The Brief

Vital Assist commissioned us to design and build a new Shopify e-commerce website within a very tight timeframe, a challenge we were happy to accept given our experience with and knowledge of Shopify and how it’s the perfect fit for e-commerce start-ups.

The initial product range was fairly small - just six products in total - and there was no existing web presence to be concerned with which removes complex tasks like users and orders migration, URL redirection, etc.

Branding and professional product photograph had already been completed so our task was to bring it all together in Shopify so they could start selling online as soon as possible.

What we did

For the purposes of speed, we used an off-the-shelf Shopify theme and tailored it to match the Vital Assist branding, bringing in things like brand colours, brand typography and making use of all the pre-built features Shopify provides - like email newsletter signup, socials, promotions and discounts.

The most challenging aspect of the project was the currency switcher to allow the store to trade in the UK and Ireland markets, which have differences in the way VAT is calculated and added to orders.

The site was up and running and taking orders in a matter of weeks and following their Shopify training the client has taken over full ownership and management of the store, even modifying the theme and adding a blog section without any assistance from us which demonstrates just how flexible and easy-to-use Shopify is.

If you’re considering entering the world of e-commerce with your own online store, give us a call or drop us an email.

We have worked with Enovate on four websites now, and our experience with them has always been excellent. Our Vital Assist website was another project where they took our ideas, understood the look and feel we were trying to achieve and turned them into a website that works beautifully for the brand. They are friendly, approachable and incredibly efficient, and we always felt involved throughout the process. Having a team we can trust to deliver exactly what we need has been invaluable, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with Enovate again.

Our approach

A proven process tailored to this project's unique requirements.

Discovery

We start by understanding your goals, audience, and constraints. Through workshops and research, we define the project scope and success criteria.

Strategy & wireframing

We map out the user journey and information architecture. Low-fidelity wireframes let us test ideas quickly before committing to design.

UX/UI design

Visual design that balances aesthetics with usability. We create interfaces that look great and guide users effortlessly toward their goals.

Development

Clean, well-documented code built on proven frameworks. We develop iteratively, sharing progress regularly so you're never in the dark.

Quality assurance & launch

Applications and integration-heavy builds ship with automated test suites, and every project is checked across devices and browsers before it goes live. We handle deployment and keep the launch itself uneventful.
