Maison Commerce’s secret to 1-day Shopify builds for clients

Like many eCommerce agency owners, Kasper Dolk, Founder of Maison Commerce, is used to getting requests from clients to deliver custom projects with tight deadlines. 

To ensure on-time delivery, his team created a custom workflow that used manual coding to convert designs into Shopify pages and sections. 

But he knew there had to be a faster way. 

With Instant, he found a no-code page-building solution that would turn his build-to-launch time into a matter of hours. 

Here’s the secret strategy to his success: 

Custom Shopify pages created without code

For Kasper, using Instant Page Builder has helped his team eliminate code from their work, allowing them to offer rapid turnaround times for their clients.

The process behind same-day client builds

With Instant, Maison Commerce has been able to speed up their design-to-development process. 

Here’s what their current workflow looks like:

1. Onboarding: Gather info about client objectives.
   
   

2. Design phase: Pages are designed (usually in Figma), with a first review for clients within a few days and up to 2 revisions.
   
   

3. Development: Now, designs are converted into Shopify landing pages using Instant. 
   
   

4. Testing & debugging: Pages are tested across major browsers and devices to ensure smooth performance. 
   
   

5. Launch & optimization: 14 days after the launch, small edits are made to increase conversion based on user activity.

Since their designs are typically created in Figma, Maison Commerce has used Instant’s Figma to Shopify plugin to copy and paste designs into Instant. This has enabled them to build pages in hours!

Time-saving Figma-to-Shopify plugin

With the amount of dev time that his team has now saved, it’s no surprise that the Figma plugin is Kasper’s favorite Instant feature: 

In his words: “Just copy it {your design} straight into Instant. Then I just make it responsive, or the team makes it responsive, and we're basically good to go.”

Simplified content adjustments for clients

Using Instant has also made it easier for clients to change or edit the content to their liking. 

Once Maison Commerce publishes the design in Instant and Shopify, clients can easily continue to tweak the landing pages even after the project is completed. This is helpful for both the agency and its clients; after all, the ability to edit content easily (and without having to dive into the code) is ideal when optimizing landing pages for conversion!

Advice for other Instant users

One of Kasper’s top tips is to build custom Shopify sections in Instant.

You can publish any sections you’ve built wherever you want in your Shopify store (also within pages that you didn’t build in Instant!). 

Plus, published content can be edited directly in Shopify: 

“And the thing that I really like is that you can also make changes in the Shopify theme customizer.” says Kasper, “So you don't have to, you know, make the changes in Instant, but you can allow your clients to basically make them in Shopify where they're already used to the workflow there.”

Conclusion

Promising a fast turnaround from design to Shopify deployment is at the heart of Maison Commerce’s offerings. With Instant, Kasper and his team have streamlined their design process, exceeding their client's expectations. 

For agency owners like Kasper, who want to fast-track their build process, without compromising on quality, using Instant to build custom Shopify pages and sections could be the secret to success.
