We build custom Shopify stores and run the SEO and CRO on the same store, so nothing gets dropped at a handoff. Big catalogs, complex builds and stores that sell across borders.

Shopify development and growth, in one team.

Is this you?

You are probably here because

We understand your pain points. It's probably time to get 6th Man on board, a free intro will determine if we are the right fit for you.

Book an introduction

It starts small. A metafield here, an app there, a workaround for the one product type that does not fit. Then the catalog doubles, a second market opens, and the theme that was fine at launch is now a stack of patches nobody wants to touch. A freelancer can carry that for a while. But they cannot carry it while also fixing your indexation, rebuilding your faceted navigation and shipping conversion tests in the same sprint. Luckily, we can.

Discover build

The build is signed off and the invoices have stopped, but nobody owns the numbers. The SEO industry changes, the test backlog never ships, and every fix you want needs a developer who has moved on to another project. We take the store as it is, work in code we did or did not write, and run the SEO and CRO on it with the same people. This means there is no third party to brief and nothing lost in the handover.

A replatform is the ideal moment to review your business operations. And it is also where rankings go to die: URLs change, redirects get guessed at, and six months of traffic disappears in a week. We map every URL before anything moves, carry the catalog, the processes and the customer data across, and cut over without downtime, then watch the index afterwards like it is our own. We support you through the most important digital project of your year, because a migration is not something that happens overnight.

Discover migrate

Markets, currencies, languages and different catalogs multiply everything: shipping rules, templates, feeds, metafields, and every SEO decision you have already made once. We are experienced in cross-border e-commerce and can advise you on your business case.

Discover build

Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of SKUs, deep variant logic, an ERP with opinions of its own, like Odoo. Most agencies would quote a theme and hope. We design the data model first, how products, filters and templates relate to each other, because at that size the catalog is the architecture. We help you from the business perspective all the way to the development and the design.

What we do

Three parts to
the job, one team.

01

Build

We build Shopify stores for small SMEs all the way to big retailer catalogs with complex requirements. Clean Liquid, fast pages, and a structure search engines can actually read.

  • Shopify app development
Featured work
02

Migrate

Move to Shopify from Woo, PrestaShop or Tilroy without losing the rankings, data and flows you already have.

03

Grow

SEO and CRO run by the same people who can change the code.

We build Shopify stores, move them over from other platforms, and keep improving them once they're live.

Clean code, fast pages, SEO and testing that keep adding up. Our team handles all three, so nothing sits waiting on a handover.

Book an introduction

We work with brands that have outgrown their current webshop. Here is a taste of the shops we loved building, and that keep performing long after launch.

    Our goal with 6th Man is to develop awareness of Haystack and boost lead generation. What works well is their structured approach, taking it in baby steps, combined with fast thinking and clear communication. The impact is not yet visible, since we are waiting to see the ROI in December and January, but the SEO strategy they are building is exactly what we needed. So far, all good.

    Developing our complicated website was always going to be a challenge, and 6th Man understood that from the first conversation. Our feedback is always well received and they approach it critically, proactively flagging concerns and advising against ideas that could have a negative impact. The site is still in development, but once it is live the impact on my job will be massive: WooCommerce to Shopify, a proper dev team for our requests, better SEO, speed, customer journey and integrations. They deliver quality at a rapid pace and take away our doubts. The only improvement would be slightly more structured status updates so we can follow progress without having to ask.

    A personal approach. Arthur really worked as a partner to understand our services and how to market them online.

    Our goal was to build and execute media strategies based on the defined goals of our brands. 6th Man brings a ton of experience into your company in no time, but it goes beyond delivering great results: they make sure everyone truly understands what the work involves and help get everyone aligned and moving in the same direction. That has improved both our internal and external processes, with well executed strategies that made sure projects and campaigns performed as they should. What stands out most is the balance between a realistic, thoughtful strategy and seamless execution.
