A Shopify store built to convert, not just launch.
Theme setup, custom builds, and headless storefronts for Shopify, plus the ongoing CRO, SEO, and pagespeed work that keeps a store growing after launch. No account managers, no handoffs: the person who builds it is the one you'll talk to after.
Why most growing stores land on Shopify
If you're still weighing platforms, here's what actually matters once real orders start coming in.
Checkout & payments
PCI compliance, fraud protection, and payment processing are Shopify's job, not something you configure yourself and hope you got right.
Hosting, scale & uptime
The same infrastructure handles your first sale and a Black Friday spike. No server to maintain, no security patches on your to-do list.
The biggest app ecosystem in ecommerce
Thousands of vetted apps for shipping, subscriptions, reviews, and marketing. Most of what you'll ever need already exists.
A theme built around how you sell
The platform gives every store the same foundation. What makes yours convert is the theme, the sections, and the buying experience we build on it.
Speed, SEO & conversion work
Shopify keeps the store up; it doesn't make it fast, findable, or good at turning visits into orders. That's the work we do, at launch and after.
Apps & integrations, chosen and wired
The ecosystem is huge. Picking the right apps and connecting them to how your business actually runs is where a developer earns their keep.
We'll create your Shopify store for you through our Partner dashboard, at no cost. The entire build happens on it for free, and you only start paying Shopify when you're ready to launch.
No monthly Shopify costs during development. Your subscription starts when the store goes live.Three ways to get your Shopify store built
Different stores need different builds. Here's how the three routes actually compare, and what would make each one the right call.
Theme-based setup
A proven Shopify theme, configured around your products and brand, built to launch fast.
Custom theme development
Hand-coded around how you actually sell, not a template with your logo dropped in.
Headless Shopify storefront
Shopify handles checkout and inventory; a custom frontend handles speed and design.
Not sure which fits? That's what discovery is for. We'll recommend one based on your catalog, your budget, and how fast you need to launch.
Outgrown your current setup, or moving from somewhere else?
A theme that can't keep up with what you're selling now, a checkout that's quietly leaking conversions, or you're ready to leave WooCommerce, Wix, or BigCommerce behind. Whatever the reason, the move doesn't mean starting from zero.
Your catalog and customers come with you
Products, customer accounts, and order history migrate over during the move. Some things, like platform-specific apps or custom checkout logic, don't always survive a cross-platform migration cleanly, and we'll tell you upfront if it's better rebuilt than migrated.
What happens after launch, for as long as you need it
A launched store is the start, not the finish. This is the ongoing side of the work: growth, upkeep, and everything that connects to it.
CRO, SEO, and pagespeed, worked continuously, not once
Flexible hourly blocks for whatever your store needs next: conversion tests, on-page SEO, speed fixes, seasonal updates. Scoped to what you actually need this month, not a fixed generic package.
API and app integrations are part of the same partnership: connecting Shopify to whatever the rest of your business runs on.
Whichever path you're on, this is how it goes
Discovery & fit
We figure out what actually fits (theme-based, custom, or headless, new build or migration) and confirm the scope together before any development starts.
Build on a working copy first
Everything happens on a duplicate or staging version of your store. You review the real thing, and nothing goes live until you approve it.
Launch, then keep growing
Your store goes live with analytics connected. Ongoing CRO, SEO, and pagespeed work is there whenever you're ready, with no obligation to sign up upfront.
Questions we get asked
Straight answers, since most of these come up before someone signs up, not after.
Don't see yours? .
Is Shopify the right platform for my business?
For most product-based businesses, yes. Shopify handles the technical heavy lifting (checkout, hosting, security) so you can focus on the store itself. If you're still deciding, reach out and we'll walk you through whether it actually fits before you commit to anything.
Theme-based, custom, or headless: which one do I need?
It depends on your budget, timeline, and how much performance and customization you need. A theme-based setup gets you live fastest; custom theme development gives full brand control; headless is for stores that need the fastest, most optimized experience possible. We'll walk you through which one fits before recommending any of them.
Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce, Wix, or BigCommerce?
Yes. Your products, customer accounts, and order history migrate over during the move. Some things, like platform-specific apps or custom checkout logic, don't always survive a cross-platform migration cleanly, and in those cases we'll tell you upfront if it's better rebuilt than migrated.
Will my SEO rankings survive a migration?
Yes. Every migration follows SEO best practices, including a full redirect plan and preserved metadata, so the rankings and traffic you've already earned carry over instead of resetting to zero.
What determines the cost and timeline?
The most useful starting point is your budget. Tell us the number you have in mind and we'll tell you honestly what it can get you: a custom or headless build takes more time than a theme-based setup, and a migration with a large product catalog is a different project than a fresh store. No budget in mind yet? Describe your store and we'll come back with a scoped quote, usually within a day.
What does the ongoing retainer actually include?
Flexible hourly blocks covering CRO, SEO, pagespeed optimization, and general ongoing development, scoped to what your store needs that month, not a fixed package with features you're not using. No retainer is required to work with us on a one-time build.
Do you handle API and app integrations?
Yes. Inventory and fulfillment systems, email/SMS marketing platforms, subscription apps, and custom internal tools. If it needs to talk to your Shopify store, that's part of the same ongoing partnership.
Can I see examples of Shopify stores you've built?
Most of our client work is covered under NDA, so we can't list it publicly. Reach out and we'll walk you through relevant examples that match what you're building.
Do you work white label for agencies?
Yes. We build under NDA for design, dev, and marketing/SEO agencies who need extra development capacity. Deliverables carry your branding, not ours, and you set your own pricing to your client.
Ready for a Shopify store that sells, not just launches?
200+ websites shipped, and still just the developer who built it answering your emails, not a support queue.
