Questions luxury operators ask

Do you work with our brand’s guidelines?

Yes. We build Rolex, TUDOR, Patek Philippe and other brand pages to guideline and manage the approval process. We currently hold guidelines for 60+ brands, which is why a compliant page or campaign usually ships in days rather than waiting weeks on brand review.

Should we build on Shopify or WordPress?

It depends on your catalogue and operations, and we recommend after the audit rather than before. Shopify suits transactional catalogues with real inventory complexity; WordPress suits editorial-led sites where content volume matters more than checkout. Custom is for when neither fits without expensive compromise.

How long does a build take?

Roughly six to eight weeks for a focused build, eight to twelve for a larger catalogue, and twelve to sixteen when custom development or complex integrations are involved. The variable is almost always content and product data readiness on your side, not development time.

Do you migrate our SEO?

Yes, and it is included rather than an upsell. Full 301 redirect mapping, schema migration, and rank monitoring through launch. Most traffic collapses after a redesign come from redirects nobody mapped, so we treat it as a launch gate rather than a post-launch cleanup.
