Both. Shopify makes sense for most DTC under $5M revenue. Custom builds for brands with specific UX, performance or differentiation needs.

Approach to ecommerce performance?

Core Web Vitals are non-negotiable on every build — LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS near zero.

Retention as well as acquisition?

Yes — ecommerce CAC has structurally risen and retention is where unit economics work. We design retention into product, email/SMS, and brand from day one.

How is pricing structured?

Services are priced individually on our pricing page. Most ecommerce clients combine brand, ecommerce site, ads and email/SMS.

How Makreate approaches Ecommerce & DTC Growth

Scope the outcome. Align the audience, commercial goal, constraints and measures of success before production starts.
Review the starting point. Use existing product, brand, campaign and performance evidence to prioritize the highest-leverage work.
Deliver and validate. Share work in clear stages, test the important assumptions and keep decisions tied to the agreed outcome.
Measure and improve. Document what shipped, what the evidence says and which next action is most likely to compound results.
