[FULL] Ecommerce Launchpad: 2-Day Masterclass (York)
16 Oct 2025
Ecommerce Launchpad – Launch an Ecommerce website over 2 days
This exciting project is designed for anyone who is ready to start selling online (Wix or Shopify). Two days, packed with workshops, tips, advice, and hackathons – where you’ll build your own website.
Working with a team of six professional developers and designers we’ll help you to build your own live website, ensuring you’re ready to sell online.
Along the way we’ll give you dozens of tips to set you up for success.
Day 1: 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 store before you start building, eliminating the stress of juggling content creation and web-design simultaneously.
Day 2: We head to the launchpad to build your online store – armed with all your great content. Together we’ll build a fully functioning ecommerce website that looks great and has everything you need to sell online.
By the end of this project, you won’t just have a plan—you’ll have a live, functional website ready to sell online.
FAQs
Why Wix and Shopify?
We can help you build a Shopify or Wix store in this launchpad. These are biggest and, in our opinion, are 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 stores – 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 Website… 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 website 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 website.
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 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 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 are free or very cheap to purchase (depending on choice).
If you already have Wix or Shopify account, that’s great – you can use this, there’s no need to get another account for the launchpad.
