How many teammates from DigitlHaus Agency were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We have been a long time Big Commerce customer and wanted to switch to Shopify.  Digital Haus was amazing.  We added a layer of complexity with a different vendor who connected our POS system to Shopify.  They designed our website and stayed on schedule and allowed ample feedback opportunities

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

New website not only looks beautiful, it was customized for our needs and works properly.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was fantastic.  Just the perfect amount of communication. Not too little, not too much.  They listened to our needs and addressed them in a timely manner.  I was only speaking to my project manager which was in the US and native english speaker and that was really important to me as well.   Everything was delivered on-time.  In fact, I had 2 trips during the project and they were very accomodating with my schedule and stayed on our timeline.  In fact, we were able to launch a little earlier (which was my goal) and they helped to make it happen!

What was your primary form of communication with DigitlHaus Agency?

Email or Messaging App

This page features each class with a description of the class or workshop, teacher bios, and photos of teacher works.

What is the team composition?

BACKGROUND

I’m the marketing director for The Celina Company, a tent and fabric structure manufacturer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DigitlHaus Agency?

We needed to revamp our e-commerce website to improve our Google visibility, enhance the UX, and give us more options to continue growing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DigitlHaus Agency has helped us with redesigning and developing our website. The team has built a new theme from scratch on top of our existing product infrastructure for our BigCommerce site, focusing on our specific needs. DigitlHaus Agency has used Figma to send us the design proofs.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 10–15 teammates from DigitlHaus Agency, including their CEO, a project manager, a design manager, and an SEO team.

How did you come to work with DigitlHaus Agency?

We found DigitlHaus Agency on Google. We needed someone who was an expert in BigCommerce. We needed someone who understood our problem and how to fix it without suggesting a full rebuild, including our product library. In our initial conversations, DigitlHaus Agency understood our problem, reviewed our backend, and offered us a customized solution that wasn't off-the-shelf.

How much have you invested with them?

We've invested around $60,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2025. Our relationship has evolved from a one-time project into an ongoing partnership, and we're about to sign a maintenance contract with DigitlHaus Agency.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since launching our new website, our organic visits have increased by 250% year-over-year. Before launching the new site, we were failing every single metric on Google Site Speed. Now, we're passing both mobile and desktop regarding our core site vitals. Additionally, our domain authority has also increased from 66 to 74.

How did DigitlHaus Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

DigitlHaus Agency has consistently delivered on time and within budget and communicated well with us 100% of the time. We use Basecamp for project management and communication. We also meet on Google Meet every 2–3 weeks, depending on the project's status. However, we've had a month or two without meetings because DigitlHaus Agency has been deeply invested in development.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We're impressed by how DigitlHaus Agency heard us at the front end. We explained our specific problem and the specific actions we needed to take. We have a lot of customization on our website because it works hand-in-hand with our ERP. DigitlHaus Agency hasn't tried to force us into a solution that doesn't meet our needs.

We've spoken to numerous other providers who have advised me to use Shopify, but we've already invested a quarter of a million dollars in customizing this integration, so that's out of the question. DigitlHaus Agency has met us where we are and worked with our problem set without pulling us in a different direction for their own sake.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We've had to do a plus-up towards the end of the project, which is fine. DigitlHaus Agency informed us that some pages wouldn't be migrated and that an additional fee would be required if we wanted to migrate them. If DigitlHaus Agency takes a full stock of the website before jumping into the project and tells us how much everything will cost, that would be an improvement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate clearly what you want, and DigitlHaus Agency will deliver.

What challenge were you trying to address with DigitlHaus Agency?

We needed help with the design and development of our new Shopify website.

DigitlHaus Agency helped us create a website that would provide a better shopping experience for our customers. The team handled the pre-design and strategy phases. Then, they designed the home page, collection page templates, and master landing page template.

After that, they moved on to the pre-development phase. From there, they did the frontend and backend development, custom features, and custom apps. The team also did quality assurance and testing. They coordinated meetings with any third-party services we needed, such as Gorgias and Return Logic. They also assisted in providing information regarding these additional services.

What is the team composition?

