If you’re in the business of online stores or ecommerce websites, chances are Shopify has popped up somewhere on your radar. It’s no surprise! Shopify is a full cloud-based ecommerce platform launched in 2006 and has since achieved pretty dizzying success. It’s used by more than 1 million businesses around the world and has become one of the more popular platforms out there. So why is Shopify our number one pick for online stores?

As a hosted ecommerce website and shopping cart application solution, there’s so much going for Shopify. It’s a natural go-to for small businesses and start ups as it handles everything required for online stores from end to end. Think marketing, payments, inventory, shipping, monitoring across multiple channels, customer relationships, data analytics – and more.

We’ve worked on hundreds of fantastic online stores. Here are just some examples.

Alfie’s Feast

This client came to us seeking out the services of Shopify experts. The Confetti team worked with this inspiring creator of homemade and nutrional dog meals on a number of fronts. These included delivering the website’s custom design and graphics, art direction on photography and custom functionality for sample packs and order thresholds. Our partner agency, Grizzle Design, was the creative fuel behind the graphic and package aesthetics. The result, a beautifully responsive and on-point online store. More here

miei custom design and build Shopify social enterprise

When it comes to a business that’s a force for good, look no further than the uplifting miei. (formerly Miei Fiori). With a 100%-net-profit-to-charity model, this Certified B Corporation florist needed an ecommerce website that would tell its story as a social enterprise, pop off the page and be easy for consumers to navigate. Enter Confetti Design, Shopify experts in Melbourne’s bayside area. This project involved a long and complex build, but yielded amazing results for miei. We built extensive custom functionality for the donation tally, product variations, navigation sorting and the subscription set up. Again, we drew on the talents of our partner agency, Grizzle Design for the graphic and package design. See for yourself
