Island wizards

Island Wizards is a web development agency based in Ahmedabad, India. The company has worked with clients since at least 2015 and maintains a client roster spanning e-commerce, SaaS, and WordPress-based businesses. They work across Shopify stores, MERN stack applications, WordPress sites, and headless architectures.

Clients including BoroughBox (working together for over a decade), Harper Concierge, Beautii, AJV Global, and Massive Web Solutions have cited quick turnarounds and cost-effective delivery. One founder noted Island Wizards removed "all the stress away from tech development" so leadership could focus on growth. Another praised the speed of Shopify tweaks and described the work as "cost effective."

Services and capabilities

Island Wizards splits its offering across four main stacks: Shopify, MERN, WordPress (including headless), and Webflow.

Shopify: The agency handles store development, custom theme design, Shopify app development, migrations, SEO optimization, performance tuning, conversion rate optimization, and ongoing maintenance. They've built stores for Fruuurskin, Être Cécile, Evarae, Seren London, Cerebrum Films, Its Her Way, and Milk and Water.

MERN Stack: They build custom web and mobile applications, single-page applications (SPAs) with React.js, RESTful APIs, and handle MongoDB database design. The development process includes backend work with Node.js and Express.js, frontend component building, deployment to production, and ongoing maintenance with CI/CD pipelines. Portfolio projects include Tutti Space, bndle, Premier Plus, and Little Steps Financing.

WordPress: Services cover site build, custom Shopify theme development (confusingly labeled under WordPress on their site), and support. Client sites include iCode Tech, iCode School, iCode Franchise, UK PropTech Association, and Beautii.co.

IT Staff Augmentation: Island Wizards provides developers, engineers, QA testers, and project managers on short-term, long-term, or project-based engagement. They cover full-stack, front-end, back-end, and mobile development, plus manual and automated testing.

They also offer Quality Assurance and Testing (manual and automated) and list headless WordPress expertise.

Notable work

Portfolio examples include Tutti Space and bndle (both MERN), Premier Plus and Little Steps Financing (MERN), Fruuurskin and Être Cécile (Shopify), Evarae, Seren London, Cerebrum Films, Its Her Way, and Milk and Water (Shopify). A headless WordPress case study is mentioned but not named.

One long-term client, Andy Lawson of BoroughBox, stated the relationship lasted more than a decade "on a variety of projects." Jodie Hayes of Beautii noted they began working with Island Wizards in 2015. Liam Young of Harper Concierge emphasized the agency's value went "far exceeds the tech" itself.

How they work

Island Wizards uses a six-phase process: Discovery (understanding and insight), Strategy (blueprint and roadmap), Design (aesthetics and functionality), Develop (build, integrate, test), Launch (deploy and optimize), and Grow (support, evolve, scale).

For MERN stack projects specifically, they follow Project Inception, Backend Development (Node.js/Express.js), Database Integration (MongoDB), Frontend Development (React), Deployment, and Maintenance phases.

IT staff augmentation follows Requirement Analysis, Talent Selection, Seamless Onboarding, and Ongoing Support. They offer three engagement models: Short-Term Engagement for urgent gaps, Long-Term Augmentation for extended team capacity, and Project-Based Support for specific milestones.
