Storefronts that answer the objection before the checkout.
Three consumer-health brands, live in the US, running on commerce mechanics we built: quiz-led recommendation, subscription, bundle ladders, loyalty. The catalogue is never the hard part. Getting a first-time visitor to the right two products is.
A visitor who cannot tell which of forty SKUs is theirs will leave. Recommendation converts where browsing does not.
For a consumable product, subscription is the retention engine — so plan management belongs in-account, not buried in an email.
A discount ladder applied at the cart does the merchandising, so you stop paying for a banner to do it.
The specific things we build under this.
Concern-led merchandising
Navigation by problem and regimen rather than SKU type, so a visitor lands on a routine instead of a shelf. This is the single highest-leverage change on most catalogues.
Recommendation engines
An assessment that maps symptoms, goals and history onto the catalogue and returns a personalised regimen — with an incentive attached, because the answers are worth paying for.
Subscription systems
Auto-delivery with real plan management: skip, swap, pause, change cadence. Churn happens where the cancel flow is the only thing that works.
Bundle and offer logic
Tiered discounting evaluated in the cart, multi-step regimens sold as one unit, and gift-with-purchase rules that do not require a developer to change.
Loyalty and rewards
Points that accrue somewhere the customer can see, welcome bonuses that make account creation a reason rather than a friction step, and tiering that survives contact with finance.
Trust and guarantee surfaces
Money-back guarantees, shipping thresholds, certifications and formulation evidence placed at the point of decision instead of decorating a footer nobody reads.
Performance on real phones
Image-heavy category pages tuned for a mid-range Android on a bad connection, which is where this traffic actually lands and where a slow gallery quietly costs the sale.
Analytics that answer questions
Funnel and cohort instrumentation wired at build time, so you can tell which of the above earned its keep instead of guessing at the end of the quarter.
What we hold to, whatever the brief says.
Core Web Vitals as a budget
Performance is a number agreed at the start and defended in CI, not something discovered during the launch review.
Payments that fit the market
Card, wallet and local rails wired for the geography you actually sell in, with the failure paths handled rather than assumed away.
PCI-safe by construction
Card data never touches our surface. Tokenised throughout, with the boring, auditable version of every flow.
Indexable by default
Server-rendered product and collection pages, clean canonicals, structured data — organic is too expensive to retrofit.

Where we've done this before.
Before you ask.
Do we have to replatform?
Usually not. Most of the gain is in merchandising, the recommendation layer and performance, all of which can be built on the platform you already pay for.
Can you work with our existing agency?
Yes. We are frequently the engineering half next to an existing brand or performance team, and we are comfortable owning only the parts we are best at.
How long before it is live?
A focused scope — quiz, subscription or a merchandising rebuild — is typically four to eight weeks. A full storefront is longer and we will say so before you commit.
Need e-commerce platforms?
Tell us the problem rather than the solution. We will tell you whether this is the right service for it, including when it isn't.
