Featured work

• Bright Box

  Bright Box’s primary pain point was that they didn’t have a way for their customers to build custom boxes. No theme or external app could accommodate their needs, so we constructed a beautiful, intuitive “build a box” feature, allowing customers to build their box from scratch--box design to number and type of items inside.

• Vida Drops | CBD Oil

  Vida Drops' previous e-commerce presence was a clunky, disorganized 3-D Cart site. Online sales were virtually zero thanks to poor UX and bugs galore. We migrated them over to Shopify and into a brand spanking new design, anchored by a comprehensive SEO strategy and backed by expert content, copy, and marketing tools. They even took the opportunity to do a brand refresh.

• Dmanna

  Dmanna was straddling two systems (Hubstpot and Shopify), fragmenting all their processes. They wanted a more unified, streamlined solution. We gave it to them by migrating all their most important systems to Shopify! But that’s not all. When Dmanna came to us, they had initiated a complete rebrand and needed major help redesigning their Shopify storefront to match their beautiful new packaging.

• Cup and Leaf

  Custom collection page and customer subscription landing page.

Ratings and reviews

• Bestie HealthSite performance and speedMay 26, 2022

  From the time I met Grace and Z I knew that the tako crew were my kind of people. It's important people you work with know what they're doing, of course, but it also goes a helluva long way if you like them too. And, they have dogs!!! Also, as a marketer of 30 odd years myself, it's not often I find people I'm willing to hand over positioning and copy and other core messaging to...But with Grace I was super happy to collaborate with her and take on board feedback...not to mention that as we are a small store, both Z and Grace have gone out of their way to find a way to work with me that could fit with where we're at...so I really appreciated that flexibility. All round the team is great...and they know shopify like a lot.

• LitJoy CrateStore build or redesignMay 12, 2022

  Tako understands complex Shopify configurations! Our store uses subscriptions, memberships, rewards, reviews, private access shops, and who knows what we'll do next. Tako was able to unify all these aspects of the customer journey into one beautiful experience on our customer portal page. They understood how much we wanted our customers to feel welcome in our store. On top of that, Tako stays up to date on the latest website trends and marketing tactics, making them an invaluable partner! We're so glad we reached out to them for our company's first major website overhaul. They've built a great foundation and a springboard for great things to come, and we plan to continue using them for future website initiatives.

• PourMoreTheme customizationMay 11, 2022

  We have had a great experience with the team at Tako. They have been resourcful, responsive, and a great partner to help us grow our platform. We have enjoyed working with them and have re-upped multiple times with more hours. Thanks Tako!

• Vida DropsStore migrationNov 11, 2021

  I've been working with Z and Tako agency for a few years now. I have to say that this group embodies what a good customer service based business should be. Extremely thorough, attentive and easy to work with. As someone who gets really busy and often has to stray from my time line, the Tako group has always been great about keeping up to date on where we are in our process. I would highly recommend working with Tako agency on your next project. Rob Vida Drops USA

• Wicked EdgeTheme customizationJan 26, 2021

  Our experience with Tako Agency has been excellent! On top of being very familiar with Shopify, Marketing and UX/UI in regards to ecommerce, they are down to earth and great at communication. They kept us in the loop on each item they worked on for us. Tako was successful at making all the changes we requested and meeting the agreed upon deadlines without issue. We’ll continue to work with them in the future!

• Most PotentTheme customizationDec 2, 2020

  TAKO AGENCY is the best at everything related to Shopify. You want strategy? They got you. You want design? They impress you. You want developers? They save you. And they will finish faster than you! Call TAKO and make it happen!

• The EversetTroubleshootingAug 5, 2020

  As a online startup, we've come across our fair share of developers that over promise and under deliver. Tako has been a breath of fresh air with regards to communication (by everyone on the team), high quality work and turnaround time. No project/issue has been too small or too big and even though, as an agency, Tako likely has much bigger accounts to work with we always feel listened to and heard in the discovery process. Highly recommend.

• MI SportsStore migrationJul 7, 2020

  Zlatko and his team were great to work with. We are a small company so our budget was small and our computer knowledge is even smaller! Tako was able to make sense of our needs and create a website that met all of our requirements. We have a very customized business dealing with custom items for the consumer and they were able to help us in all of the areas that were outside of the box! Great communication and friendly. We will definitely be using Tako in the future!!

• Orenda InternationalTheme customizationMay 21, 2020

  The team at Tako was great to work with. Listened to our unique challenge, used their exceptional knowledge and experience working with Shopify and Re-Charge to propose a solution, and implemented upon approval. When a bug in the initial solution was discovered. They were responsive, contacted the app provider to work together to find the cause and work to resolve the issue, and implemented that solution. Great communication from the product manager through to the developer throughout the process. Felt like a partner not that they were in it for the quick hit. I look forward to continuing to grow our partnership with additional projects and work in the coming weeks and months. I highly recommend "Z" and the team at Tako.

• LabelDaddyTheme customizationApr 22, 2020

  Working with the Tako team was straightforward and I can't stress enough how great it was to work with Zlatko. Everything was completed in a timely manner and never once did I feel like I was being brushed off. My team previously had issues with other devs, but working with Tako was a very different experience. We will definitely be working with them again.
