Shopblocks vs. Agencies
Web development agencies and web development freelancers, build websites using available open-source platforms, such as WordPress, Laravel, Magento, etc.
The agency approach allows for customisability that isn’t available on most ecommerce platforms — Shopblocks being the exception. So why choose Shopblocks over an agency? Let’s explore some of the many reasons;
Cost; agency fees can be astronomical and once the site is launched maintenance and support are often unavailable or paid extras. Our no-code platform doesn’t require individual developers to build websites. Shopblocks onboarding experts create websites using our in-house, no-code technology allowing us to offer a significantly more affordable alternative to agencies.
Agencies often know very little about their clients and their goals and objectives. Rather than focussing on the needs of your business, web agencies are prone to prioritising their own reputation and revenue.
The first priority during the Shopblocks onboarding process is to understand you — your business, your goals, your audience. We gain a comprehensive understanding of your business that informs every decision we make, prioritising your objectives and establishing a clear pathway to prosperity and growth.
Agencies are prone to skipping this important step, prioritising their goals and revenue over the ambitions of your company.
Our team of designers, technicians and customer success managers are all experts in their field, assuring that the choices made along the way are of the maximum benefit for you and your business.
