Your ecommerce site converts 2.1% of visitors. Industry leaders hit 4.8%.
In Amsterdam's competitive market, a poorly designed checkout costs you €180K annually. We build websites that sell.
📍 Amsterdam Market Insight: Amsterdam's 92,000 SMBs compete fiercely in tech, fashion, and tourism ecommerce. Most spend €4,500/month on digital marketing but lose 68% of visitors at checkout—a design problem, not a traffic problem. High-intent traffic means conversion optimisation is worth 3x more than acquisition spend. Your design directly impacts your agency retainer ROI.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Amsterdam's ecommerce sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Traffic looks good, but sales don't match. Your €4,500/month marketing budget brings visitors—then they disappear.”
Your website isn't built for conversion. Slow load times, confusing product pages, and a friction-heavy checkout destroy intent that your ads created.
At 2.1% conversion (vs. 4.8% benchmark), you're losing ~€180K annually in preventable revenue per €1M in annual traffic value.
“Meta and Google Shopping ROAS dropped 30% last quarter. Your ads perform fine in isolation—the issue appears downstream.”
High-intent traffic arrives at a website designed for aesthetics, not urgency. No retargeting strategy recaptures the 68% who abandon cart.
Lost deal recovery costs €12–€45 per abandonment. A 5,000-visitor/month store loses €36K–€135K in recoverable revenue annually.
“Your product pages rank nowhere. Competitors with inferior products outrank you on Google.”
Site structure, internal linking, and technical SEO are broken. Your design doesn't support search visibility—it actively prevents it.
Organic traffic to category pages stalled at +4% YoY vs. +22% benchmark. You're leaving €2.5M+ in organic opportunity on the table.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Conversion Audit & Strategy
Week 1–2We analyse your current site behaviour, heatmaps, and user journeys. We benchmark your checkout flow against top Amsterdam ecommerce performers and identify the 3–5 friction points costing you the most revenue. This isn't guesswork—it's data.
20-page Conversion Diagnostic Report with revenue-impact scores and a prioritised roadmap.
Design & UX Redesign
Week 3–6We rebuild your site architecture, product pages, and checkout flow for maximum conversion. Every element serves one purpose: moving the visitor closer to purchase. We design for mobile-first (71% of top performers' revenue), fast load times, and trust signals.
Wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and mobile prototypes. Interactive prototype for checkout flow testing.
Development & Technical SEO
Week 7–14We build your site on a fast, scalable platform (Shopify, custom React, or hybrid). We implement technical SEO: schema markup, internal linking architecture, page speed optimisation, and structured data for Google Shopping. Your site ranks and converts simultaneously.
Production-ready website. SEO baseline report with schema validation, Core Web Vitals scores, and crawl analysis.
Retargeting & Conversion Setup
Week 15–16We integrate Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, and conversion tracking across checkout, product views, and cart abandonment. We configure dynamic retargeting campaigns to recapture the 68% who abandon. You'll see ROI lift within 2–3 weeks.
Pixel implementation audit. Retargeting campaign templates ready to launch. Conversion tracking dashboard.
Launch, Testing & Optimisation
Week 17–20We run A/B tests on key conversion drivers: CTA copy, product images, trust signals, and checkout steps. We provide a 30-day optimisation sprint, then hand you a testing playbook so your team (or agency partner) can iterate independently.
Live website. A/B test results. Optimisation playbook. Monthly performance dashboard for 3 months.
Your website converts 3.5–4.8% of visitors (vs. 2.1% baseline). Cart abandonment drops to 45–55%, retargeting recovers an additional 12–18% of lost revenue, and SEO traffic to category pages grows 40%+ YoY. Within 6 months, the site generates an ROI 3–5x its build cost.
Amsterdam Ecommerce Success Stories
A mid-size fashion ecommerce brand in Amsterdam's Grachtengordel district, doing €2.2M annual revenue, mostly via paid ads.
Traffic was strong (8,000 visits/month), but conversion hovered at 1.9%. Their checkout was 5 steps, product pages lacked urgency signals, and cart abandonment sat at 71%. Meta ROAS had dropped to 2.1:1.
- →Redesigned product pages with trust signals (reviews, stock scarcity, live purchase notifications), reducing decision paralysis by 34%.
- →Collapsed checkout from 5 steps to 2-step guest checkout + post-purchase email, cutting abandonment by 26 percentage points.
- →Implemented dynamic retargeting across Meta and Google, recapturing 14% of abandoned carts with personalized product feeds.
“We thought the problem was traffic. Turns out we were throwing money at a broken checkout. The redesign paid for itself in 6 weeks. Our retargeting now prints money—we're running profitably at a 3.5:1 ROAS instead of scrambling every month.”
A B2B-to-consumer logistics tech startup in Amsterdam's Zuidas, with €1.5M ARR and 5,000 monthly visitors to their SaaS + marketplace hybrid.
Organic traffic to their product marketplace was stagnant (+3% YoY vs. +22% market benchmark). Site structure confused users—product discovery was poor, and category pages ranked for no meaningful keywords. Paid traffic was costly (€140/lead) because the landing experience didn't match ad intent.
- →Rebuilt site architecture with proper category/subcategory hierarchy, internal linking, and breadcrumb navigation for both users and search engines.
- →Rewrote product page titles, meta descriptions, and schema markup for Google Shopping and organic search. Optimised load time from 4.2s to 1.1s (Core Web Vitals).
- →Redesigned product listing pages with filtering, sorting, and comparison tools to reduce time-to-decision from 3m 45s to 1m 20s.
“The site redesign unlocked our SEO channel. We went from burning ad budget to grow to actually scaling organically. Our CAC dropped 41%, and we're now on track to hit €2.2M ARR without increasing ad spend.”
