Operating in Washington, D.C.

How the engagement adapts to a metro this size.

  • Theme vs headless decided in writing

    We do not push headless when Shopify Plus would do the job. It is roughly a 5x cost difference and most brands under $20M ARR cannot tell the operating-experience difference.

  • Klaviyo and Postscript live on launch day

    Eight core email flows plus four SMS flows configured during the build, not after. The first abandoned cart that triggers post-launch should not be the first one captured.

  • Server-side measurement before traffic

    CAPI for Meta and Google. Triple Whale or Northbeam configured. The measurement layer is on the launch checklist, never a follow-on engagement.

  • Subscription, reviews, loyalty, chosen, not defaulted

    We select apps based on the brand's actual operating model, AOV, and replenishment cycle. We do not default to whatever sits on top of the Shopify App Store charts that month.
