Hello, we're Skyrocket

We're a Certified Shopify Partner in New Zealand

Clean Collective saw a 103% conversion rate increase and 28% sales growth after their Shopify rebuild. The numbers come from understanding how buyers think, not from a new colour palette.

Past & current clients

Shopify Partner certification is based on assessed build quality and delivery standard, not self-reported experience. In a space with real variation in what developers produce, looking for Shopify certification is important. The certification doesn't guarantee any specific outcome, but it does mean Shopify has reviewed our work before putting their name next to it.

Wherever you're starting from.

Starting from scratch is a different conversation from fixing something that's underperforming.
Shopify
Shopify builds for product-based businesses. From straightforward stores to complex ecommerce operations, built around what the store needs to sell.
New Builds
A new Shopify or Webflow site built around what the business needs to do commercially. We work out the architecture, integrations and structure before a single page gets designed.
Re Designs
A rebuild of a site that is underperforming. We look at where the current site is losing people, agree on a commercial brief and redesign from there. Not a cosmetic refresh.
Shopify Plus
Shopify's enterprise tier. Lower transaction fees, custom checkout logic, wholesale channels and priority support. For stores at $1M+ revenue, the upgrade usually makes commercial sense.
Ongoing Support
Ongoing development for live sites. Feature additions, performance work, seasonal campaigns and the day-to-day updates that keep a site working as hard as the business.

How a project works when the measure is revenue, not aesthetics.

Every project starts from a different position. What stays constant is the first question: what does this need to achieve commercially? The steps below are built around the answer.

1
Discovery and store strategy

We map your product range, customer journey and commercial goals before designing a single page.

  • Where visitors are dropping off and what’s stopping checkout completion
  • What’s driving purchases and what can be improved
  • Discovery shapes the brief. The brief shapes every design decision. We do not skip this step.
2
Design in Figma

Every key page designed and approved before development begins.

  • Product pages, collection pages, cart and checkout flow, mobile experience
  • Designed for how your customers actually shop, assessed against Shopify’s partner standard
  • You see and approve everything before the build starts
3
Shopify build and integration

Built using clean code and a properly structured admin your team can manage.

  • Apps selected for what the store actually needs, not what we’re most familiar with
  • All integrations tested before launch
  • Standard independently assessed by Shopify, not just described by us
4
Launch and training

We support the launch and handle anything that surfaces in the live environment.

  • Team trained on managing inventory, running promotions and handling orders
  • No developer needed for day-to-day store management after handover
  • Available for the first week post-live. The handover is done properly or it isn’t done.

New to market

Partner certification means Shopify has assessed our build quality. For a first store, that matters. You're not taking someone's word for it.
A Shopify store built by a certified partner is set up differently. The admin is cleaner, the apps are the right ones and the CMS is structured for how your team actually works.

1M - 3M

Clean Collective saw a 103% conversion rate increase after their Shopify rebuild with us. The certification is the signal. The result is the proof.

3 - 10M

At this trading volume the partner relationship matters beyond the build. We know the platform, its limits and what it takes to make Shopify perform at scale. That knowledge doesn't come from a handful of projects.

10M+

“We hired Skyrocket to rebuild our two websites on Shopify (one for NZ, one for Australia) and we were extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Skyrocket were efficient and cost-effective, delivering everything we wanted for our websites on time and on-budget. I have 15 years of experience in e-commerce and performance marketing, working both client side and agency side. I can honestly say that our project with Skyrocket was one of the smoothest I’ve experienced, and I would enlist them again in a second.”

Build

A new Shopify store built from scratch by a certified partner. Planned around your product range and customer journey before design begins. The result is a store structured for how your customers shop and how your team manages inventory.

Rebuild

Your current Shopify store is underperforming. We audit what’s there, identify where the conversion problems live and rebuild with a specific commercial brief. Clean Collective saw a 103% conversion rate increase after this process. The starting point was understanding what buyers needed to see before they’d commit.

Ongoing support

You have a Shopify store and need a certified partner to keep building it. Feature additions, seasonal builds, integration work and performance improvements. We review the existing store before we start and tell you what we find.

FAQs

What does Shopify Partner status mean and why does it matter?

Shopify Partner certification is awarded to studios that have met the platform's standard for build quality and client delivery. It is not a self-reported designation. For clients, it means the studio has been vetted by Shopify itself rather than simply taking on work after a handful of projects. The certification exists because the difference between a qualified Shopify studio and an unqualified one is measurable in store performance.

Do you work with existing Shopify stores or only new builds?

Both. Many of our projects are rebuilds of existing stores that are underperforming. We audit the current store before recommending a rebuild, because sometimes the conversion problems are fixable within the existing structure. When a rebuild is the right call, we tell you specifically what it will fix and what the expected return looks like.

How long does a Shopify project take?

Most Shopify builds run eight to twelve weeks from a signed brief to launch. More complex builds with multi-currency setup, custom app integrations or large product catalogues take longer. We give you a realistic timeline before you commit, not after.

What results can we expect from working with a certified Shopify Partner?

Results depend on the specific brief and the starting point of the current store. Clean Collective saw a 103% conversion rate increase and 28% sales increase following their Shopify rebuild with Skyrocket. Heritage Saunas, a Webflow build, reached a 4.6% enquiry conversion rate against a 2.7% industry benchmark. Both results came from the same process: understanding what buyers need to see before they commit and building around that.

We’re always around, in a ‘we can come visit’ sort of way.

Before a project starts, we often come to you. Sitting in your space, understanding how the business operates and working through the brief face to face gives us context that a video call doesn't quite replicate.
