Shopify Experts
Bespoke Shopify stores built to sell, not just sit there
As official Shopify Partners we design, build and migrate stores that actually convert. Custom themes, clean checkouts, fast load times and SEO foundations done properly. From product launch to platform migration, we handle every part of the Shopify journey.
Sound familiar?
Your store should be your best salesperson
Most e-commerce sites we redesign came from one of three places: a generic Shopify template that does not reflect the brand, a different platform that has stopped scaling, or an old Shopify store that has been bolted on to over the years. Whatever the starting point, the symptoms are the same: poor conversion rates, slow checkout, abandoned carts, and customers who do not come back.
Problems we see all the time
- Generic theme that looks like every other Shopify store
- High cart abandonment from a clunky checkout flow
- Slow load times killing mobile conversions
- Poorly organised collections that hide your best products
- WooCommerce or Magento store that has outgrown its platform
What we do
Every part of the Shopify build, handled
From theme design to migration to ongoing optimisation, we cover the full Shopify lifecycle.
Custom theme design
Bespoke Shopify themes built around your brand, not a template that 10,000 other stores are using. Designed to convert your specific audience.
Store setup & configuration
Payment gateways, shipping zones, tax setup, product imports, collection structure and apps configured properly from day one.
Platform migrations
WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce or Squarespace to Shopify. We migrate products, customers, orders and SEO redirects so nothing gets lost.
Mobile-first design
Most Shopify traffic is mobile. We design and test on phones first, then scale up to tablets and desktops, so every customer gets a fast, frictionless experience.
Shopify SEO
Clean URLs, meta tags, schema markup, image optimisation and site speed baked in. Every store launches with proper SEO foundations from day one.
Training & ongoing support
Full handover and training so your team can manage the store, plus optional ongoing support if you would rather we handle the day-to-day.

Shopify FAQ
Are you official Shopify Partners?
Yes. We are official Shopify Partners, which means direct access to Shopify support, early features, and the ability to set up partner-managed stores with the right configuration from day one. It also means our team has been vetted by Shopify themselves.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
Project pricing depends on whether you need a customised theme, a fully bespoke build, or a migration from another platform. Most stores fall between £2,500 and £8,000 plus your Shopify subscription. We quote a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
Can you migrate me from WooCommerce, Magento or Squarespace?
Yes. We handle Shopify migrations from all the major platforms, including WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce and Squarespace. We migrate products, customers, orders and SEO redirects so nothing is lost in the move, and your existing rankings are preserved.
How long does a Shopify build take?
A theme-based store usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. A fully custom Shopify build takes 6 to 10 weeks depending on functionality. The biggest variable is product data and content readiness from your side, the quicker you can get us images and copy, the quicker we can launch.
Do you do Shopify SEO?
Yes. Every Shopify store we build comes with on-page SEO foundations: clean URLs, meta tags, schema markup, image optimisation and site speed. For ongoing SEO campaigns to grow rankings, see our SEO services.
Will you train my team to manage the store?
Yes. Every Shopify project includes a handover and training session so you can manage products, content, orders and customers confidently. We also offer ongoing support through our care plans if you would rather we handle the day-to-day.
