Shopblocks is a hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an online shop it gives you everything you need.Shopblocks is designed and built in Manchester, UK.The Shopblocks story begins in 2011. They were one part of a large team of digital marketing professionals. They had spent years designing and developing hundreds of websites forbusinesses large and small, in the UK and around the world. They launched online shops using every technology, every ecommerce platform and employing every tool available. But they disliked them all.The biggest struggle for us, and their clients, was change. Launching a website is one thing, but keeping it up to date and making regular improvements is expensive and time-consuming. Online businesses that can’t change and adapt become out of date very quickly. | $1.9M / Oct 02, 2023 | |
