§ 01
Market context

The average UK store converts at 1.4%. We build for 3.2%+.

Shopify crossed £1 trillion in cumulative GMV.

Entrepreneurs make their first Shopify sale every 26 seconds. The platform is the de facto infrastructure of UK eCommerce — but only if your store is built to convert.

79% of Shopify traffic arrives on mobile.

Most stores are still optimised for desktop. Every store we ship is mobile-first by default — that's where the conversion gap lives.

244,694 UK Shopify stores.

Most are under-optimised. Specialist development is the difference between a store that converts at 1.4% and one that converts at 3.2%+.

Premium UK agencies charge £14k–£40k for this scope.

Our productised packages start at £1,999. Same OS 2.0, same Core Web Vitals, same dedicated PM. No £160/hr blended-rate padding.

FAQ

Build questions.

Is the Shopify store development price really fixed? +

Yes. Scope is locked at proposal stage. Change requests receive a written change order with delta cost and timeline before any work begins — no surprise invoices, ever.

Do I own the code on a Shopify store build? +

Yes. Full theme source ships to your GitHub on day one of the engagement. There is no licence lock-in and no ongoing rights retained by us. You can take the code to another developer at any time.

What if I need Shopify Plus instead of standard Shopify? +

Plus builds are quoted bespoke. The £12,999 Scale package can be deployed on Plus for the same scope; multi-store, B2B, or custom Functions add cost. We size the Plus tier requirement during scoping based on your GMV and feature needs.

Can you migrate my existing product catalog into the new store? +

Yes — catalog migration is included for stores under 4,000 SKUs. Larger catalogs add 1–2 weeks of scope and are quoted in the proposal. Customer accounts, order history, and SEO redirects are migrated as standard.

What's included after a Shopify store launches? +

30 days of post-launch support is included: bug fixes, copy tweaks, app reconfiguration, and minor visual tweaks. After that, you can move to an optional maintenance retainer or pay-as-you-go hourly support.

How long does a Shopify store build take? +

Starter Store: 7–10 days. Growth Store: 3–4 weeks. Scale Package: 5–7 weeks. Plus migrations: 7–11 weeks. Timeline includes design, build, content load, UAT, and 30-day post-launch support window.

What's the difference between a Shopify theme install and a custom build? +

A theme install configures an existing premium theme to your brand (£1,999 Starter tier). A custom build creates bespoke sections and a brand-aligned design system from Figma (£5,999 Growth) or fully bespoke designs (£12,999+ Scale). Custom builds give you content patterns merchandisers can reuse without developer involvement.

Do you handle SEO during a new Shopify store build? +

Yes — basic SEO is included on every tier. Schema.org markup, meta tags, OG tags, sitemap, robots.txt, redirect mapping (where migrating), and Core Web Vitals optimisation are baked into the build. Advanced SEO work (content strategy, link building) is quoted separately as a CRO sprint or retainer.

Can I have a Shopify store built and a maintenance retainer combined? +

Yes — most clients sign a 3-month maintenance retainer that begins on go-live. This gives you continuous developer access for post-launch tweaks, app updates, and CRO experiments without negotiating each one separately. The retainer is quoted alongside the build.
