Customer Reviews
We use the aggregated reviews from reviewfinder.org, which combine multiple platforms, instead of relying on a single source.
01
Our Nine Review Criteria in Detail
How we assess quality at German Shopify agencies
References · Comparability
Project Experience
Crucial are references that resemble your own project – in size, editorial effort, and technical integration.
02
Code · Maintainability
Technical Quality
How cleanly is it built? Plugin discipline, version control, and a staging environment determine whether the site will still be maintainable in three years.
03
Focus · Depth
Specialization
WooCommerce, editorial systems, or performance: A clear specialization beats the promise of being able to do everything.
04
Maintenance · Security
Support after Launch
Updates, backups, response times for malfunctions. If operation isn't even mentioned in the offer, it's usually not planned either.
05
Transparency · Predictability
Pricing Model
Fixed price or effort – both are fine, as long as it's clear beforehand what's included and what will be charged extra.
06
Control · Independence
Ownership of Access Credentials
Domain, hosting, and code should belong to you. Otherwise, changing agencies later will be expensive.
07
Visibility · Load time
SEO and Performance
A website that no one finds or that loads slowly doesn't fulfill its purpose – regardless of the design.
08
Contact person · Reliability
Communication
Dedicated contact persons, understandable offers, and honest assessments of feasibility.
09
Note: The weighting of the individual criteria is editorial. No single characteristic alone determines the placement.
