As a partner in Angel Acres Food Club, we sought a seamless, integrated online shopping experience for our customers on Shopify Plus, consolidating our offerings spread across four independent websites. Partnering with Arctic Grey has proven to be an outstanding decision. Though we're still early in the process, I’m highly impressed with their structured and organized approach to building what we envision as a best-in-class website. 

Having run my own companies and managed large-scale projects, I've seen a range of project management styles. Arctic Grey, and particularly Autumn, stand out for their professionalism and precision. Autumn brings expertise and engagement that makes each interaction productive and aligned with our goals. Their excellent project management tools allow for detailed tracking and clear status updates.

We wanted a company that was well versed in Shopify and would be able to guide us in design decisions but also in the best improvements to be made to our site.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project started with our desktop website. We went through the home page and product pages in detail to assess the best way to improve their design and user-friendliness. We worked on adding new features like pop up pages and recommended products to the website pages and updating older features like favoriting products.

Once the desktop site was mostly done, we began working on the mobile site - again, going through the homepage and product pages to make them more user friendly. We also worked on some of the additional pages like our history page and we worked on improving the website speed as well.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked directly with 2 members of the team who met with us over virtual meetings and communicated with us over email. There was also a team of developers that worked with them behind the scenes.

Our website has improved drastically. It is aesthetically much nicer and the layout of the pages is better organized. The speeds have improved as well and we have been able to add some additional features like favoriting features, wishlist features, and suggested products that make our website more user friendly and more dynamic.

The workflow was extremely effective. The team was amazing at staying in contact with us and constantly updating us on the progress of projects. They were always responsive to emails and punctual and well prepared for virtual meetings.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Arctic Grey, Ltd.?

We had built out a design for our website that we needed to implement. The challenge was to implement it in the most cost effective way without sacrificing quality, and to launch it in the shortest amount of time possible.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to have a beautiful, functional website up and running quickly. Also, a website that was easily editable by our team on the front end, as we aren't experts with code.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They helped build out our new design for our Shopify website, for desktop and mobile. We handed over a design mockup of what we wanted and they quickly built out the code and transformed it into a real working site! As with all projects, there were multiple rounds of QA and testing. They always responded and worked extremely quickly, making the entire process stress free.

What was the team composition?

We had a team of 3 people doing the QA and testing on this proejct. I'm not sure how many developers they had working on it (probably at least a few!); Anthony was my one and only main point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

This is N/A just yet.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We had one main point of contact (Anthony) for the entire project, which made communication easy. He was very thorough with addressing all the points we had in the many emails we sent. He was also extremely quick in getting back to us. Excellent project management all in all.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The efficiency and turnaround time for their work was impressive. The quality is extremely good. Their willingness and ability to make everything work and implement nice-to-have features, even as we clearly went way above the budgeted hours, was mind blowing. For a project like ours, it would have easily went 2-4x the budget, had we gone with another vendor partner.

Are there any areas for improvement?

N/A.

After Arctic Grey helped me create the design for my website, they developed the platform from scratch. For the e-commerce functionality, they built a straightforward, uncomplicated Shopify tool so users can find specific products.

In addition to development, Arctic Grey provided guidance on best practices for social media. They gave me tips on how to reach my target audience and how to optimize my marketing campaigns.

I work primarily with Anthony (Administrative Director, Arctic Grey, Ltd.).

They’ve been great at managing the project. They respond to all of my emails and we speak at least once a week. They’re available for further site development whenever it’s needed and they track all progress.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their transparent, proactive approach to the collaboration makes them easy to work with. I appreciated the various options they presented me for how the site could look. They helped me figure out what I really wanted and then delivered it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although this is a struggle for all companies, I wish there were more proven, guaranteed marketing strategies.
