I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years in the online world – this coming from a business that has been doing e-commerce stores for close on 26 years.
Building e-commerce stores was a long and arduous process, connecting third-party shopping carts to payment solutions and custom-built customer relationship management software.
This was back in the day when having an online store made you a tech pioneer!
But technology has moved on, customer patience has evaporated, and that once-cutting-edge site is now the digital equivalent of a flip phone: technically it still works, but nobody’s impressed.
Shopify Migrations On The Rise
Shopify migrations have become one of the most requested jobs on our desk at Tailored Media.
We’ve watched tired old ecommerce sites get a new lease on life, and the results speak for themselves — better shopping experience, better marketing performance, better search rankings, better everything, really.
Including the all-important conversions.
It’s because shoppers expect pages to load approximately instantly, navigation to be intuitive, checkout to be frictionless (sooooooo important), and the whole experience to work beautifully on a phone screen the size of a chocolate bar.
Google agrees with them too, quietly punishing slow, clunky sites in the search rankings.
Older platforms weren’t built for this world. They creak. They need constant babysitting with updates, patches, developers on speed dial – just to stay standing.
Shopify has become the platform of choice for good reason: its reliable, secure, scales without drama, and lets business owners actually run their business instead of playing IT support for their own website.
Some of the upgrades we consistently see once a business makes the switch:
- Genuinely fast performance
- A far better mobile experience
- Easier product management
- Secure hosting with automatic updates
- A huge library of apps and integrations
- Painless inventory and order management
- A checkout process that doesn’t scare customers off (again, super critical)
- Lower ongoing maintenance costs
Conversion Rates Have Always Increased
The most important bit about Shopify is that we see conversion rates have increased every time we migrate a site to the platform.
Shopify poured serious effort into smoothing every single step of the customer journey and it pays off at the checkout.
And when you’re talking sizable sales like some of our clients, it can mean a lot of extra $$.
