Project Brief / Background

Homewood Delights approached Realup to build their premium online wine and spirits store from the ground up on Shopify. With a vast curated product range and a discerning customer base in mind, they needed a sophisticated, conversion-focused e-commerce platform backed by strong SEO and marketing foundations.

Goals

Launch a premium Shopify store for wines and spirits
Build a seamless shopping experience across all devices
Drive organic traffic through targeted SEO strategy
Challenges

No existing online presence or e-commerce infrastructure
Navigating UK alcohol retail compliance and age verification requirements
Managing a large, multi-category product catalogue across wines, spirits, and food
Competing in a saturated premium drinks e-commerce market

Project Strategy

Our strategy centred on building a premium, conversion-optimised Shopify store that reflects the quality and curation at the heart of the Homewood Delights brand — while laying strong digital foundations for long-term growth.

From the outset, we focused on creating a sophisticated shopping experience that guides customers effortlessly from discovery to checkout. The store was built to handle a large, multi-category catalogue with clean navigation, fast load times, and age-compliant purchasing flows. Alongside the build, we established SEO, content, and marketing infrastructure to drive organic visibility and paid acquisition from day one.

Website Development – Built a fully responsive Shopify store with multi-category navigation, age verification, store pickup, and seamless checkout.
SEO Foundations – Keyword research, optimised product and collection pages, metadata, blog setup, and structured data for wine and spirits searches.
