An independent Shopify agency in Yorkshire

One team for every stage of Shopify growth.

Howl helps ambitious product businesses build, move and grow on Shopify. We bring strategy, design, development and ongoing optimisation together around one commercial goal: helping more of the right customers buy. That means fewer handovers, clearer priorities and work that keeps moving after launch. From our Yorkshire studio, we partner with brands across the UK as a practical extension of their team.

Commercial thinking before creative decisions.

We start with the business: what you sell, how customers choose and where growth is being held back. That gives every design, development and marketing decision a clear commercial purpose.

Ongoing improvements guided by real customer behaviour.

We use store data, customer behaviour and commercial priorities to decide what to improve next. The result is focused, continuous progress rather than activity for activity’s sake.

Built for launch. Set up for what comes next.

A new store is only the starting point. Through Howl Growth, we keep improving the customer journey, performance and channels around it. Priorities are reviewed regularly, so the work stays focused on the opportunities most likely to make a commercial difference.

Growth stalls when the store gets in the way.

Small points of friction compound across the customer journey. Common problems include:• Products that are difficult to find or compare
• Pages that leave important questions unanswered
• Slow, inflexible stores that are difficult to manage
• Marketing channels working without a joined-up plan

We identify the friction, agree the priorities and fix the issues that matter most.

• Make product value clear at every important step
• Design mobile-first experiences that reduce hesitation
• Build flexible Shopify foundations for future growth
