Shopify dropped its Winter ‘23 Editions a couple of months back. And this latest release has given us devs plenty to play around with. Here’s our verdict on Shopify’s Winter ‘23 updates, including our pick of the biggest game-changers.

Checkout Extensions (and further checkout changes on the horizon)

Up until now, any stores on Shopify Plus have been able to customise the checkout.liquid template for their store. We’ve used this for analytics, style and appearance changes, integrations with third-party systems, upsell or recommendation apps, and more.

However, Shopify has announced that its new Checkout Extensions will soon replace checkout.liquid completely. This will allow stores to customise the checkout whilst still ensuring a top level of security for customers. It’s great that Shopify is investing into protecting and enhancing security, but the future of checkout customisations now looks pretty uncertain.

Checkout Extensions don’t provide anywhere near the level of customisation of checkout.liquid changes, and they can be a lot more difficult to work with. Some of the checkout changes we’ve made seem unlikely to be possible with Checkout Extensions and lots of the apps that handle checkout customisations don’t currently support them.

Summary: Too soon to tell. Checkout.liquid has until mid-2024 until it’ll stop working, so we’ll be carefully keeping an eye on any additions or changes to Checkout Extensions in the meantime!

Shopify offers a fantastic product and order management system, but its content management has often been playing catch up with other platforms. It works well enough for simple websites, but more complex stores can be a bit tricky.

We’ve become very well practised in coming up with creative solutions to solve some of Shopify’s limitations, but that all seems to be changing thanks to Meta Objects! These new additions allow developers to create arbitrary ‘groups’ of content fields, massively increasing the potential of content management within Shopify.

We’ve been playing with Meta Objects for a couple of months now on new and old projects and only scratched the surface. We can already tell that they are such a huge deal for Shopify development. Designs, integrations and customisations that previously took tonnes of development time or expensive apps can now be done in a fraction of the time.

They also make content management a lot easier, allowing us to keep content management all in one place and more easily change one-off unique content on Collections, Products, Pages and Articles.

Summary: Shopify hit it out of the park with this one. A year from now we’ll wonder how we got on without them!

Verdict: the supercharged sidekick to Meta Objects

It may not have had the same groundbreaking impact as Meta Objects, but the many minor additions and improvements to metafields and the customiser over the past year have made a meaningful difference.

Collection and mixed reference metafields

Dynamic values from Store settings in customiser

Increasing limits of blocks and sections in JSON templates

Video field in customiser, allowing uploading a video file directly

And I’m sure there’s many more that I’ve missed! Together all of these help us deliver websites that are becoming easier and easier for our clients to manage. As if that wasn’t good enough already, many of these improvements also make Meta Objects even more powerful!

Summary: All in all, great changes for developers and content editors.

Verdict: a must-have for hassle-free international shipping

 and we’re very much fans of how it makes managing a store across multiple countries so much easier. But as a store owner, you’re still left managing some of the difficult stuff such as international tax, fulfilment, shipping and import restrictions.

Markets Pro is a more full-featured tool to help your business operate globally. It helps with cross-border shipping and fulfilment and international tax filing. It also displays different options for local payment options and currencies, and automatically ensures users only see the products they can receive.

It’s still in early-access and for US stores only at the moment, so we’re still exploring what it can do for our clients, but we’re excited to see how it can make managing an international e-commerce store easier!

Summary: International ecommerce becomes a lot easier – well worth a look for international fulfilment alone!

Verdict: a no-brainer if you’re big enough

There are a whole bunch of additions to Shopify B2B for Plus that make what was already a great solution for wholesale even better. We 

mentioned it when it first launched last year

 and although we hadn’t run into any major limitations, there was definitely a lack of flexibility compared to some other B2B/Wholesale solutions.

Shopify have done a lot of work to reduce those limitations and add more flexibility, including:

Native quantity rules like max or minimum quantities

Website and backend flexibility with metafields on companies and locations

Better branding and layout control on checkout and email templates

Summary: It does require Shopify Plus, but if you’re big enough and need Wholesale it’s a no-brainer.

