Start Selling Online! 

Ready to start selling online, but don’t know where to begin? The Ecommerce Launchpad is an intensive, two-day project designed for anyone ready to launch an online shop using Wix or Shopify.  

Over two days packed with workshops, tips, advice, and hackathons you’ll build your own online shop alongside a team of tech experts. You won’t just leave with a plan, you’ll leave with a live, functioning ecommerce website ready to sell online.

 

What to expect: 

• Guidance to choose the best platform (Wix vs. Shopify vs. Others).  

• Work directly with a team of four professional web designers and developers. 

• A photo booth to help get those perfect product images.  

• Hands-on workshops and hackathon sessions to build your own online shop.  

 

Who is this for?  

• Anyone brand new to selling online. 

• Businesses migrating from another online selling platform. 

• Existing Wix or Shopify users wanting to improve their online shop. 

• Businesses with physical or digital products to sell online. 

 

How does it work? 

Day 1: Content Prep: We focus on gathering, crafting, and testing all your essential content, descriptions, and media. We’ll ensure you have all the perfect “parts” for your online shop before you start building, eliminating the stress of juggling content creation and web-design simultaneously.  

Day 2 Build & Launch: Armed with all your great content, we head to the launchpad to build your fully functioning online shop. You can choose to go live immediately or stay in draft mode and launch when you’re ready.

FAQs 

 

Why Wix and Shopify?  

We can help you build a Shopify or Wix shop in this launchpad. These are the biggest and, in our opinion, the best site builders for most people looking to sell online.  

Our web development team works across many platforms – so we’ll explain the pros and cons of each platform (and the other choices out there) to help you choose the right one for you.  

 

Will this help if I’m selling products, services, downloads, or online courses? 

Absolutely, we can build all sorts of shops – from digital downloads to craft products. Provided you already have the product or service you want to sell, we can build the site you’ll use to promote and sell it. 

If you are looking to sell an online course or digital download but haven’t built it yet – get in touch with our team, and we can make sure this project is right for you. 

 

2 Days, A Live Online Shop… Really? 

It’s up to you when you launch your site for the world to see. 

We’ll build your site behind closed doors, ensuring we help with every important part of your ecommerce shop during the two days.  

You can go live during the two days or stay in draft mode and go live as part of a future launch campaign. Either way, we’ll make sure you’ll leave knowing all you need to know to launch your own online shop. 

 

I’m already selling online; will this help me? 

If you are already selling online but want to move to Wix or Shopify, then yes absolutely, we can help you build your new site and move products and content from your old site. 

If you’ve already started a Wix or Shopify site but want to improve it, chances are you’ll love this project but get in touch with the team to check if it’s right for you. 

If you are already a Wix or Shopify pro, this probably isn’t for you… but there are lots of great Steps into Digital courses on SEO, Ecommerce, etc. to check out.  

 

Do I need to buy a Wix or Shopify Account? 

You don’t need to have an account before coming to the launchpad. 

During the launchpad we’ll explain the pros and cons of each option, and the other competitors. Then you will need to create an account to start building your site. You will be able to use a trial account which is free or very cheap to purchase (depending on choice). 

If you already have a Wix or Shopify account, that’s great – you can use this, there’s no need to get another account for the launchpad.
