What clients say about working with us
“Digital Bird has had a huge influence on our business providing many solutions besides just a fantastic reliable website. Jonathan is great to work with and has a solution to every challenge. Jonathan also has the ability to “dumb it down” and provide timely advice and assistance if something goes astray. With Jonathan we have in excess of 99% uptime on all three websites.”
Jeff Ross
Director, Impact Office Supplies
“Was an absolute pleasure to work with Jonathan. Could not be happier with our new website! Professional, responsive, brilliant communication from the beginning to go live. If you are fortunate enough to be in a conversation with Jonathan for a new site - just do it!”
Alex Brennan
Director, Blue Ink Office Supplies
“I’ve worked with Jonathan from Digital Bird for several years and found him to be a highly competent developer who often exceeds expectations.
Together, we’ve collaborated on a number of medium-sized platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users, including learning management systems, a widely-used school well-being platform, trade promotion competition sites, and more.
Jonathan is very skilled in API and platform integration, payment systems (such as Stripe), AWS, internet security, and more. As a Project Manager/Product Owner, I feel very confident working with Jonathan and recommending his services to our clients.”
Zachary Bavas
Technical Operations, Invision Media
“What stands out most is that Jonathan & the team do not just “fix the ticket”. They investigate properly, explain the cause in plain language, and look for the right long-term solution rather than quick patches. They have helped us move away from fragile legacy processes, improve automated testing, reduce errors, improve email reliability, address performance bottlenecks, and make the platform easier to maintain into the future.”

FAQ
D2C eCommerce FAQs
Common questions about platforms, migrations, integrations and support.
eCommerce projects start from $20K. The final cost depends on your platform, how many products and customer types you have, and which systems the store connects to. After a free strategy session, we send a written proposal with the scope, timeline and cost before any build starts.
Shopify or Shopify Plus suits most consumer brands, and it is usually the faster, cheaper option. A custom store in Laravel makes sense when your pricing, products or systems do not fit how Shopify works. We will recommend the platform based on your catalogue, your systems and your team, and we do not take platform affiliate fees.
Yes. We moved Impact Office Supplies off Magento, and Jonathan helped move Culture Kings from Magento to Shopify Plus. Every old URL is mapped to its new page with 301 redirects, and products, customers and orders are migrated before launch.
Yes. We have connected online stores to Options ERP, Infor M3 and NetSuite, keeping products, stock, pricing and orders in sync so staff do not re-key orders. See our business software integrations.
Yes. Orders and payments can flow into Xero as invoices, and customer, cart and order data can be sent to Klaviyo and your CRM, such as HubSpot, so your email flows, segments and sales team are all working from the same information.
Yes. Paid orders can be sent to shipping platforms like Starshipit automatically, so labels are created without re-keying addresses, and tracking details can flow back to the customer.
Yes, it is a big part of how we plan and build them. Culture Kings moved to Shopify Plus after its Magento store struggled during big sales, and the All 4 Adventure competition sites have kept 100% uptime since 2017.
We do. The same team that built your store keeps supporting and improving it. Ongoing support is optional, through our maintenance plans.
