Featured Case Study
UnityPoint Health Shopify Gift Shops
UnityPoint Health, a network of hospitals and clinics in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, required a swift solution to replace their five online gift shops before their new public-facing website went live. This posed a tight deadline for MethodFactory to deliver an Ecommerce replacement solution.
MethodFactory promptly devised a proposal to replace the existing stores with Shopify shops. The solution aimed to ensure a seamless UI experience aligned with the new website’s aesthetics, prioritizing enhanced user satisfaction. Additionally, the solution needed to incorporate custom fields to capture pertinent information about the gift recipients, room numbers, and well wishes.
Why Choose Our Ecommerce Strategy & Development Service?
Choosing the right eCommerce partner means more than getting a site built, it means having a long-term strategy for growth, scalability, and visibility. At MethodFactory, every solution begins with discovery, aligns through strategy, and delivers measurable performance through intelligent implementation.
Platform Discovery
With dozens of eCommerce platforms available, the right fit depends on your goals, integrations, and budget. MethodFactory helps you make an informed decision by aligning your business requirements with the platform that delivers maximum performance and scalability.
Planning
Every solution is designed around your audience and business model. Whether you serve enterprise buyers or direct-to-consumer shoppers, we plan user experiences and technical architectures that convert efficiently and scale confidently.
Implementation
We manage every phase: configuration, integration, migration, and testing to ensure a seamless transition from planning to live operation. Each component is validated for performance, security, and scalability, resulting in a platform that’s stable, efficient, and ready to drive measurable results from day one.
Brand Search Authority Ready
Your eCommerce platform is built to grow with you. Our future-ready architecture incorporates structured data, SEO, and emerging AI discovery standards, ensuring your site performs across traditional search, answer engines (AEO), and generative engines (GEO).
Our Authority-Driven Ecommerce Framework
MethodFactory’s enterprise eCommerce discovery process ensures large-scale implementations are grounded in business logic, technical validation, and future-ready architecture. This structured approach reduces risk, accelerates ROI, and positions your brand for long-term authority.
Phase 1: Technical Discovery
We audit and document all platform customizations from workflows to integrations to create a complete baseline of current-state functionality, performance, and system limitations.
Phase 2: Future State Vision & Roadmap
Stakeholders are aligned around a clear vision for your eCommerce future. We define milestones, platform capabilities, and success criteria to guide phased development and measurable business outcomes.
Phase 3: Business Requirements Documentation (BRD)
Your business objectives become structured, stakeholder-approved requirements, both functional and non-functional forming the foundation for solution design and platform evaluation.
Phase 4: Platform Review & Selection
Through a formal scoring matrix, we evaluate eCommerce and CMS options based on requirements, security, integration needs, total cost of ownership, and scalability, ensuring your final selection supports long-term success.
Phase 5: Implementation Planning (SEO, AEO & GEO Alignment)
Before development begins, we design an implementation plan that connects technology and visibility. Each site architecture, content layer, and integration is optimized for:
-
SEO: Technical and on-page elements that enhance discoverability and ranking performance.
-
AEO: Structured content and schema designed for direct answers in search and voice results.
-
GEO: Entity relationships and content hierarchies that earn citations in generative AI outputs.
Phase 6: Deliverable Development
We finalize all foundational documentation: BRD, Technical Discovery, Vision & Roadmap, Implementation Plan, and Platform Scorecard, providing complete clarity before design or build begins.
Coupled vs. Headless Commerce Platforms: Pros and Cons
Selecting the right eCommerce architecture is one of the most strategic decisions you’ll make. The choice between coupled and headless commerce platforms impacts scalability, design flexibility, and long-term ownership costs.
At MethodFactory, we help organizations evaluate both options through structured demos, hands-on analysis, and real-world scenario testing, ensuring your platform aligns with your business objectives, not vendor preferences.
MethodFactory ensures that both coupled and headless platforms are evaluated side by side with demos showcasing real-world integrations between commerce and CMS systems. This approach eliminates confusion and clarifies how each architecture performs under your specific business conditions.
