UX and UI design
UX and UI design are key elements for successful webshops. While the user interface (UI) comprises the visual design that appeals to users and provides orientation, the user experience (UX) focuses on the overall user experience.
A well-thought-out UX design ensures that users find their way around intuitively and that the purchasing process runs smoothly. This increases satisfaction, promotes customer loyalty and has a direct positive impact on the conversion rate and sales.
TechDivision's in-house team has extensive experience in UX and UI, as well as tools to deliver unique digital experiences that are visually appealing and work for the respective target group.

Relaunch
A store is not just about technology and configuration, it has to guarantee your customers an outstanding user experience. It must be easy and self-explanatory to use, and must not raise any questions for the user. We are experts in precisely these services. Before we design a store, we take a very close look at the target group.
This is how we ensure that we meet the requirements and wishes of our customers on an emotional level. Get in touch with us!

Product Data Management
Product data management involves the central collection, administration, and maintenance of all product-relevant information in one system. This is essential for the success of an online store: consistent and up-to-date product data ensures an optimal customer experience, increases the willingness to buy and reduces returns.
As a long-standing Akeneo Gold Partner, we ensure perfect product data, which forms the basis for an outstanding product and digital experience.

Migration from other Platforms
Your data and processes must remain in flow during a migration. The smoothest possible transition from your existing system to Shopify Plus is therefore a top priority.
What do we do for you?
Thanks to our many years of experience and numerous migrations, some of them very extensive, we ensure that this works.
Over the past 18 years, we have successfully carried out numerous very extensive migrations from a wide variety of systems and know the potential problems and “pitfalls”.
Through careful planning of the migration, a lot of experience and various tools and best practices, we ensure a smooth transition to your new Shopify Plus platform — with all the necessary data.

Headless Frontend with Shopify Plus
A headless frontend in e-commerce separates the backend (data & logic) from the frontend (user interface). This allows content to be provided flexibly via APIs on different channels such as web, apps or IoT devices.
What do we do for you?
We have extensive experience in the implementation of headless frontends in a wide variety of designs and as part of a wide range of e-commerce projects and scenarios. This enables us to support you in choosing the right technology right from the start. Of course, we then also ensure smooth implementation, including the necessary testing and any optimizations.
Our services
- Analysis of requirements and your IT architecture
- Advice on selecting the right front-end technology
- Implementation taking your requirements into account
- Testing and optimization

Is Shopify Plus the right choice? Shopify in the Competitive Environment
According to the latest results of the recognized analysis and evaluation company "Gartner", Shopify is one of the world's leading providers of e-commerce solutions.
Only the competitors "Salesforce", "Adobe" and "Commercetools" are rated similarly positively. This development is due not least to the considerable sums that Shopify invests annually in the further development of its platform.
