By Association Only is based in St Ives, England, and works as a Shopify Plus agency focused on design-conscious luxury and premium brands. Its case studies include work for names such as P448, Self-Portrait, Burton Snowboards, Astrid & Miyu and Joseph Joseph, indicating a client base of established fashion, footwear, jewellery and lifestyle product brands operating in ecommerce. The team is small, sized between one and ten people, and describes itself as a Shopify Platinum Partner, positioning its work around design, performance, strategy and technical delivery within the Shopify Plus platform. The agency's services span UI/UX design, web development, replatforming, data migration, ecommerce strategy, conversion rate optimisation (CRO) and SEO. Its project work covers new design and build engagements on Shopify Plus, including full site rebuilds and migrations from other platforms such as Magento to Shopify 2.0, as illustrated by the Self-Portrait and Astrid & Miyu case studies. Alongside project-based builds, it offers retained partnerships aimed at ongoing improvement of site metrics and on-site performance for existing merchants. Declared service areas also include search engine optimisation, advertising, branding and content marketing, positioning the agency to support both the initial design and technical build of a Shopify store and the longer-term optimisation of its commercial performance.