Verdict: GDPR and privacy compliance just got way easier

The Customer Privacy API is definitely not a big ticket item. It doesn’t even get a headline in Winter editions ‘23! It’s mentioned in a tiny section within “Find & engage customers” and hasn’t even been mentioned in Shopify’s developer changelog, it just suddenly appeared in the developer documentation!

It is definitely a Winter ‘23 feature though, and one I think that Shopify should highlight a bit more prominently, because it makes a significant difference to how easy it is to comply with privacy legislations like GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. An increasing number of privacy legislations require websites to get consent from their users before performing certain actions with their personal data. This may include selling their information, running analytics or showing ads on the page.

Previously Shopify only had a single opt-in or opt-out control, making a consent popup a bit tricky to implement. You couldn’t run analytics if a user didn’t want their data sold – even though those are completely different purposes! Under some jurisdictions, it’s not even clear the previous behaviour was compliant!

The new Privacy API has granular options for Preferences, Analytics, Marketing and Sale of Data, making it significantly easier to implement a website fully compliant with privacy laws.

Summary: Very helpful to comply with privacy laws – just make sure your consent solution supports it.

We took some time out to see what the future has in store for design and dev at 

. Here’s our pick of our favourite talks – plus the top takeaways from each.

Michelle Barker, “Building a greener web”

The web accounts for 3-4% of our planet's emissions. That’s the same as the entire aviation industry.

Web performance has been high on our agenda lately, and it’s something that’s already helping us to design and develop more consciously. Michelle provided some great insights on what we all can do to help reduce our environmental impact further.

1) Test your site’s environmental footprint. 

 are free tools that give you tons of insights.

2) Instead of Google Analytics, consider using more lightweight analytics that use less energy tracking users. We’re talking about the likes of Cabin, Fathom, Plausible, and Umami analytics.

3) Hold third-party resources and hosting accountable. Again, here are three great tools that will tell you how your partners measure up: 

3) A relatively simple one – and something we should all consider more – design websites to use less high-energy resources like video and more vector graphics and text.

4) And finally, consider your environmental footprint in code, too. And by that, we mean:

Don’t add lots of code to support out-of-date browsers

Do everything you can to optimise performance

Emma Bostian, “Building effective cross-cultural teams”

Because we’re a multicultural agency, we’ve learned that great communication skills are right up there when it comes to working effectively. However, Emma spoke about the importance of being more mindful of culture when it comes to communication. And it’s definitely something we should all be more conscious of – not just at work, but in everyday life, too.

How different cultures communicate, evaluate performance and give constructive criticism

How differences in culture can impact decision-making

And how balancing indirect and direct communication can make a huge difference in how people may interpret what you’re saying

 for more interesting insights around how we communicate.

Slight curveball (but something we were all fascinated by) was the story of stop motion artist, Dina Amin, who’s made a living from her love of taking things apart.

Growing up in Egypt, she always had an interest in objects and how they’re created. She’d visit the local marketplace and buy everything from old, poorly translated books to broken plug sockets. It was these collections of objects that would be taken apart as part of her weekly 

Today, Dina has almost 28K followers and collaborates with some of the world’s biggest brands.

Matt Wheeler, “Is your website accessible? Probably not”

In his talk, Matt covered all things web accessibility – and showed how your website probably isn’t as accessible as you think.As part of a study that looked at 1 million websites, 96.3% of homepages detected WCAG 2 failures. Research shows that 24% of people living in the UK have a disability, which means that the web isn’t meeting its true goal of being fit for everyone.

Matt rightly stated that accessibility starts with the brand. Basic things like: are your colours accessible? Are you using a typeface that is easy to read? Do the brand guidelines cover accessibility of the brand? These things should all be covered before handing over to a UI/UX designer so that accessibility isn’t an afterthought.

He also spoke about why, more than ever, accessibility should be top of the agenda.

Accessible websites provide a more inclusive web experience – and that makes us as designers think more critically about the user experience.

