Traverse is a Shopify Expert studio with a specialty in ecommerce strategy, UX consulting, and Shopify theme development & customization.
Whether I am building your website, creating custom ecommerce features, giving you tailored e-commerce advice, or connecting you with people that can help take your business to the next level, every project that I work on becomes my own; that means just as much ingenuity and attention to detail is given to your online presence as you pour into your business.
Communication, perspective, and understanding are key to smooth operation and growth. Taking the bigger picture into consideration when solving problems is a philosophy that I operate by for each an every client I work with.
I can look at your ecommerce related processes from start to finish and provide insight and advice on how to improve and optimize.
UX Reviews. Sitemaps. Structure. Strategy. Wireframes. Figuring out what is essential and non-essential. Asking "why" about everything.
I will dive deep into your products and goals and compare them against your current website, analyze your competitors, and do user testing and UX research to find a path to success.
I use the information gathered and perspective gained as a starting point for achieving your business goals.
Full-service custom theme design and development. Theme selection and setup. Customizations and improvements. Adding new features to existing themes on established shops. Project management and ongoing support.
I build things so my clients are empowered with the control and education necessary to make updates on their own. In the long run this is such a great experience that my clients come back again and again for bigger changes, improvements, and ideas.
Over the past few years I have helped a number of brands get started and take their businesses to the next level.
When you work with me you will get the attention to detail you would expect from a larger agency but with me as your single point on contact on all projects. No hoop jumping and disconnected project managers, and for a fraction of the cost.
I don’t advertise—I rely 100% on word of mouth and my clients continue to hire me and refer me to their friends because they are impressed with my approach, integrity, and the results.
