By Harish Malhi, founder of Goodspeed. Updated 10 November 2026.
Aware Digital and Goodspeed are not close substitutes. Aware builds and markets online stores, mainly on Magento 2, Adobe Commerce and Hyvä. We design and build marketing websites for funded SaaS and AI companies, in Framer. People land on this page when they are choosing a web partner and one of the names in front of them is an ecommerce agency. The useful question is whether you need a store, or a marketing site that has to be ready for a raise, a launch or a press moment.

Two different jobs
Aware Digital is a specialist ecommerce agency. Its site positions it as a full service Magento agency and a UK Hyvä and Adobe Commerce partner, and it also offers WordPress and Shopify work. The founders, brothers Andy and Rich, started the company in 2018. The careers page says the team grew from two people in 2018 to 15 by 2023 and 2024. On its Adobe Commerce page it says the team has been developing with Magento since 2011 and became an official Adobe Commerce partner in 2018. Its Audio Technica work won Best eCommerce Site at the Northern Digital Awards.
We sell the marketing website as a project. You get a fixed price and a date the site will go live before anything starts. We build in Framer by default, and we set the site up so your marketing team can run it after launch. Brand identity is quoted separately, and you bring the copy. We are not a Magento, Adobe Commerce or Shopify agency, and we do not build online stores.
Price and timeline
Aware does not publish project prices or a standard timeline on its site. Quotes are handled with their team.
Our prices are published: Landing Page from $2,500, Signature Site from $10,000, Migration from $10,000, and the Embedded Team from $2,000 a month. Most first builds land between $15,000 and $25,000, fixed before we start and paid 50% up front and 50% at launch. A Signature Site goes live in three to six weeks, and a Landing Page in about five working days.
Choose Aware Digital if
You run, or are moving to, an online store on Magento 2, Adobe Commerce or Shopify.
You need Hyvä, ERP or CRM integrations, or a rescue of an existing Magento build.
You want one UK ecommerce team for development and performance marketing.
Choose Goodspeed if
You are a funded tech company whose marketing site no longer matches the company. Sydecar is the proof for that situation. Gavin Newman, Marketing Manager, said: “Goodspeed felt like an extension of our team. They provided daily updates via Slack and Loom, so we always knew exactly what was happening and what was coming next.”
A raise, launch or press date is coming and the site has to be ready. Reka needed pages live the day each model was announced.
You want a fixed price and a date the site will go live, written down before work starts.
Your marketing team will run the site after launch, without waiting on a developer. Zen Educate now runs ten times more growth experiments without engineering. Olivier Mermet, Group Product Manager, said: “Goodspeed were a brilliant partner throughout the migration. They were fast, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with.”
What to ask any studio before you hire
Is the price fixed, and when is it paid?
What is the date the site will go live, in writing, before work starts?
Who does the work, and are they in house?
Can your marketing team edit the site after launch without a developer?
If you are moving platforms, how are URLs, redirects and rankings protected?
What does help look like after launch, and can you pause it?
If you are moving a marketing site and rankings matter, we plan the move URL by URL. Waste Logics moved from WordPress to Framer with no rankings lost, and organic search rose 44% within five weeks.