One of Google’s key metrics is how accessible a website is. Another reason why continuous testing should be carried out.

If a website is inaccessible, you may be cutting off a portion of your audience. And this means lost revenue in the long run.

Watch Matt talk more about accessibility in his 

Amy Hupe, “How to write sh*t documentation”

Amy taught us all about the importance of good documentation – but in a way we didn’t expect.

She had us take part in a practical task, following a series of intentionally vague steps to draw a picture. Even though Amy knew what the outcome would be, it wasn’t clear to us, the audience.

Her next slide stated: "We cannot judge if something is both clear and correct. If we know it enough to say it is correct, we know it too well to say if it's clear". In other words, being very involved in a project doesn't mean that you can explain it the best. And that means there’s a risk you’ll overlook important details necessary for documentation.

Her other tips when it came to documentation included:

Organise documentation by task, rather than by audience. Organise by audience and you’ll run into difficulties when trying to find where decisions can be made. This, in turn, makes things much more difficult to manage.

Doing user research correctly can save you time and money. Learning your audience's knowledge level and ways of working will help inform the next stages of usability testing and task-based research.

Amanda Wowk, “Plain language: it's not just for designers”

Last up, Amanda Wowk – who showed us how important plain language can be.

Today, 1 in 6 adults in England have literacy levels at or below Entry Level 3, which is the literacy level of a 9-11 year old.

Using plain language isn’t just important for fulfilling simple work tasks, it has the power to make a workplace more inclusive and accessible. In other words, using plain language 'makes it easier for us to understand each other and what we do' and 'work better together and deliver better work'.

Don’t think of it as ‘dumbing it down, but opening it up’.

 back for more tips around using plain language and why we should be doing it more.

Our biggest takeaways from Hey! All Day 2023

Chatbots may be capable of producing word-perfect answers, generating text that ticks every box when it comes to readability – even passing exams, apparently. And although bots seem to have all the answers, they’re not always the answer to better blog writing. At least not right now, anyway. Here’s why.

A blog is a platform for news and views. Somewhere for thoughts and feelings; for teaching and inspiring. Basically, it’s a place to be authentically you – and that’s something AI can’t replicate. In our book, the best business blogs are the most human ones. The voices they’re written in might not be the most daring or even reach the Aldi Twitter account levels of wackiness – but they’re real. They’ve been written by a person, for a purpose, about something they’re passionate about. They’re honest, genuine – and may even be a bit rough around the edges. But all of these things make them the kind of blogs you’re going to remember.

Ask Chat GPT to write you a blog that’s four paragraphs long and covers all the main talking points about – let’s say, the importance of brand voice, and it will create exactly that: for you – and for everybody else that asks the same thing. It may be in the perfect blog format, be easy to understand, and have numbered headings that make it accessible to all types of readers. It could be everything that a user is looking for. But it’s not you. It doesn’t reflect your values or mission, showcase your USPs, or build trust: things that your brand’s voice subtly – but certainly – does. So believe us when we say authenticity matters.

If your blog is where you showcase team knowledge and insights – great. Share snippets from behind the scenes? Even better. But if we’re talking about using blogs as a way to answer common search queries then doing something different can give you the edge. Don’t churn out a bot-like answer that the internet has heard a hundred times before – and forget about aiming for the word-perfect answers of the SERP-topping answer box. Use your blog to be unique. Because in a world where bots are guaranteed to give you the safe, the standard, and the forgettable – anything goes.

Now all of this might have got you thinking we’re anti AI. But you have to admit that ChatGPT (and other apps out there) are pretty remarkable. And if they can help make life easier by generating ideas, finding facts, or sourcing foundation content in seconds, we’re here for it. Just be aware that having well-written, Wikipedia-worthy content right there at your fingertips could mean losing sight of why you’re blogging in the first place. That’s why it’s important to use AI to your advantage – and always be wary of employing it full-time as your brand’s newest content writer.

AI and blog writing: use it, but don’t lose it

AI apps are everywhere right now. So we took some time out to separate the great from the gimmicky. Here are 9 of our faves.

