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.

Design for Funnels
Server-side Attribution
If you run paid media on Google, Meta, TikTok or LinkedIn, a website redesign should be treated as a conversion project - not a visual refresh. A redesign that prioritizes advertising performance aligns creative, UX, tracking and funnel logic so impressions convert into measurable, profitable revenue. This guide explains how to create a website redesign for online advertising with US-focused examples and practical steps.
Before changing layouts or colors, audit current ad performance, landing page metrics and tracking. Pull last 90-180 days of data from ad platforms and your analytics-look for landing page conversion rates, session quality by campaign, and discrepancies between platform-reported conversions and backend revenue. For Shopify and WooCommerce stores, reconcile orders in the backend with Google Ads and Meta events to quantify attribution gaps.
A redesign must support the funnel stages that your ad strategy targets. Use clear landing page roles: awareness pages (TOF), product/category pages (MOF), and conversion pages (BOF). Prioritize speed and signal fidelity on BOF pages where attribution matters most.
| Funnel Stage | Primary Goal | Design/Tracking Focus |
|---|---|---|
| TOF | Engagement and list capture | Fast-loading hero, clear value prop, measured micro-conversions |
| MOF | Consideration and product detail | Persuasive content, enhanced analytics for product interactions |
| BOF | Purchase or lead submission | Server-side conversions, accurate revenue attribution |
| Client Browser | GTM (Client) | GTM Server | Analytics / Ads Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| User interacts → click | Event fired (purchase, lead) | Server processes and enriches event (order ID, revenue) | GA4, Google Ads, Meta receive deduplicated conversions |
If you need a reference for which services typically support this stack, see Prebo Digital's Services overview for tracking, CRO and development capabilities. To align your redesign with broader brand goals and company positioning, review your organization’s messaging on the Prebo Digital homepage.
Quick tip: Treat the redesign as a staged experiment. Ship BOF tracking and minimal UX improvements first, so ad performance doesn’t drop while you iterate on TOF creative and MOF content.
Design decisions should reduce friction for ad-driven users. That means slim, focused landing pages for paid campaigns, consistent messaging from ad to page, and clear primary CTAs on mobile-first layouts. Use design tokens and component libraries so future ad variants are quicker to build and test.
Accurate attribution is a core objective of a redesign for advertising. Implement GTM client + server containers, pass order IDs and revenue to the server container, and deduplicate client and server events in downstream systems. For Shopify and WooCommerce stores, instrument backend order webhooks so revenue events are canonical and resilient to browser restrictions.
| Step | What to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Client event | Click id, user interactions | Captures behavioral signals for remarketing |
| Server event | Order ID, revenue, deduplication key | Authoritative revenue attribution |
Test tracking in a staging environment and validate events against backend order data. Run A/B tests for headline and CTA variants on BOF pages and monitor incremental CAC and LTV impact. Use server-side logs to validate that revenue matches platform-reported conversions within an acceptable tolerance (for example, within a single-digit percentage range), noting that exact parity is unlikely due to attribution differences.
In the United States, ensure your redesign respects state privacy rules such as CCPA where applicable, provides clear cookie consent, and documents data flows. For advertising measurement, prefer privacy-centric configurations (first-party cookies, server-side consent checks) and include an accessible privacy policy that explains tracking for ad measurement.
A redesign aligned to ad performance is a systems effort: design, engineering, analytics and media teams must coordinate around shared KPIs. If you want to understand how these components map to a growth retainer or project scope, review Prebo Digital's approach to combined analytics and development in the About page, or reach out to discuss specifics via the contact page.
See a real-world example by comparing pre- and post-redesign metrics: track CAC, website conversion rate and MER over a 60-90 day window to evaluate whether the redesign reduced friction and improved attributable revenue.
