Structured Shopify migration process with full platform audit

Shopify Migration Process

Replatforming feels like a big step. We start with a full platform audit, mapping performance, integrations and where you’re heading next.

From there it’s a structured Shopify migration: product and customer data, theme development, checkout optimisation. As a Shopify agency in Manchester, we’ve done this often enough to know where it usually goes wrong.

An Aero Commerce to Shopify migration that paid off

Robinsons of Bawtry were held back by Aero Commerce, a platform that couldn’t keep up with their ambition. They needed a clean move to something built to scale.

We migrated them to Shopify and kept optimising from there. Online revenue grew by more than 500%, with conversion and traffic climbing alongside it. A migration that became a growth story.

That’s the point of replatforming. A foundation for everything that comes next.

I worked with Actuate on the redevelopment of the Pickett London website. Their team is an excellent asset for any company or team, it was a pleasure to work with them – easy to communicate with, easy to reach and always willing to help.

Without Actuate’s help and support, our original website wouldn’t have succeeded. Time was of the essence, and Actuate stepped in to deliver a swift turnaround. The new site has performed exceptionally well ever since. We continue to grow thanks to Actuate. ❤️ Thanks guys!”

“What impressed us most was how quickly Actuate identified the root cause. Within the first call they’d spotted the metadata issue that had been tanking our traffic. Everything that followed has been just as sharp.”

Mitch Tamcken
AutoID
 

We’ve worked with Actuate for several years and the results have been consistent. Conversion rate up 113%, AOV up, bounce rate down. They know our business inside out, and it shows.

I like working with Actuate because they care about what they do, they clarify the detail to get the job done right.  They have worked incredibly hard with our complex needs and have been on hand for help and advice every step along the way…