A one-click-wonder for removing backgrounds. Whether you want to save as a PNG or add a new background to product photos, remove.bg has got you.

Our go-to app for creating super-resolution assets. It allows you to enlarge and enhance photos and other images in an instant.

Makes finding fonts easier than ever. Upload your font inspo photo and the app searches its database of 230,000 fonts to find the best match.

A content-based one this time – but something we use for high-fi design mock-ups. Drop in your text and Quillbot will rephrase it in seconds.

Say goodbye to superimposed mock-ups. For showcasing branding concepts on everything from swag to billboards, try Place It.

For converting 2D assets to 3D, there’s Morflax. It even lets you customise and animate 3D mock-ups, too. Think device screens, bags, bottles, and more.

TomeAI takes presentation templates one step further. Sales pitches, design portfolios – you name it, Tome helps you create it, fast.

Tiny by name, mega by nature. This one has all your general admin tools: PDF compression, image conversions, spellcheck, and more.

Great for creating simple UI mock-ups - whether you’re in need of inspiration, or want to free up time to focus on the meatier, more complex design tasks. 

Top AI apps right now: design edition

In web development, whether it be fast-paced or not, hiccups happen. Deadlines creep up, budgets fluctuate – there may even be a change in team members. All of these things can lead to development ‘shortcuts’. And this, in turn, builds up technical debt.

Basically, technical debt is all the development work that needs to be done to rectify any corner cutting that was done to keep the project moving forwards.

If a project deadline is far into the future, there’s no reason not to keep with the best practices. By this, I mean neat and tidy code, everything just looking 

, and working perfectly. Sections of code can be built upon, comments in code to document various workings are self-explanatory. It’s what every project 

But, if that deadline is brought forward, suddenly more complex sections might become a bit rougher round the edges and will take a future developer more time to maintain, fix bugs or build upon.

Shifting team members, or onboarding new ones, can occasionally rack up debt, too. If a developer comes onto the project that hasn’t had a reasonable amount of knowledge sharing, or doesn’t have the technical abilities to work on the project efficiently, they might cut corners to get things done.

For example, they might find an area in the project that looks or functions something like the end result and mould it to fit what is needed – without cleaning up any unnecessary parts of the code. What you’re left with is something that works, but is a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster.

There are a few other reasons that can come into play – some are deliberate, others not so much.

A deliberate decision could be pushing forward with development while skipping over the design phase. Developers almost “guess for themselves” as to what the end result should look and function like. Another cause of technical debt could be pushing the project live during a stage of development and being prepared to deal with any consequences afterwards.

The not-so-deliberate reasons for debt build-up could be recklessness i.e. knowingly creating technical debt due to a lack of knowledge. Or, being unaware of the mistakes that are being made along the way.

And, finally, there’s the kind of technical debt that you’re knowingly creating, i.e. after development has taken place, you become aware of a better way of doing things.

Still with me? Great. Now let’s talk about what we can do to reduce that debt.

Once technical debt is identified, it’s better to get a plan in place to clean things up as early as possible. This prevents the debt from increasing, because the more development work is factored into those areas, the harder it will be to clean up later on.

There’s been times when in order to get the project to meet the required design, front-end developers have used unsupported features in CSS files. While these use specific browser prefixes and will eventually be supported across all browsers, using these prefixes also creates a technical debt that can be dealt with later on. A good example of this would be the appearance property that currently needs prefixing with -moz-appearance and -webkit-appearance

Eventually, these prefixes won’t be needed, and can be removed to make the class more efficient and cleaner.

While we’re on the topic of stylesheets, Harry Roberts 

 a stylesheet that exists purely to keep any known trade-offs in, so that it can be easily identified as something to work with later when reducing the debt. Keeping this separated means that when a solution has been worked out to make it more efficient to the known system, it can be removed from this file and placed in an appropriate section of the stylesheet structure. On top of this, it also allows you to do a git blame to find out when, and by who, the debt was introduced.

