In the last measurement window, TechnologyChecker’s public crawl data put 4,431 stores on a path from Wix to Shopify, with only 2,366 making the reverse journey. But the numbers are not what is of interest here. What matters is the number of those transitions that put a quiet dent in quarterly revenue. It has nothing […]

You will not see most Shopify migrations go wrong on the day of launch. The trouble comes three weeks down the line, when a marketing lead spots a category page churning out soft 404s or finance is unable to square last month’s GMV with what was on the old system. Then a ticket from customer […]

Most rankings of the best ecommerce website design are ranked by the wrong thing. They look at hero videos, typography, and animated grids, then hand out awards. The stores that actually make money in 2026 look, by comparison, plain. Amazon is not on any moodboard. It is on almost every credit card statement. The gap […]

The very same study tells […]

The stats make for easy talking points: WordPress is behind some 43% of websites, WooCommerce accounts for about 36% […]

A brand doing $150,000 a month in Shopify sales does not pay $105 a month for the platform. Commerce-UI’s 2026 analysis puts that store closer to $4,200 to $5,500 a month once payments, apps, and ongoing engineering are counted. The plan fee is real, but it is the smallest line item on the bill. That […]

You don’t have to get to the coding stage for an ecommerce app project to fail. They are prone to breaking long before that. The brief is too vague, the agency has every reason to nod along and say yes, and the buyer won’t know a $20k quote from a $90k one until six months […]
