Let's Talk

Tell us a little about yourself and we'll get back to you shortly.

A platform change is a growth opportunity

We help you turn migration into momentum - simplifying your stack, giving your team more control, and setting up a site that can scale with your business.

You’re hitting walls with BigCommerce flexibility

Rigid templates, limited customization, and dev workarounds slow your team down. We migrate brands to Shopify Plus so they can design freely, iterate faster, and run marketing without tech bottlenecks—all while improving total cost of ownership by up to 31%.

Your merchandising strategy has outgrown the platform

BigCommerce can make even simple merchandising feel hard to scale. Shopify Plus gives you the freedom to tell product stories, build bundles, and run promotions fast—helping brands see up to 12% higher conversion at checkout.

You need a partner who’s done this before

Replatforming is a high-stakes move - and the details matter. We bring proven migration strategy, hands-on dev experience, and deep Shopify Plus knowledge to help your brand move cleanly and unlock performance gains from day one.

Our Process

Discovery & Strategy

We run collaborative Discovery workshops with your team to help us understand your customers along with their goals and your goals for the site as well. We then work with you to create a prioritized feature list and roadmap for the project so your team will know what to expect going forward.

Design

We will run a Design workshop that helps us understand what you like about your current site and where we can take inspiration for improvements. We'll then finalize a brand look and feel and design the pages of the site.

Development

Taking the approved designs, we develop the site with the ultimate goal of letting you manage it. We make sure to keep as much of the management of the site going forward in your hands so you don't need extra development work to keep your business running.

Testing & Launch

Before launch, we run exhaustive QA testing and ensure that you have time for testing as well. This gives you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the site and gives us the chance to train you on managing the site going forward. Once we're bug free, then we launch and monitor the site for any unforeseen issues over the next 30 days.

What our clients say

First&Third has been an important partner for us as we’ve expanded our DTC capabilities. They were able to quickly understand our backend and work with us to prioritize our projects based on timelines and ROI. They’re extremely responsive, offer sound strategic and tactical support, and are an absolute pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend working with them!
