Featured work

• Unleashed on 42 - Full Service Project

  Unleashed on 42 was a very tight turnaround on timeline. We had about a month to get the logo, branding, signage, print materials, social profiles, and most importantly website and store set up. We linked their site with their preferred booking app, got their SEO optimized, integrated with Mailchimp, integrated with Facebook & Google stores. We gave this small biz a large biz website.

  DEBRA Canada was part of our non-profit program, where we give back to a local, notable and worthy charity in need of web & marketing help. We linked with the charitable organization software, reworked their content to be easier to navigate. We also still manage their Google Ads, and sometimes help out with some social campaigns.

• Production Case - Magento Move

  Production Case was on a Magento 2 platform, and were having issue after issue. The cost of keeping up the site became too great, and so we moved them to Shopify. Unique to their business, they required custom shipping integrations, additional product information, and complex menu features.

  This client came to us with an existing Shopify site and didn't have the time to navigate trying to organize content or design the site. In a quick fix, we applied simple clean design, and optimized their home page content for SEO.

Ratings and reviews

• Bolsover DesignsOct 21, 2021

  Absolutely thrilled with the work done for me. The price was Excellent. After experiencing a very bad situation online, costing me £thousands, I put a job up on Shopify, hoping someone could help me out. Alison contacted me and after many messages and super advice, we decided to get rid of the bad website created by the previous company (not Shopify expert, but company who advertised on Google). She sorted the whole lot out in super fast time and my website is working again. This whole process was easy and friendly. I wish I had done this before I lost a lot of money. Thank you Alison, you saved my day.

  Excellent to deal with, they always respond to questions and do great work. Also they are trust worthy, my work took 2 hours instead of 4 which was the original quote and they charged for 2 hours. A developer you can trust is hard to find but Alison was great