Debt can be minimised by providing thorough documentation at the end of the design process. This can then be built upon with new components and processes as further development work. It also means new developers can use it as a guide to pick up the project.

Interactive libraries such as Storybook – a Javascript library that allows for components to be built, documentation and tested – are also extremely beneficial when it comes to reducing technical debt.

User feedback and reviews can help identify and reduce technical debt, too. A user could already have knowledge of how the project should look/interact or be completely unfamiliar with it. All feedback is valuable!

So, to sum up – technical debt happens. In some cases it’s avoidable, in others – inevitable. But, being mindful of how best to reduce it (as a team) can help limit those future headaches and promote better ways of working. Win-win right?

4 ways to reduce technical debt during front-end dev

This year’s all about making budgets go further. But when you’re weighing up where your marketing spend will make the biggest impact, there’s one thing you really shouldn’t be cutting corners on – and that’s your branding. Here’s why.

First impressions have never counted more

If there was ever a time to show you take pride in your appearance, it's now. Research by 

 shows that people will make a judgement about your brand within the first 90 seconds – and up to 90% of that decision is based on colour alone. Saying that, it’s important to remember a logo, colour palette or symbol is just a tiny part. Your brand is also your values, your story, and your perspective. So, a stronger, more well-rounded identity shows you care – about your business, your customers, and your future.

Investing in your brand doesn’t always mean upgrading what you have. Most of the time, it’s simply about being more unified in everything you do. Consistency shows confidence in your brand identity, and confidence always inspires trust. This is something that’s never been more important when it comes to new users – especially since 

 that as many as 77% of customers would recommend a brand to a friend after a single positive experience.

You’re only as good as your team. And, when times are tough, you need the best talent behind you if you’re going to come out on top. Investing in your brand is a great way to build engagement among teammates. If everyone’s aligned, you’ll strengthen your brand image across every touchpoint.

Plus, you’ll make your brand something that your people are genuinely proud to be associated with. Do that, and you’ll have a better chance of attracting and keeping the best people, and getting better results across the board.  Win-win, right?

Loyalty will be the word on everyone’s lips this year. Across every industry, people will be shopping around for cheaper alternatives. But the stronger your brand identity, the less likely it is that your current customers will stray away.

Yes, a competitor may be cheaper – but do they really offer more value? The role of your brand identity is to remind your users of everything you stand for and why they loved shopping with you in the past. If you feel you’re out of touch or falling behind, then re-evaluating your brand can help you stay relevant. Your customers identified with you at one point in time, so there’s every chance they will in the future, too.

Impactful advertising is going to be essential for standing out. But having a strong brand identity goes a long way in making your marketing all the more powerful. We’re not saying shake things up for the sake of it – or go bolder, brighter or more playful if that’s not what you’re about. Simply tightening up your look and feel, or even just getting a fresh outlook on your creative assets, can help ensure your brand identity remains relevant, exciting and – above all things – recognisable. Your brand is your biggest asset, so push it further and make it work harder for your business. That’s what it’s there for.

Why the last thing you should cut corners on this year is your branding

Join us

New year, (kind of) new us. Over the last few months, we’ve had some fresh talent join the design team in the form of Simon, Ellie and Dylan, and welcomed our newest developer, Donny. Plus, our oldie (but goodie!) team mate, Alistair, has moved into his brand new role as Development Team Lead.

Read on for a brief intro to the gang – in their own words.

I once worked for a latex fetish brand. They kept sending us NSFW products to display in our (very central) Manchester city centre office. I also did work for a pillow printing start-up, who used to send us printed pillow gifts of our faces blown up on them. So we had loads of our staffs faces on pillows around the office for a while.

We once threw a Christmas party in our (recently kitted out) office. Our boss MASSIVELY underestimated the amount of damage 60+ employees in their mid 20s would cause to the office, which resulted in a very expensive tidy up bill afterwards!

Career wise - my move to Series Eight! Lots of opportunities and I’m very thankful. The team’s also great.

