Shopify agency Canary Islands

Extended timezone coverage

The Canary Islands are on GMT/WET timezone, one hour behind mainland Spain and aligned with UK winter time. This positioning offers several advantages:

Earlier morning availability. Team members in the Canary Islands start their day with earlier UK morning coverage, useful for urgent client needs.

American timezone overlap. Better availability for calls and collaboration with US East Coast clients, with reasonable overlap for Central and West Coast timezones.

Distributed team resilience. Having team members across multiple locations provides continuity and flexibility in how we deliver projects.
