Ron Young Motors, a trusted name in vehicle servicing and MOTs in Sussex, recently partnered with View 6 to modernise their online presence. While the business doesn’t sell products or services online, their website plays a critical role in building trust, showcasing services, and enabling customer enquiries. With their previous site running on WordPress, they began to experience performance issues, security concerns, and increasing maintenance demands. The decision was made to move to Shopify—not for e-commerce, but to take advantage of its powerful, secure, and easy-to-use content management system (CMS).

Why Migrate from WordPress to Shopify?

WordPress is a flexible platform, but it often relies heavily on plugins for core functionality and requires frequent updates to maintain security. For a business like Ron Young Motors, which doesn’t have an in-house web team, managing WordPress became time-consuming and technically demanding. Issues like plugin conflicts, update errors, and spam enquiries were becoming regular headaches.

Shopify, while traditionally known for e-commerce, also offers an incredibly user-friendly and secure CMS that’s perfect for businesses that simply want a clean, fast, and easy-to-manage website. With Shopify’s fully hosted infrastructure, automatic updates, and intuitive editor, it was the ideal platform to give Ron Young Motors the peace of mind and flexibility they needed.

The Migration Process

View 6 handled the full migration process, starting with a design refresh to align the website with the company’s professional image and values. Content was streamlined and updated, service pages were restructured for clarity, and contact forms were rebuilt to improve usability and reduce spam.

Even though no products are sold online, Shopify’s customisable templates allowed for a layout that highlights key services, opening hours, location information, and a clear call-to-action for bookings and enquiries.

The Result

The new website is faster, more secure, and incredibly easy for the team at Ron Young Motors to update—whether that’s changing text, uploading images, or updating contact details. With built-in hosting, SSL, and automated security updates, there’s no need to worry about site maintenance or third-party plugins.

By leveraging Shopify’s strengths outside of e-commerce, Ron Young Motors now has a dependable, professional digital presence that works as hard as they do—without the technical hassle. View 6 is proud to support their journey into a more modern and manageable web experience.