Project-wise - even 3 years down the line, I’m still very proud of my work with PlayStation. A brand like that doesn’t come around often, and it was one of the rare projects I got to give my ‘all’ to. I also had some insanely generous feedback from some key decision-makers at Sony!

AI and automation design. It’s already grown massively over the last 12 months, so it will be interesting to see where it goes in the next 12.

Back in winter 2016, I climbed Norway's iconic Trolltunga. Near the summit, there’s a sign that says "If you're here between September to December, do not climb. Danger of death." The date was October 4th. But, I figured I couldn’t turn back at this point, so pushed on – and nearly slipped off – but the views made it worth it in the end. 

Has to be Better Call Saul, with Breaking Bad being a close second (even named my two dogs Hector and Gustavo). Third place, I’d go with The Last Dance (the story behind Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls). More of a docuseries, but definitely one that sticks in my mind.

I've been lucky enough to see some amazing artists in concert, starting with Skrillex when I was 15. Since then, I've seen Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Post Malone, Ne-Yo, and more. While they were all fantastic, Kendrick Lamar stands out as the best, with Coldplay close behind.

You’ll probably find me playing board games in one of the local taprooms, watching crappy reality TV (looking at you Below Deck), or trying to walk my dog round the streets of Leith. He’s ridiculously small and weird/cute looking so we get stopped by literally every other person asking ‘WHAT IS IT?’ (

read in a thick Scottish accent for authenticity

Probably one of my current clients at Series Eight – a sex toy company. Definitely some of the most fun I’ve had working on a project and never thought I’d feel so at ease chatting about vibrators and lube with my boss. 

Sustainable design creeping into digital. It’s still pretty new and there’s not been very much research put into the area, but there are already so many things we could be doing to create more sustainable (less energy-greedy) websites. As brands try harder to be sustainable, reach B-Corp status or greenwash themselves, I think they’ll pick up on this newer trend.

You’ll probably find me binge-watching videos of my favourite bands or just staring at my guitars…hoping one day I’ll magically be able to play them. Failing that, I’ll be nerding out over a science or history documentary, kicking a football about, or gaming.

I actually used to be a chef. I learned the ropes working in a flame-grilled steakhouse before working in an Indian restaurant. I’d secretly always wanted to be a pastry chef. But looking back, I’m definitely glad that food didn’t become my day job!

Professionally, I’d say the fact that I’m completely self-taught. I started coding as a hobby when I was 14, so I feel really lucky to have turned something that I love into a career. Personally – without a doubt, becoming a dad.

I worked in Scotland's largest ski resort for almost a decade. I spent my days sorting out ski hire, selling tickets, running lifts, and ended up doing a bit of everything. By the end of my stint, I was a qualified ski instructor and determined that was going to be my career!

It was in an old converted whisky cellar in Edinburgh’s old town called The Caves. It is ridiculously atmospheric and cool, which made seeing ‘The Japanese House’ there amazing. Other gig highlights include The Shins, De Staat, Yumi Zouma and Another Sky.

I'm probably walking up a Scottish mountain in the middle of nowhere, shouting into the wind. Or I'm out skiing – also shouting.

My biggest web development prediction for 2023

Legislation will sneak up on the industry. There are a handful of laws coming up that concern competition on the web and accessibility requirements that could have huge consequences for building websites.

New year, new teamies

Vote for us

That’s right, the people at awwwards have shortlisted us as one of the 40 best global web agencies in 2022. And to say we’re over the moon is an understatement.


Last year turned out to be a pretty big year for us. We designed, dev’ed and launched a record number of sites, collab’ed with some incredible brands, and pushed the boundaries (and ourselves) further than ever before.

We even scooped a couple of awards in the process – ‘

’ for our very own Series Eight site. But to even be nominated for Agency of the Year, by a team as prestigious as the awwwards jury, hasn’t just made our day – it’s made our decade.

We can’t let something like this go by without saying a huge thank you – to the team, our community, and all our clients past and present. Without you, we wouldn’t love doing what we do. And it’s moments like this that make us feel all the more grateful.

We’re up for Agency of the Year!
