In 2016, Swanky were 1 of the first 3 agencies in Europe to be awarded the title of Shopify Plus Experts; an accreditation which recognises our commitment to providing enterprise brands with stunning websites that drive conversions. 

As leading Shopify Plus Partners for design, development and growth services, we have spent years consulting on everything digital to industry leaders.

We remain as passionate as ever about finding innovative solutions to help our clients reach their full e-commerce potential. 

In 2010, two friends living in Exeter realised that web design agencies were too jargonist and complicated, with many recommending outdated solutions that left clients ill-prepared for the e-commerce revolution (that was, at that point, yet to come). 

The market was missing an agency that could support e-commerce managers with tools perfectly suited for the digital era.

They wanted to help fellow entrepreneurs by taking over the time-consuming work of e-commerce design and strategy, so they started Swanky!

When we take on a web design project, we do more than just create a website.

We take your unique industry requirements and long-term objectives into consideration, in order to create a brand-centric experience that you and your customers will love.

Our services include branding, print design and web design – whether it be e-commerce optimised to sell products, or content designed to engage.

The online world is cut-throat; fast decision making, adaptability and a strategic as well as commercial mindset are key components for online survival.

Choosing the wrong tools can be detrimental. As one of the first agencies in Europe to partner with Shopify Plus to build sustainable, flexible and powerful enterprise-size websites, Swanky became the perfect agency for the competitive era of e-commerce.

When you’ve put blood, sweat and tears into building your business online, there’s nothing worse than seeing low traffic numbers on your dashboard.

Or worse, not finding your own company when searching for it on Google! Here at Swanky, we’ve been working with successful brands in numerous sectors for over 8 years, so we know how to drive engaged traffic across digital channels to get results.

Over the past 8 years, we have not only helped local businesses but also global brands such as Itsu, Saltrock and Knomo Bags to unlock their full digital potential – with some Swanky-built online stores turning over £100m annually.

How did we do it?

By coming up with innovative solutions to solve our clients’ problems, carefully guiding them through all elements of their unique web design and growth strategy.

Do you have a beautiful store design, great technology and plenty of traffic – but disappointing sales figures? 

Our conversion rate optimisation campaigns result in your store visitors buying more products, more often.

Unlike most CRO experts, we conduct all campaign consultation, analysis, built, testing and deployment in-house.

This speeds up results and reduces costs for you – the results can be startling and often pay for themselves within weeks.

We love downloading and spending time on amazing apps, and we get a big kick out of building apps that others will love too. SwankyApple provides mobile and browser based app development for all kinds of needs and environments – from a silly dictionary which lists funny alternative definitions for almost every word in the english language (and lets users favourite, rate and submit new definitions), to the next big thing in social music sharing on iPhone. Whatever you application need, we can probably help.

Our App Services

We provide end to end mobile and browser app development. Our services cover everything from an initial consultation to assess the suitability of certain platforms for your app idea, through to ongoing promotion, maintenance and enhancements once everything is finished. Here are all those stages in detail:

Briefs & Consultations

We’re always happy to take a look at briefs and provide free consultation to assess your needs. You can contact us about that right now, if you’d like. If our skill-set is not right for your project we’ll connect you with others who are.

Designs & Specifications

We get to work designing the looks of your app and documenting the features. In this stage we provide multiple concepts and refine and polish until everyone is absolutely satisfied with the proposed app.

Development

Once we’ve created a cool design on paper we need to turn it into a coded app. If you already have a design we can start at this stage. We can create responsive width, mobile and standard apps as required.

Going Live

So you’ve got an amazing app but need to get it online and downloaded? Here’s where we help you get it on the app store, connected with chrome and so on. Everything you need to get it in front of excited users!

Marketing

Be it Adwords, Facebook ads or search optimisation we’ll help you get your app found by the people who want to buy it. If you’ve already got a sales strategy we’ll be pleased to provide hands-and-feet for that too.

Maintenance

Your new app is a baby; It’s amazing and beautiful and, crucially, has masses of potential. If you consistently invest in new features and content from the day it’s completed you’ll enjoy years of benefits.