We had one main contact, Hannah (Project Manager), and several others who worked along with her on various parts of the project.

How did you come to work with DigitlHaus Agency?

We found them through a referral from Shopify. We chose them because they were the best fit for what we needed. They also had experience with other third parties that were needed for a smooth transition to Shopify. They seemed to be the most organized, and they had clear communication about what was required to build the site we wanted.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August 2024–June 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The experience was good. They managed the timeline and development of the new site very efficiently. The team was responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and Hannah always responded very quickly. We primarily communicated through email and Basecamp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The overall project organization was impressive. The tasks for our teams were easy to follow. If we didn't understand a task or exactly what was needed, we were always given thorough instructions on how to complete it.

Are there any areas they could improve?
No

We needed help updating our theme, redesigning our website and ongoing BigCommerce support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DigitlHaus Agency updated our theme and redesigned our website, making it an evolution of our previous site. The goal was to make the site look and feel more modern. To achieve this, we updated the colors, created a new homepage, revamped the landing pages, and increased backend functionality. Additionally, the team provided SEO services and big-coach support along the way.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–4 teammates from DigitlHaus Agency.

How did you come to work with DigitlHaus Agency?

We were referred to DigitlHaus Agency by another agency. The team came off as confident and trustworthy and had our best interests in mind.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from spring 2024–2025. The full year was due to some changes on our end, and the engagement is ongoing with BigCommerce support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen increased user functionality and a more modern look and feel. Our team loves the new look and feel of the site. They also like that we can control more on the homepage, which has increased sales for one of our business units. Additionally, we’ve seen a decreased bounce rate.

How did DigitlHaus Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

DigitlHaus Agency delivered on time and responded well to our needs. The team had fast response times when it was crunch time, and we always knew what was going on. We held weekly touchpoints, which helped keep the project moving.

What did you find most impressive about them?

DigitlHaus Agency was able to help and guide us through all of our questions. The design process was super buttoned up, and the team delivered a look and feel that we loved, which came to life really well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We had a few bumps in the road when they delivered some design features that required extra development time. However, we worked through that and ended up in a place that we all felt good about.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

DigitlHaus performed SEO, UI/UX audits, and offered a comprehensive report on what is working well, what needed improvement. From there, we were able to work with DH directly to determine what aspects of the report should be prioritized. When we provided them our list of desired improvements, they offered cost estimates up front before starting the project. 

Their design team worked with us to create a refreshed and more user friendly look and feel on our site. Their project managers were very helpful at keeping us on task and moving forward. Once were felt comfortable with design and function updates, we approved for their development team to move forward on implementation. 

Occasionally the design and dev needed a few tweaks and itereations - these requests and changes have always been met with support and respect for our needs. DigitlHaus has also been doing our site theme updates a few times per year for the last several years. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are still in the process of launching our newly updated site and will be watching our conversion metrics to see how this project impacts sales. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

DigitalHaus and specifcally our project manager Zach, have always been really fast to respond to any questions, concerns or project approvals. Helpful, fast, kind, great to work with! Whenever they are waiting on our team for deliverables to move a project forward, they send gentle reminders as needed to keep us on task and making progress.

What was your primary form of communication with DigitlHaus Agency?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Having a dedicated point of contact / project manager is fantastic and the support team around him is also very helpful and quick to respond if needed. They are great to work with and are always on top of things.

Are there any areas for improvement or something DigitlHaus Agency could have done differently?

When we first started working with DH years ago, it took awhile for us to figure out how to effectively use them to complete big projects. For small design tweaks, sometimes there is a little more process than it's work (having to request a quote and have a SOW written up and approvals etc. before they can make a simple change such as "can this button be blue". I understand they have their process and overall it is a better way to do big projects!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the E-Commerce and Marketing manager of Precision Camera, a photography retail store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire DigitlHaus Agency, and what were your goals?

We hired DigitlHaus to help do some website fixes, run 404 error reports and restructure a few of our pages. Since then we have hired them several times for small projects. They restructured out blog page, made a few small changes to our menu and helped to create a seamless form for customers to inquire about camera rentals. In this project we hoped to make information more accessible to visitors, and make our rental form work better.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Precision Camera has been using Digitlhaus since before I have been working here. We know that they are quick communicators and that they are very reliable so we have chosen to continue working with them for numerous projects.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We reached out via email and they sent us a scope of work document, we agreed on what changes were needed and Digitlhaus completed each task in a timely manner.

