SEO & Marketing
The strategic case for organic search: unit economics against paid, why compounding beats rented traffic, realistic payback periods, what SEO cannot fix, and how to spot a bad agency.
Security & Compliance
An operational security checklist for a storefront: asset inventory, access control, admin hardening, patching, dependency and third-party estate, secrets, backups, logging and incident readiness.
UX & Design
Checkout and decision design: field reduction, guest checkout, validation timing, decline-code copy, trust signals that actually transfer risk, and why most ecommerce A/B tests are underpowered.
Performance & Speed
Platform performance for Magento and Shopify: Varnish hit ratio and what breaks it, Redis session and cache split, indexers and cron, Liquid render cost, and auditing the app and extension estate.
SEO & Marketing
Keyword research for a catalogue: intent classification mapped to page types, SERP-overlap clustering, facet indexation rules, and detecting cannibalisation from Search Console data.
SEO & Marketing
Site-wide structured data: the @graph entity model, BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite, what happened to FAQ and HowTo, and a request-scoped assembler that stops three layers emitting duplicates.
UX & Design
Browse and discovery design: information architecture as a naming argument, facet selection and counts, filter state in URLs, internal search and zero results, and accessibility as a design constraint.
Performance & Speed
Mobile optimisation for the slow device: JavaScript CPU cost on mid-range Android, INP attribution, hydration islands, touch targets, the 16px input rule, and testing on real hardware.
Architecture & Cloud
The business and UX case for an ecommerce PWA: when to fire the install prompt, what standalone mode breaks, push permission economics, and when not to build one.
