The Problem

Most Shopify stores use a $180 theme out of the box, install 20 apps that slow the site to a crawl, and wonder why their conversion rate is 0.8% when the industry average is 1.5–2%. The problem is almost never the product — it is the store. Slow pages, confusing navigation, a checkout that does not build trust, and product pages that answer the wrong questions all kill sales before they start.

Our Solution

We build Shopify stores engineered for conversion, not just aesthetics. That means custom theme development in Liquid and React/Hydrogen for performance, strategic product page architecture that answers buyer questions in the right order, a checkout flow tested for friction, and only the apps your store actually needs. We also handle the back end: ERP and inventory sync, subscription systems, multi-currency, and fulfilment integrations. Every store we launch comes with Core Web Vitals targeting 85+ on mobile — because Google uses page speed in Shopping rankings.

Exactly What You Get

Every Shopify project includes these specific deliverables. No vague scope, no hidden extras.

1

Custom Shopify Theme

Fully custom Liquid theme built to your brand specifications — not a modified template. Optimized for Core Web Vitals with scores targeting 85+ on mobile.

2

Conversion-Optimised Product Pages

Product page architecture designed to answer buyer questions in the right order: above-the-fold value proposition, social proof, feature breakdown, FAQs, and related products.

3

Shopify App Stack

Recommended and configured app stack covering reviews, upsells, subscriptions, email capture, and loyalty — chosen for minimal performance impact.

4

SEO Foundation

Structured data for products (Product schema), collection pages, breadcrumbs, XML sitemap, canonical tags, and meta tag templates.

5

Payment & Checkout

Payment provider setup (Stripe, PayPal, Shop Pay, BNPL), checkout customization for trust signals, and abandoned cart recovery sequence.

6

Analytics & Tracking

GA4 e-commerce tracking, Meta Pixel, Google Shopping feed, and conversion event verification via GTM.

Pricing Framework

Shopify store builds range from $2,000 for a clean theme customization with product setup and SEO to $30,000+ for a full Shopify Plus custom store with custom apps, ERP integration, subscription management, and international commerce. Most DTC brand launches run $5,000–$15,000. Migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce are scoped separately based on catalogue size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Shopify service.

How much does a custom Shopify store cost?

Custom Shopify development ranges from $2,000 for a theme customization to $30,000+ for a Shopify Plus store with custom apps and ERP integration. Most DTC brand launches run $5,000–$15,000 for a fully custom theme, app stack, and SEO foundation.

Can you migrate my store to Shopify from WooCommerce or Magento?

Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, and custom platforms. Migrations include all products, collections, customer accounts, order history, and 301 redirects for every URL so your SEO rankings are preserved.

Do you build custom Shopify apps?

Yes. We build custom Shopify apps for functionality not available in the App Store: custom product configurators, specialized B2B pricing, unique checkout experiences, and integrations with your specific ERP or 3PL.

What is Shopify Plus and do I need it?

Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier of Shopify, starting at $2,300/month. It unlocks checkout customization via checkout.liquid (now Checkout Extensibility), dedicated support, higher API rate limits, multi-store management, B2B features, and Launchpad for sale events. Most stores do not need Plus until revenue is consistently above $1M/year.

Will my Shopify store be SEO-optimized?

Yes. We implement Product schema markup, collection breadcrumb schema, XML sitemap, canonical tags, hreflang for international stores, optimized meta titles and descriptions, and alt text on all images. We also configure a Google Shopping product feed for paid search.

How long does a Shopify store build take?

A clean theme customization with product setup takes 2–3 weeks. A fully custom Shopify theme with bespoke functionality takes 6–12 weeks. Complex Shopify Plus builds with custom apps and ERP integration take 12–20 weeks.
