Realm Web Design built a Shopify e-commerce solution to supplement an online catalogue and enable direct-to-consumer sales. The project included back-end development, web integration and support.
The Shopify platform suits the company's needs and has facilitated expansion into new markets. It has sold double the amount of products expected. Realm Web Design accommodated a demanding schedule, adapted to meet new needs, and provided valuable advice and suggestions about the project.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Could you describe your company?
We're a consumer products wholesaler with operations based primarily in North America and Europe.
What is your position?
I'm the Director of IT.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What were your company's business challenge(s) for initiating the project with Realm Web Design?
We needed an eCommerce solution to augment our online product catelog and facilitate direct-to-consumer sales, which is something we'd never attempted before.
SOLUTION
Can you describe the scope of the project in terms of components: did it include custom design, development, training, support, etc.?
We use Shopify. This is kind of the Lego block approach to implementing e-commerce since the site really wasn’t designed on any kind of e-commerce platform. We use Shopify for our shopping cart and basically constructed a link from our primary site to Shopify, and then brought up a web services interface back to our ERP system. Realm did all of the work within Shopify platform for us. That included training, development, design, and support.
Is there any particular reason why chose Shopify as your preferred solution over some of its counterparts?
Yes, absolutely. The target launch date was June 1, so that gave us six months. Implementation speed was the number one priority. So we did a survey of several check-out, shopping cart alternatives – Shopify, Bigcommerce, Amazon, and there’s one other but I don’t remember off hand. Essentially, Shopify was the least flexible but the fastest to implement, so we ended up selecting it because of that.
How did you select Realm Web Design as your solution partner?
Once we decided on Shopify we reached out to too many, as far as I’m concerned, probably a half a dozen different Shopify design firms. Most of them like Realm are very small, and determining their viability and capabilities was challenging, but Realm by far was the most responsive and refreshingly honest as far as their capabilities and recommendations.
Could you give me a sense of the size of this project in either monetary terms?
The overall budget for the project was probably mid- to high-five figures, but I couldn’t tell you what the exact portion was.
When was this project completed?
The entire site went live on June 12 of this year.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
In terms of results, could you share any statistics or metrics that would demonstrate the effectiveness of the work that was delivered?
This project was not launched per se. We are a wholesale distributor. That is our core business. We are not aggressively attempting to disrupt our existing distribution channels. Many of our customers already sell online, so there is no thought in our head that we are going to displace them. We are selling at full retail price. Because we are a wholesale distributor we have never done direct consumer sales and so the idea was to start developing our capabilities and begin getting our feet wet with direct-to-consumer sales. I can tell you the number of units sold to date is probably around 500. That’s not super impressive, but we were not after high volume. That figure actually represents probably about twice what we were expecting.
How do you feel Realm Web Design performed on this project?
They’ve really been the least of my concerns. I had to juggle four other suppliers in order to get this all Lego blocked together. As I've mentioned, the reason we selected Realm was that they were very responsive and we felt very comfortable discussing the requirements and asking questions. The advice and recommendations they’ve provided have been vital.
In retrospect, are there any areas that you feel Realm could have improved upon or that you might do differently as the client before approaching this type of project?
Not really. The schedule was extremely aggressive and Realm was able to provide us with mock-up designs in order to support our design schedule, which was extremely compressed. They were also very responsive when changes came along. Honestly, the Shopify implementation was one of the smoothest, most fluid components of our entire initiative.

Realm Web Design implemented a Shopify e-commerce solution to increase sales. The project mainly involved template design, custom back-end development, web and database integration, and training.
The Shopify solution has greatly increased employee efficiency by automating processes and eliminating errors. Realm Web Design was proactive, transparent, and meticulous throughout the development process. The team's small size facilitated direct, productive communication with developers.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Could you briefly describe your company?
We are a merchandizing and apparel printing company.
What is your position in the company?
I’m the Business Development Manager.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
Could you describe the business challenge(s) that you were trying to address when you initiated the project Realm Web Design?
It was basically about distribution. We were able to produce more shirts than we could sell in a single day. We were running well below capacity and we wanted to utilize our full potential. That’s when we decided to go the way of ecommerce in order to enhance our sales and thus realize our full production capabilities.
SOLUTION
Why did you select Shopify as your preferred ecommerce solution?
Realm Web Design recommended Shopify to us based on our business needs. To me, they’re all sort of the same. I’d done some initial online research, but until you begin to use it for yourself, it’s very difficult to weigh the pros and cons of each system. So they recommended Shopify, because it was going to be the easiest to use and manage. That was going to be important because I didn’t want to spend a lot of time troubleshooting bugs and issues each day. I wanted a solution that could be installed, configured and deployed, without much overhead or oversight.
Could you share any statistics or metrics that would demonstrate the effectiveness of the work that they delivered to you?
We don’t really. We’re not really a direct-to-consumer business; we really focus on corporate clients. If anything, our process efficiency has been greatly increased. Our old system required even our repeat customers to submit custom order forms with our sales and support staff, which was tedious, prone to error, and remarkably time consuming. Shopify has basically automated that entire process for us. I wouldn’t say it’s been responsible for a large increase in sales volume, but rather the speed in which we can process our orders for customers and provide a valued service with greater efficiency.
Could you describe the scope of the project in terms of its components: did it include custom design, development, training, support, etc.?
It included six custom designs based off of premade templates. Once we selected the interface we preferred, it was integrated with our website and inventory database. They also trained us in backend maintenance and administration.
How did you select Realm Web Design as your solution partner?
It was based off of a recommendation.
Could youprovide a sense of the size of the initiative either in monetary terms or in the number of personnel dedicated to the project?
The project cost us approximately $10,000, which I thought was quite reasonable considering the amount of work provided.
When was this project competed?
The project remains ongoing because we’re in the process of making some updates and modifications, but the launch was complete about one month ago.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Do you think your selection of Shopify was the right decision?
I don’t have any complaints with the system thus far. It’s worked well and it’s been meeting our expectations and goals.
Is there anything you would consider unique or special about Realm Web Design as compared to other companies you might have worked with in the past?
I'm impressed with the level of accountability demonstrated by Realm Web Design. They’re not a terribly large firm, so their clients get a lot of quality contact time on- and off-site. I’ve never had to hound them to give me an update or complete a task. Everything is very organized, and when unanticipated issues arise, they’re the first to mention it and/or begin troubleshooting.
In retrospect, are there any areas that you feel they could improve upon or that you might do differently as a client before approaching this kind of project?
That same thing that’s a positive can also be a negative, because if anything happens, you’re relying on one, two, three, a couple of people to fix it. That hasn’t really been a problem yet, but it is one of the largest risks linked to collaborating with a smaller firm.

The client is a San Francisco, Calif.-based video blogger who needed a website to accompany the quality of their content. Their previous website was created on an online site builder from a commonly used template. The client hired Realm Web Design to create a website with an improved design and more technical features. Realm Web Design made the website appear more modern and unique while increasing the ability for the client to build a business from the website by adding the ability to insert advertisements. The website was delivered with practically no errors on the first attempt and is maintained by Realm Web Design.
The client has previously worked with two other companies on the website before settling with Realm Web Design. Both previous companies didn't have the ability to complete the job. The first company didn't have the design capabilities, and the second company didn't have the technical expertise. Realm Web Design possessed all of the necessary expertise and completed the job for a great price. The client has already recommended Realm Web Design to a few friends.
