What you will find on the EVDEV blog
This blog is where we write down what actually worked on client stores, and what did not. No trend pieces and no recycled listicles: every article comes out of a build we shipped, a migration we ran, or a number we watched move on a real storefront.
It runs in three streams.
The three streams
- Development — Shopify theme and Liquid architecture, app bloat and what it costs you in Core Web Vitals, checkout extensibility, subscriptions, and replatforming from WooCommerce, Magento, or Wix.
- Design — product page hierarchy, mobile-first layout, configurators and quizzes, and the design decisions that quietly decide whether a first-time visitor trusts you.
- SEO and AI search — technical SEO, structured data, and how to stay citable now that Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity answer the question before anyone reaches your site.
We have spent 17+ years in ecommerce and run EVDEV out of Toronto. The stores behind these articles range from a DTC supplement brand on Recharge subscriptions to a 700-release vinyl catalog and a custom three-step jewelry configurator, so the advice tends to be specific rather than universal.
If you are weighing a rebuild, a migration, or a store that has stopped converting, start with the category that matches your problem. If you would rather just ask us directly, the intro call is free and 30 minutes.
