About
A small studio for brands that sell for a living.
Red Gorilla is a Melbourne-based Shopify agency. We are deliberately small, so the people you meet in the first call are the people who do the work.
What we believe
Most storefronts do not need more ideas. They need fewer, better decisions, made earlier and measured properly.
We started Red Gorilla after a decade inside retailers and larger agencies, watching good brands pay for decoration that never moved a number. Our work is the opposite of that: plain about the goal, careful with the detail, and honest about what did not work.
We work exclusively on Shopify, which means we know where the platform bends and where it breaks. That focus is why our builds tend to launch on time and keep paying back long after the launch party.

How we work
Four habits we will not trade away.
Start with the number
Every project begins with the metric it is meant to move, agreed before any design starts.
Say no early
We would rather cut a feature in week one than explain a missed launch in week ten.
Build for the team after us
Systems, documentation and handovers that your own people can run without us.
Report the losses too
Tests that failed and ideas that did not land go in the report, next to the wins.
Credentials
Partners and proof.
