Shopify and other platforms

Not every project belongs on WordPress. A shop with a standard checkout often runs better on Shopify, a marketing team may thrive on Webflow, and a site with demanding performance targets can be built headless on Next.js. We are upfront about where each platform shines and where it runs out of road.

What the service covers

You choose a platform once, and that choice shapes the budget, the schedule and how far the solution can grow. So we spend time on it before building anything.

Talk it through with us

Choosing the platform

We start from what the site must do a year from now, not from what is fashionable. You receive a short recommendation covering pros, cons and running costs.

Shopify

A fast route to a stable shop with payments, shipping and apps. We configure Danish payment methods, Danish VAT and carriers such as PostNord, GLS or DAO.

Webflow

A good fit for marketing sites where the team wants to launch pages and campaigns themselves without queuing for a developer.

Headless on Next.js

The front end runs separately from the content system, for example Sanity, Storyblok or Shopify. Pages load very quickly and the design has no template constraints.

Integrations

Forms, analytics, CRM and accounting connected through apps or APIs, so data does not have to be copied by hand.

Training

Editors and shop managers get an online session so they can work independently from the first day.

How we deliver it

Projects on a hosted platform are short, often from two weeks. Headless builds take longer because more is created from scratch.

Requirements

We pin down features, traffic and integrations and compare them with each platform's limits.

Design

Either a custom design or an adapted theme if the budget is tight.

Set-up

Pages, products, apps, payments and tracking are configured and tested.

Go-live

Domain, SSL, redirects, consent-based tracking and training for your people.

The store and the account must be opened in your company's name. On Shopify and Webflow we work through collaborator access, which you can revoke whenever you like. A store sitting on an agency account cannot simply be taken along if you switch supplier. You may own the domain, but not the site itself.

Common questions

Shopify and Webflow are cheapest to launch, but they carry monthly subscriptions and paid apps. A self-hosted WordPress or headless build costs more up front but has fewer recurring fees. We model both for your volumes before you choose.

Yes, perfectly well. Shopify handles the technical basics nicely, and the rest comes down to structure, copy and speed. The main constraints are fixed URL patterns, which you need to know about and plan around.

When you have heavy traffic, several channels or a design that a standard theme cannot carry. For a small company site it is overkill. Headless also needs developers for day-to-day running, and that belongs in the decision.
