Shopify stores that don’t need twenty apps to work
Why choose Shopify
Shopify takes care of hosting, security and updates to the platform itself, so there’s less to look after. It suits you if:
- You want to focus on selling, not servers. Shopify handles uptime, security and checkout.
- You want a checkout customers already trust. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay work out of the box.
- You sell in more than one place. Shopify links your website with shops on Instagram, Google, marketplaces and in person.
- You’d rather pay a predictable monthly fee than organise hosting yourself.
The trade-offs: you pay Shopify every month, some features only come through paid apps, and there are limits on how far the checkout can be changed. If you need more control, WooCommerce may suit you better. Here’s our honest comparison.
How we do it differently
Your own theme
We build a theme around your products and brand, or reshape an existing one properly, rather than stacking customisations on top of a template.
Code instead of apps, where it makes sense
Many apps do something simple for a monthly fee and slow your pages down while they’re at it. Where a feature can live in your theme, we build it in. You pay once, not every month.
Easy to manage
We use Shopify’s own sections and blocks, so you can change your homepage, collections and landing pages yourself without breaking anything.
The store is yours
Your theme and data sit in your own Shopify account from day one. Nobody can hold them to ransom.
Moving to Shopify from another platform?
A Shopify migration is mostly about keeping what you’ve built up. We move your products, customers and order history, and redirect every old web address so Google and your customers can still find you. And we’ll be honest if we think moving won’t solve your problem.
Questions
How much does a custom Shopify store cost?
It depends on your catalogue, how custom the design is and what it needs to connect to. Tell us your budget on the quote form and we’ll say straight away what’s realistic.
How long does it take?
It can be as little as three months from your first enquiry to launch. The biggest factor is usually how quickly feedback, content and sign-off come back from your side, so we’ll agree a realistic timeline with you at the start.
Can you work on my existing Shopify store?
Yes. We can add features, speed it up, cut back on apps or redesign parts of it without starting again.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. Shopify Plus uses the same themes as standard Shopify, so everything on this page applies. If you need Plus-only features, like checkout customisation, tell us early and we’ll talk through what’s involved.
What happens after launch?
Everything we build is guaranteed for three months, and we’ll always fix bugs in our own work. For ongoing changes, see our support plans.