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

We worked with a project manager, a tech strategist, a creative director and the president of sales and operations on our site support projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our rentals department has consistently had a 40% increase in inquiries since the project, showing that the rental form is working well. Our blog page has also had an increase of users plus more site interactions per user visiting that page.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Larger decisions were made with both teams via email, smaller project activity was run through Basecamp. They were extremely timely and were quick to give me an email if I missed a basecamp notification.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their communication skills stand out the most. They kept us in the loop upon decisions and completion of each task. The second most impressive thing was timeliness. They always give us a timeframe and stick to it.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing comes to mind.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the digital strategist for Red Apple Fireworks. We’re a premier fireworks brand in the US. We do a lot of exclusively private-label fireworks.

It’s a family business, but I was brought on by one of the brothers to help with an e-commerce site. He wanted to bring their products online with a striking website that allowed for shipping fireworks and in-store pickup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DigitlHaus Agency?

Before I came on board, the first site was built on Magento 2. It turned into a challenging project for a small team. We did well with our first season, but we saw a lot of shortcomings with the platform and its design.

I reached out to DigitlHaus Agency to work with us on the e-commerce site.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We approached them with a rough Photoshop outline that included what we felt were some of the best features of top tier e-commerce sites. We asked for them to infuse the rough outlay with something original in terms of design and colors. 

Our product box graphics are some of the best in the industry, so we wanted a site that could match the striking parts of our products. The team worked on the front and backend of the site.

What is the team composition?

Our contacts are Tara (President of Sales & Operations) and Brandon (Creative & Strategy Director).

How did you come to work with DigitlHaus Agency?

I was tasked with researching SaaS e-commerce platforms. We decided that BigCommerce was the best fit. After deciding on the platform, I looked at the providers that could build a new website.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested less than $50,000.  

What is the status of this engagement?

We established our relationship with them in late fall 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The first set of work was finished in April 2019. We delayed launching the site because we’re a small team and wanted to work on it more during the offseason. It launched a year later. Subsequently, we’ve upgraded the site with traffic optimization and other features.

We’ve been tracking the metrics. Our conversion rate increased by 275%. We’ve had increases in revenue, traffic, and users. We went from the Magento 2 platform that had a decent design to the BigCommerce platform with an industry-leading web site built on top of that. We’ve seen our customer base resonate with the new design.

How did DigitlHaus Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

I feel like DigitlHaus Agency went above and beyond, doing an impressive job. They’re upfront with pricing. I’m very particular with my e-commerce development and design background. I would throw quite a few items at them in terms of frontend design, and they were cool with doing that.

DigitlHaus Agency felt passionate about the project. It was a good challenge for all of us to get out of our comfort zones. We were trying to do something profound in our industry for a relatively small budget, and they stepped up to the plate and delivered on that.  

They use Basecamp for updates and comments. We reply through that. We did email if needed, but it’s largely through that one system.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re particularly good at listening to what the client wants. I’ve noticed that in some cases, firms have expectations of what the client should already have, even if that’s not what the customer wants. DigitlHaus Agency’s team listened to our team’s input.

One of our co-founders wanted a striking, bold color theme. They listened to that, taking that idea to match it well with fireworks.

For the BigCommerce platform, we were doing things that not a lot of companies have done before. They were willing to put in the time to research how certain things were possible and go that extra mile to accomplish that. For some requests, they’re honest about it not working well. We needed that candidness.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They may want to use more phone calls rather than Basecamp. I always like to talk to people on the phone, but it can take a lot of their time. So that might be a decision for them when considering deadlines. Other than that, I was genuinely impressed with what they’re able to do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Provide as much of what your vision for that website should be to them. They’re great at finding the most valuable parts and delivering a product that exceeds your expectations. Don’t be scared to reference other websites and create basic mockups. We were very detailed, and they weren’t overwhelmed by that.
