A store without a strategy is just a website with a shopping cart

Most e-commerce businesses have the same problem: the store was built by someone who understood the platform but didn’t understand the business.

Wrong platform, wrong foundation

You’re on a platform that doesn’t match your business.

No marketplace or channel strategy

You’re selling on one channel when your products should be visible on five.

Operations are disconnected

The store runs, but the business behind it is held together with manual processes that don’t scale.

“Most of the time, what a business owner thinks they need isn’t exactly what they need. The value we bring isn’t just execution, it’s the experience to diagnose the actual problem before spending money on the wrong solution”.

Bryan Mull
Founder, Digital Mully

I’ve built e-commerce stores since Magento was brand new. I’ve owned my own stores. I’ve worked at agencies that specialize in e-commerce development. I’ve worked inside brands as part of their in-house team. That means when I sit down with a business owner, I’m not guessing about what works. I’ve already built it, launched it, broken it, fixed it, and scaled it.

What makes our team different from the newer people in this space is that we’ve been through full cycles. We’ve watched platforms rise and fall. We’ve migrated stores when a platform stopped making sense. We’ve seen what happens when someone picks the wrong payment processor, or launches without a shipping strategy, or builds a store without thinking about how products get found. We don’t just know the platforms. We know the business of selling products online.

Most of the time, what a business owner thinks they need isn’t exactly what they need. Someone calls about a website redesign and the real problem is their product data. Someone asks about Google Ads and the real problem is their shopping feed. The value we bring isn’t just execution — it’s the experience to diagnose the actual problem before spending money on the wrong solution.

Frequently asked

Common questions from business owners evaluating e-commerce strategy. If you don’t see yours, let’s sit down and talk through it — we’ll give you a direct answer.


Should I move to Shopify?

Maybe. Shopify is an excellent platform for consumer brands that need speed, simplicity, and a large app ecosystem. It’s strong for DTC businesses, subscription products, and companies that don’t need heavy customization. But it has real limitations — particularly around B2B functionality, complex catalog structures, and multi-warehouse operations.

The answer depends on what you sell, how you operate, and where you’re headed. We evaluate your specific situation before recommending any platform. Sometimes the answer is yes, move to Shopify. Sometimes the answer is your current platform is fine and the problem is somewhere else.


Is Magento still a viable platform?

Absolutely. Magento (now Adobe Commerce) is still the strongest platform for complex B2B e-commerce, large product catalogs, multi-store operations, and businesses that need deep customization. The misconception that Magento is dying comes from the fact that the community edition shifted to open source and Adobe acquired the enterprise version.

For the right business, Magento is still the best choice. We’ve been building on Magento since it launched in 2008 and continue to recommend it for businesses where the complexity justifies the platform investment.


Should I sell on Amazon?

It depends on your product, your margins, and your brand strategy. Amazon gives you access to massive buyer traffic, but it comes with trade-offs: fees that eat into margins, limited customer data ownership, pricing pressure, and brand control challenges. For some products, Amazon is the biggest growth opportunity available.

For others, it’s a race to the bottom. We evaluate your specific product line, competitive position, and margin structure before recommending a marketplace strategy. The goal is revenue growth that makes sense for your business, not just being on every platform for the sake of it.


How do AI and AI visibility affect my e-commerce store?

AI is changing how customers discover products. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI overview to recommend a product in your category, whether your brand appears in that answer depends on your structured data, your content authority, and how machine-readable your product information is.

This is a new layer on top of traditional SEO, and most e-commerce stores aren’t set up for it. We assess your AI visibility as part of our e-commerce strategy and make sure your store is positioned for how people search today and how they’ll search next year.


What platform should I use for my new store?

The short answer: it depends on your business. Shopify for consumer DTC brands that value simplicity and speed. Magento/Adobe Commerce for complex B2B operations and large catalogs. BigCommerce for businesses that want robust built-in features without heavy custom development. WooCommerce for content-driven businesses that need e-commerce integrated into WordPress.

We’ve built on all four and we’ll recommend the one that fits your products, your operations, your budget, and your growth plans — not the one we’re most comfortable with.


Do you build the store or just advise on strategy?

Both. We start with strategy because the decisions made before the build determine whether the store performs. Once the strategy is set, we coordinate the build — either through our development team or working alongside yours.

Payment processing, shipping configuration, product catalog structure, marketplace integrations, analytics setup, email marketing connections. We handle the full scope from strategy through launch and stay on as an ongoing advisor after that.


Are there technical issues with my store that I don’t know about?

Almost certainly. Every e-commerce platform creates technical issues that aren’t visible from the store’s frontend. Over-indexed pages that waste search engine crawl budget. Shopping feeds with product data errors that suppress your listings.

Analytics that aren’t tracking revenue accurately. Schema markup that’s missing or incorrect. These problems silently suppress your organic visibility and conversion rates. Our technical assessment identifies every issue and prioritizes the fixes by revenue impact.
