Testimonial from

Every Woman Physio

"Elliot is very knowledgeable and professional. His friendly and calm demeanour is very easy to work with. He always replies promptly to emails and ensures that he completes tasks by the deadlines required. While working with Elliot, I have always felt supported, which has been reassuring, especially during the stressful times that come with starting a new business venture.

He has built a fully functioning e-commerce website that hosts the newly created course in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. I feel that the website looks great and has all of the functions I was hoping for.

During the creation of the website, I had questions regarding the different platforms available to us for hosting course material. Elliot researched each platform that I was interested in so that I could then make a fully informed decision. Elliot was very open to any suggestions I was making, and I felt that at all times, he had the needs of my business at the forefront of all of the decisions.

I would certainly recommend for a personal and professional service, where you can rest assured you will receive great support and a positive outcome."

Project summary

Launching a New Shopify Site

This project involved creating an e-commerce-enabled website capable of delivering online training material. Shopify was selected as the preferred platform due to its simplicity and the advantages it offers to businesses in the early stages. Using Shopify removes the need to set up third-party online payment systems and avoids other common technical challenges.

In the initial planning phase, we explored various options for delivering the online learning content. This included whether to use an established subscription-based learning platform — which would host the training material for a fee — or to build the learning experience directly within Shopify. The latter approach would eliminate additional costs and avoid the disruption of directing learners to a separate domain or website.

Abby preferred a single-site solution, so we implemented a paywall-style application on Shopify that restricted access to the learning sessions to paying subscribers only. This ensured that content remained secure for subscribers, while maintaining a seamless shopping and learning experience on the Every Woman Physio domain. It also resulted in significant cost savings, as monthly fees to external learning platforms were no longer required.

Throughout the project, we worked closely on marketing strategies and how best to present the learning material. I provided ongoing input to ensure the learning experience was clear, engaging, and effective for trainees. My background in creating and delivering online learning materials for university degree programmes proved invaluable during this process.

I’m grateful to Abby for trusting me to help bring this new business to life. I know she was initially unsure about how well this approach would suit the potentially sensitive nature of the content. However, the quality of her teaching and learning material is truly outstanding, and it was a pleasure to support her in building a platform that does it justice.
