Find answers to common questions
We build Shopify and WooCommerce sites with a technical-first approach that combines user experience, conversion-rate optimisation, and back-end analytics to support revenue-focused outcomes and scalable growth.
We implement GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side tracking, and data pipeline practices (ETL) to reduce signal loss and align marketing metrics with actual revenue and customer journeys.
CRO is integrated throughout design and development: we use quantitative analytics and A/B testing to identify friction, iterate page layouts and copy, and prioritise changes that increase revenue per visitor.
Design decisions are evaluated by measurable impacts on conversion rate, average order value, customer lifetime value, and acquisition cost, with priorities set to improve profitability rather than vanity metrics.
We handle both new builds and redesigns as well as migrations, performance optimisation, and technical debt remediation while preserving or improving revenue-critical tracking and integrations.

Revenue-first builds
Tracking & attribution
Platform fit
Retail leaders and Shopify or WooCommerce store owners choose website development solutions that do more than look good - they drive revenue, reduce customer acquisition cost (CAC), and enable reliable attribution. The best website development solutions for retail businesses prioritize conversion rate optimisation (CRO), server-side tracking, fast checkout flows, and integrations with payments and marketing stacks like Stripe and Klaviyo.
Prebo Digital combines a technical-first development approach with measurable marketing strategy to deliver websites built for long-term profitability. That includes a focus on clean analytics pipelines (GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side tracking), funnel optimisation (TOF → MOF → BOF), and platform choices that match your use case.
| Platform | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | Fast-to-market retail stores, subscription products | Managed hosting, strong app ecosystem; ideal when paired with headless storefronts for performance |
| WooCommerce (WordPress) | Highly custom catalog, B2B retail, content-driven commerce | Flexible but needs performant hosting and proper caching strategy |
| Headless / Custom | Brands with complex integrations or omni-channel experiences | Higher upfront cost; designed to scale revenue through tailored user journeys |
Choosing between these options depends on volume, average order value (AOV), and desired control over storefront performance. For example, a US-based retail brand with $80 AOV and a goal to lower CAC by 20% often benefits from a headless or well-optimised Shopify build paired with server-side tracking to recover attributed conversions lost to browser restrictions.
At the strategy stage we map your funnel (TOF → MOF → BOF), identify friction points, and estimate revenue impact. Typical investments for a high-performing retail site build in the United States range from $15,000-$80,000 depending on customisation, integrations, and headless architecture - estimates that aim to trade upfront cost for predictable, scalable revenue outcomes.

Strategy: define KPIs tied to revenue (MER, LTV:CAC, AOV) and map required integrations (payments, CRM, email). Build: implement a conversion-first theme, one-click checkouts, and server-side event pipelines using GA4 and GTM. Test: run controlled experiments on the checkout funnel and product pages to improve conversion rates. Scale: connect performance media with clean attribution. Report: deliver attribution clarity through custom dashboards that show true revenue impact by channel.

A mid-market US retailer moved from a standard Shopify theme to a headless storefront with server-side tracking. Within six months the brand recovered attributed conversions previously lost to browser attribution limits and achieved a measurable reduction in CAC versus baseline. Results are dependent on initial traffic mix and investment levels; this example is illustrative and not a promise of results.
Implementation note: choosing managed hosting or a content delivery network (CDN) and enforcing image compression and critical CSS delivery are low-friction optimisations that materially improve conversion metrics.
Typical engagements include a discovery sprint, a phased build (MVP → optimisation), monthly optimisation retainers, and reporting. Monthly retainers commonly cover CRO, performance media alignment, and tracking maintenance - priced to support ongoing revenue growth rather than one-off builds. Pricing and scope vary by needs and integrations.
