Build in Amsterdam
Company Overview
Build in Amsterdam is a Dutch digital agency specializing in brand-led ecommerce strategy, design and development. Its work is concentrated among premium fashion, consumer and lifestyle brands where the digital flagship must express a distinct identity while still following the usability patterns customers expect from modern commerce.
The agency combines research, platform strategy, UX/UI, design systems, content direction and full-stack ecommerce development. Shopify is prominent in its current portfolio, with custom themes and operational scripts used to support international merchandising, translation, inventory and flexible storytelling.
Akris was redesigned and rebuilt as a heavily customized Shopify digital flagship with translation and inventory logic supporting global operations. Alpine combined a full identity refresh with a custom Shopify Online Store 2.0 implementation designed for modular content and accessibility. These projects show Build in Amsterdam’s strength in translating premium brand systems into technically complete, shoppable digital experiences.
