← Home / Work / Weekender Outdoors

Outdoor gear with a storefront built to take the weather.

Weekender Outdoors sells gear for people who actually leave the house. Blinc designed and built the Shopify theme: fast, durable, and easy for the team to run without a developer on call.

How the engagement runs

The engagement, step by step.

01Scope

Define the machinery the store is missing.

Map what the business needs against what Shopify does out of the box. The gap is the scope, agreed and quoted before work starts.

  • Requirements sessions with the team that runs the store daily
  • Fixed scope and quote agreed in writing before build
  • Risk list shared up front, with a workaround for each item
02Build

First party code, not app subscriptions.

Custom functionality is built as first party code the client owns, not a stack of third party apps that break on the next platform update.

  • First party code owned by the client outright
  • Wired into Shopify products, orders and checkout, natively
  • Staging builds reviewed with the client as they land
03QA

Test it like the busiest day of the year.

Edge cases, load, browsers, devices. The point of custom machinery is that it holds when the store is busiest.

  • Edge case testing the weird orders, not just the happy path
  • Cross browser and device pass before anything ships
04Support

Stay on, so nothing is relearned twice.

The same senior developer stays with the store. Four hour maximum reply time, in the contract.

  • Same developer week after week, full context retained
  • 4 hour maximum reply it is in the contract
