First Pier is a Shopify-exclusive ecommerce agency helping consumer brands doing $500K–$15M build, optimize, and grow. Strategy, development, CRO, paid media, Klaviyo email & SMS, SEO, and analytics — one senior team, under one roof.

- Platform migrations (WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce → Shopify)
- Conversion Revenue Optimization — bigger swings than button-color A/B tests

About Viand Mercantile
Viand Mercantile is a beloved home goods boutique in Portland, Maine. Founded by Jenny Bravo in 2020, Viand started online as Viand Vintage, showcasing curated props from Jenny’s career as a commercial food photographer and stylist.

### Branding & Shopify Migration for Portland Florist
About Field Floral Studio:
Field Floral Studio is a Portland, Maine-based floral design studio founded in 2013 by Megan Havenor. Specializing in artful, seasonally driven arrangements and wedding florals, Field partners with Maine flower farms to create distinctive designs that prioritize local materials and sustainable practices.
 
Problems We’ve Solved:
Field had been growing organically for over a decade with an underbuilt Squarespace presence that wasn’t keeping pace with their artistic vision or business ambitions. Following a comprehensive rebrand—including brand positioning, logo development, color palette, typography, and pattern development—we migrated Field to Shopify, bringing their maximalist aesthetic to life online. Orders and inquiries increased almost immediately, and the stage was set for future development—flower subscriptions, enhanced a la carte wedding ordering, and continued growth.
