At efelle creative, we help businesses define their goals, create effective strategies, and help design and build a website that will help them reach their goals.

Whether it’s a start-up or enterprise brand, we use a diagnostic approach to scoping, allowing us to understand where a client is currently at and move forward with a custom prescriptive approach. This means we help decide which marketing strategy, web design, apps, integrations and more will be best suited for them.

We offer the full suite of BigCommerce services, from website development to theme development to app integrations and full-stack development. At efelle, we work with clients to build out headless commerce sites as well, giving them endless opportunities when it comes to design and functionality.

We also have a long list of partners that we’ve vetted for our clients so that we can help them find trusted apps to make their store fully functional in all the ways they need it. Once a site is launched, we offer a full range of digital marketing services to help our clients increase traffic, conversions, and the overall success of their website.

Working With Clients

We know that redesigning and rebuilding a website is a huge project. We often hear from our clients before they’re clients, “We don’t even know what we don’t know.” That’s why we like to partner with our clients and make sure they know what to expect every step of the way.

Every project we have has an assigned Account Manager who works with them to provide updates, communication, and answer any questions that a client may have. They work as a liaison to provide feedback to the rest of the team while also being there to help our clients know exactly what is going on and walk through important decisions with them. At the beginning of a project, we work with our clients to create a timeline based around their launch goals which helps them know what to expect and where they’ll be needing to provide feedback or content.

The way we work with our clients is with a diagnostic approach. When they first come to us, we take the time to listen, learn, and work with them to understand where they can improve. Once we have a strong understanding of their current issues, as well as their goals, we work with them to make a plan. In this plan, we discuss all the different facets of BigCommerce they can use, sharing how some of their amazing native functionality can be used, and recommending some awesome 3rd party apps to fill in the gaps.

At efelle, our goal is to partner with our clients, but also help train them to do what they have the bandwidth to do. We know that the eCommerce world moves quickly, so we train our clients know how to make most of the day-to-day changes. That being said, we help maintain and update stores for all of our clients and offer support to them to make sure that we are there to help them when they need it!

Our entire team works with the BigCommerce platform, from Account Managers to developers to Sales Team, making all 32 team members competent. The way we drive our team is through the way we partner with our clients. We really look to fully understand our clients goals, who they are behind the business, and how we can help them grow. With that, every project team is eager for our clients success and are empowered to find the best solution.

An example would be when a client comes to us and saying they need something extremely specific done to their site. Rather than just nodding our heads and doing it, we take a step back to ask our client the why. When we know the why, we can either make another recommendation, or we move forward with their request, but with the knowledge of how any why they want to do that, allowing our Developers and Designers to make changes with the end goal in mind.

Designed to Attract, Built to Convert

Taylor Shellfish - Taylor Shellfish is a Seattle restaurant staple that also ships shellfish all over the world. They came to efelle with the goal of improving their website’s eCommerce experience, so it was designed with the goal of appealing to both eCommerce and restaurant customers.
