Ecommerce Pre-Study
At ZCO, we help brands lay the groundwork for successful e-commerce projects by conducting a tailored Ecommerce Pre-Study. A strategic phase that defines your digital goals, maps out technical requirements, and ensures your website is built for performance, scalability, and growth.
Is an Ecommerce Pre-Study Right for You?
Not every brand needs a full site rebuild, but every successful project starts with a clear plan. A Pre-Study is the perfect first step if you:
- Are planning a new e-commerce site or replatforming from your current setup.
- Feel limited by outdated systems or inefficient workflows.
- Need help choosing the right tech stack, platform, CMS, or frontend framework.
- Want to reduce development costs through better structure and smarter decisions.
- Are scaling fast and need a solid digital foundation to support growth.
- Lack a clear roadmap for UX, content, SEO, or performance.
Whether you’re building from scratch or refining what you have, a tailored Pre-Study helps you take control of your digital strategy, and ensures your investment pays off.
Most Pre-Studies are Unique
Some pre-studies are focused on planning workflows and making sure we select the best platform for a simple headless e-commerce project. Others involve creating a detailed 5-step plan over 3 years to replace their e-commerce platform, ERP, reinvent complex flows, and more.
What your pre-study will include is something we’ll define together to ensure it aligns with your specific needs.
Why is a Pre-Study Crucial Before Building?
We need to understand you
If we can’t understand you, your needs, and the pulse of your brands, we won’t be able to deliver a project that both parties can be proud of.
Nobody likes doing the same work twice
To keep project costs down, avoid rework, and minimize risk, we need to define needs, goals, and requirements before we get started.
ZCO Principles.
The pre-study is a prerequisite for us to be able to follow our principles:
Always Honor Budgets
We will never profit at your expense if we fail to stick to the timeline we’ve set.
Always Deliver Quality
Some days may be tough, but in the end, every piece of code, design, and integration we deliver should meet the highest standards of quality.
Always Own the Responsibility
We’re the experts, which means we own both the challenge and the solution. You shouldn’t have to worry about the problems we solve. That’s our job.
Always Honest
No one likes a polished explanation designed to confuse. We are honest, and if needed, brutally honest.
