We’re not your typical eCommerce agency; we’ve mastered our craft by first building our successful eCommerce platform from scratch. We now work with Centra and Shopify Plus eCommerce platforms.
We don’t do cookie-cutter user experiences! As a design & UX-first eCommerce agency, our award-winning websites reflect your brand's personality and goals so you stand out from the competition.
We’ve achieved a 7-year average client partnership and delivered over 400 eCommerce projects by first understanding how you define success and then integrating all your needs and ambitions into our work!
Our rich technical heritage has imbued our fully in-house agency team with lateral thinking and a problem-solving attitude. We use this to maintain best practices while developing eCommerce solutions.
We utilise data and research to support all our design and optimisation decisions. We focus on speed, accessibility, and usability to deliver engaging eCommerce experiences that drive conversions.
With 30 dedicated eCommerce experts, we’re small enough to care about the details but large enough to deliver complex eCommerce projects. And with staff churn under 10%, you’ll enjoy support tailored to your needs.
Our clients are typically ambitious brands looking to stand out from the crowd without compromising on either form or function. Determined to grow faster, their annual revenue tends to start from £5 million.
In terms of verticals, our eCommerce agency clients range from fashion and beauty, homewares and gifts, to sports, outdoors, food and drink. Read more about our clients here.
Unsurprisingly, the overall costs will largely depend on the complexity of the eCommerce design and build. After a quick, obligation-free chat about your eCommerce project requirements, we can give you a ballpark starting price for your project. Typically, our design and build projects start at £80,000. From there, we can put together a detailed proposal with specific estimated costs for the whole project (see details on project proposals below).
The time from discovery to launch will significantly depend on your specific eCommerce project requirements. After discussing this with you, we’ll prepare a full proposal, including timescales tailored to your eCommerce project. Generally, for a more complex project, we typically estimate a nine month timescale.
After contacting us to discuss your requirements, we’ll respond with a detailed project proposal covering key areas like:
blubolt services and processes. We’ll explain what we do, how we do it, and who does it! In short, you’ll know what’s happening at every project stage, from discovery, design, and build to UAT and launch.
Project inclusions. We’ll advise what eCommerce services are included (like technical and design workshops, frontend build, and data migration, to name a few), as well as the specific website pages and integrations included within the project scope.
Costs. We’ll give you a clear breakdown of proposed costs for items like the design and build, retainer-only and optimisation services, and eCommerce platform fees.
Timings. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe for the eCommerce project completion.
We’ll chat through the proposal on a video call, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet the team and ask as many questions as you like! Naturally, you’ll need time to process the information afterwards, but we’re on hand for any follow-up queries you may have.
We certainly can! Our growth and optimisation packages - which form your bluprint for success with blubolt - can be tailored to your specific needs and include:
Growth packages. We can take over managing your existing eCommerce website and provide services like website development, design refreshes, and partner recommendations, as well as deliver ad hoc project work. Our thorough onboarding process means you’ll hit the ground running. We’ll organise your website code into our super-sleek blubolt folder structure, whereby each section of your code is broken down into smaller, consistently labelled folders. This becomes our pristine ‘source of truth’ so we can effectively and efficiently manage your website while keeping a clear record of changes. And, crucially, multiple blubolt developers can work on your eCommerce site without any confusion! Read more about our growth packages here.
Optimisation packages. Want to unlock your eCommerce site's full potential with our expert CRO insights and enhancements? With our entirely in-house team, you’ll enjoy a seamless end-to-end CRO service. We offer three optimisation packages - BluGrowth (starter), BluOptimisation (advanced), and BluData (monitoring) packages. Read more details on our optimisation packages here.
We have flexible working arrangements, so our team of eCommerce experts is based at home and at our fun and friendly office, located on the world-famous Queen’s Square in Bath, Somerset.
