Custom Apps

When the Shopify App Store doesn't have what your business needs, we build it. Custom apps add the exact functionality your store needs, without the monthly fees and bloat that come with off-the-shelf apps.

Built-In SEO

Your store is built to be found from day one, so it can gain organic traffic. Fast pages, tidy web addresses and the behind-the-scenes detail Google rewards are all part of the build, which means your store can earn traffic as well as converting it.

Beyond the Basics

Specialist Shopify Features

Every project starts with a brief built around your business goals to ensure your website ticks every box and has room to grow alongside you. This includes specialist functionality for your store - below are some of the common features we build, and how we handle them.

Can't thank Emma enough. She was so helpful from start to finish. I really had no idea what I was doing or even what I wanted. Emma rang several times and always checked in weekly with emails to help guide me in the process. I am so happy with the website — it looks amazing and I've had a lot of interest in my work and quite a few new clients since launching. She designed all my logos, colours, pictures and branding which look great. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

We're very pleased with the performance of our new website, with conversion rates up and orders from across the globe already. The web design is elegant while also loading under a couple of seconds. The site has been built to support the needs of our business as it grows internationally and brings together both our B2B and B2C areas. We are especially pleased with how well the website integrates with our wider systems, helping to streamline the way we manage our day-to-day ecommerce operations. Overall, the new website feels polished and professional - we are very happy with the result.

Emma and Miles built my website and set up my Google Business page. They got everything done quickly and the site looks great. Since then I’ve been getting regular leads online - wouldn’t have happened without them. Highly recommend!

Emma at Digital Otter has been absolutely amazing with helping to create my website, I had no clue where to start and she has made the most beautiful page perfect for my products and audience and was a completely seamless process, including check ins and working away in the background after discussing what I needed and within a short space of time it was pretty much ready. She took the stress of it completely off my hands.
