Website migration

Building one stronger Northside Grocer website

We’re bringing the retail side of Northside Grocer and Pippa’s Kitchen together in one clearer Shopify experience. This page explains the website structure, content review, Cookaborough data assessment and SEO protection Buddy is working through.

Design and Shopify setup underwayLast updated: 29 October 2026

Design is 95% complete and the new website pages are ready for your review. Open any page below and add your feedback in Pastel. The additional pages are ready for review until Sunday night, 1 November. We are working through the earlier feedback in parallel; once this review is complete and approved, the design phase can be formally completed.
