Problems Shopify E-Commerce Development solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Cataluña.
Slow pages that lose visitors
Heavy images and scripts push load times up, especially on mobile. Performance budgets keep pages fast. Teams in Barcelona usually raise this in the first call.
Leads that never reach sales
Forms that email a shared inbox lose enquiries. Connecting forms to a CRM tracks every lead. In Cataluña, a short workshop on this saves weeks later.
Weak search visibility
Missing titles, headings and structured data make pages hard to rank. Technical SEO is built in from day one. We see this regularly with technology businesses in Barcelona and Girona.

Build for speed and accessibility
