravel framework to create the core functionality. That includes custom apps that we are building for our clients, as well as the public apps we make available for installation from the Shopify App Store. We also use Vue.js for custom app development to provide components to extend the administration area User Interface (UI) and the UI of the app itself. Further, we use TypeScript to tighten the accuracy of our code - especially on larger scale Shopify projects. For theme development, we use vanilla JavaScript using ES6. We have tended to keep our code framework-free to produce the most efficient code as possible. We also now use Vue.js in theme development. Especially for cart customisations through the Shopify AJAX API. For look and feel, we don't use any CSS frameworks for the same reason — we want our code to be as light as possible. We do use BEM for naming conventions.
This very much depends on the project - our consultative approach means that we discuss the needs of each client in order to determine the best approach. Our business development team will scope the project with you to understand your requirements, and agree on the investment required. Get in touch with them for an initial chat.
