Past & current clients

We figure out what the store needs to do before we design a single page.

Before anything gets designed, we map the commercial landscape your store is operating in. We understand what customers in your category expect when they arrive, where they hesitate before buying and where they drop off. What your competitors are doing well and where the gaps are that your store can win on. What is working in ecommerce at your level, where the friction typically sits and what sends buyers elsewhere. By the time we move into design, we know exactly how your store needs to perform. None of that gets invented during the design phase. It gets decided before it.

We visit before we start. We create everything, not AI.

Product copy that was generated and not thought about costs credibility before a buyer finishes the first product description. Generic claims, no specific differentiation, a store that reads like every other store in your category. Before this project starts, we come to you. We talk to the people who know the customers, understand what makes the product worth buying and can answer why you specifically. Everything in your store comes from those conversations. Specific to your product and your buyer, not borrowed from a template.

Award-winning is a side effect of building things properly.

Skyrocket is a certified Shopify Partner and Webflow Partner. That matters for the same reason trade certification matters: the platform has assessed the work and confirmed it meets a standard. Beyond the certifications, the work has been recognised by FWA, Awwwards and CSSDA. Three organisations that assess build quality technically, not just visually. The awards are evidence of a standard. They tell you the build is properly done, the performance is real and the details most people never see have been taken seriously.

Your team can manage it. Without calling us.

Shopify's admin is built for the people running the business, not for developers. Your team can update products, adjust pricing, run promotions and manage orders without raising a support ticket. We configure the store structure to match how your team actually works. Then we train your team before we hand it over. We go through every part of store management on your actual products and orders, with the people who will be running it, until everyone is confident. Post-launch support is available. Most clients find the training was enough.

How it works

1
Discovery and store strategy

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

2
Design in Figma

Every key page is designed and approved before development begins, so there are no surprises in the build.

3
Shopify build and integration

We build the approved designs in Shopify, connect all apps and payment systems, and test properly.

4
Launch and training

We support the launch, train your team on store management, and stay available for one week post-live.

Questions we're asked alot.

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.
