Dewsign has been developing bespoke ecommerce websites since 1999 and searched over many years for a hosted ecommerce platform that it could be confident in creating scalable digital businesses. Dewsign built its first Shopify website in 2015 for Origin Coffee – using the platform to incorporate coffee subscriptions and booking barista training – and has never looked back.

Quickly become a certified Shopify Expert agency, Dewsign now uses the fully hosted Shopify platform exclusively for all platform-based ecommerce websites with great results.

With custom developments, bespoke apps and middleware integration, the agency has delivered highly complex Shopify-based ecommerce sites to a range of businesses that are easy to manage, cost effective and hugely scalable at a global level.

 The ShopPop Top 20

With 2020’s ecommerce boom spurring on the growth of Shopify, ShopPop founder Jonas Van de Poel wanted to celebrate Europe’s leading talent and help Shopify merchants and other ecommerce businesses find them. The full list, from boutique Portuguese teams to full-service Dutch agencies can be viewed here.

Darren Williams, founder of Dewsign, said: “We are blown away and humbled to have earned a place among the top agencies in Europe. It is an honour for Dewsign to be listed alongside the most innovative and forward-thinking agencies in the industry. It’s also really nice to celebrate this during our 21st year in business.”

Why Dewsign uses Shopify

Dewsign has delivered numerous Shopify stores for both established companies and start-ups, and now uses Shopify exclusively for all non-bespoke platform-based ecommerce sites.

The agency has seen a large number of clients migrating from WordPress WooCommerce and Magento to Shopify. It is clear that Shopify has created a robust, scalable and dependable platform that is a joy for developers to use and easy for clients to build significant businesses within a very short space of time and with relatively low setup costs.

A great example of a migration from Magento to Shopify has been a new Shopify website Dewsign created for Scandinavian homeware brand Cloudberry Living. Their previous Magento website was coming to end of life, so after completing a brand refresh, Dewsign undertook a content migration and developed a custom theme to relaunch their online presence. Engagement, conversions and orders have rapidly increased and the results speak for themselves.

The most advanced Shopify website that Dewsign has built to date is for fertility consultancy IVF Matters. They required a complex integration between Shopify + Cliniko Practice Management + Hubspot + SendGrid. This project demonstrates the experience and ability of the Dewsign team to create bespoke Shopify App integrations with multiple SAAS applications. Each IVF Matters product configured within Shopify triggers a unique email template managed via SendGrid that links to specific content, questionnaires and associated calls-to-action that enable IVF Matters’ internal business process to be automated. Typically this type of multiple platform systems integration could only be achieved via bespoke development.

Ecommerce predictions for 2021

Dewsign believes 2021 will be the year that automation takes hold. Working with other platforms that complement Shopify, this evolving ecommerce ecosystem offers huge potential for global ecommerce and digital business development.

By automating business processes, communications and digital marketing activity, Dewsign’s clients are enjoying great results, becoming more efficient in their operations as well as increasing brand engagement, conversions and repeat business.

A great example of this is the significant engagement and sales generated through email automations and workflows on the Conscious Spaces website, a start-up business created by Dewsign.
