Arctic Grey, Ltd.

Our company has a legacy website that lacks many features of a modern ecommerce site. We decided to create a new domain for our most important product line to be hosted on Shopify. This is intended to be a prelude to transitioning our entire legacy website to Shopify. In my role as a co-owner and co-founder of the company, it was primarily my responsibility to find the best partner to help us create our new Shopify store. After considerable research we decided to partner with Arctic Grey to help us create the new Shopify store. Our integration was complicated by our need to synchronize inventory management with our legacy platform. This involved a number of custom APIs. Arctic Grey didn't let us down. Despite the complexity they guided us to a successful launch. The professionalism of everyone that we dealt with at Arctic Grey was extraordinary. The entire process was very organized with weekly conferences via Google Meet and regular communication via Slack. Their response to just about any question was near instantaneous. The technical expertise of the staff at Arctic Grey is impressive, but what really stands out is their dedication to getting the job done as well as their curtesy and professionalism. It was truly a pleasure to deal with everyone at Arctic Grey. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other business owners or management.

As the Director of Strategy for our organization, it was crucial for us to hire a firm we could trust to execute our vision effectively. We were transitioning from BigCommerce to create a completely new website experience on Shopify. Our goal was to stay within our planned budget and launch the new website well before the holiday season, allowing us time to address any issues that might arise post-launch. Thanks to our partnership with Arctic Grey, we successfully launched a fantastic website. They have been incredibly responsive to our requests, and every member of the Arctic Grey team has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a genuine pleasure to work with. What stands out the most is their genuine feeling of being an extension of our team, passionately committed to our business's success. Having worked with numerous design firms and marketing agencies in the past, I can wholeheartedly endorse Arctic Grey and express my satisfaction with our choice to work with them.

As the owners of an online needlepoint canvas and accessories retailer, we were looking for a team to help us redesign our website, improve user experience (UX), enhance site organization, and boost our sales. We turned to Arctic Grey, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. Initial Goals: When we began working with Arctic Grey, our primary goal was to overhaul the UX of our website. We wanted a more intuitive user interface, streamlined site organization, and improved search functionality to make it easier for our customers to find and purchase products. Additionally, we aimed to increase conversions and drive more sales through a better-designed online shopping experience. Impact on Our Business: Partnering with Arctic Grey has had a significant and positive impact on our business. The redesign has made a noticeable difference in how customers interact with our site. The improved search capabilities and more organized layout have led to better navigation, which in turn has increased customer satisfaction and, importantly, our sales. We're now seeing more conversions and repeat business, thanks to the thoughtful improvements they made. Project Management: The project management process was seamless. We worked closely with a dedicated team and project manager who kept us informed at every stage, ensuring the project stayed on track. Their communication was clear and timely, and they were always open to feedback, which made the entire process smooth and efficient. The team was responsive and ensured that all of our needs were met, making the collaboration feel easy and collaborative. What Stands Out: What stands out the most about working with Arctic Grey is their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. From the very beginning, it was clear that they understood our business and our goals. The team took the time to listen to our needs and delivered a tailored solution that exceeded our expectations. Their ability to deliver practical, user-centered designs while maintaining a high level of creativity was truly impressive. Overall, our experience with Arctic Grey has been excellent, and we highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their website and grow their business.

As a partner in Angel Acres Food Club, we sought a seamless, integrated online shopping experience for our customers on Shopify Plus, consolidating our offerings spread across four independent websites. Partnering with Arctic Grey has proven to be an outstanding decision. Though we're still early in the process, I'm highly impressed with their structured and organized approach to building what we envision as a best-in-class website. Having run my own companies and managed large-scale projects, I've seen a range of project management styles. Arctic Grey, and particularly Autumn Nguyen, stand out for their professionalism and precision. Autumn brings expertise and engagement that makes each interaction productive and aligned with our goals. Their excellent project management tools allow for detailed tracking and clear status updates. I'm confident that with Arctic Grey's leadership and project management, Angel Acres Food Club will have the robust, user-friendly site we aim for.

I'm a VP of digital, in charge of a million things--including ecommerce. Our initial goals with Arctic Grey were to build a simple, elegant, attractive Shopify site that could sell our main products--most of them subscription-based, so necessitating Recharge--but that could evolve to encompass much, much more. We'd worked with Arctic Grey before, on a similar, if simpler, site, so we knew what to expect: a capable, responsive team with whom we could easily communicate via Slack, as well as expertise in the areas most important to us (i.e., subscription products). Our project manager, Thiara, kept things running smoothly and on time, and was always available to discuss any aspect. For us--a small company with an internal team that likes to be very hands-on--Arctic Grey's bulk-hours system was ideal: We could mange many parts of the shop build-out ourselves, and then rely on Arctic Grey to handle efficiently whatever we could not. It made the whole thing achievable!

If she didn't have an immediate answer to a question, she was always honest about it and would follow up with a clear and accurate response after checking with her team.
