Who You Work with on Your Store

Edinburgh founders, marketing directors and e-commerce managers often run a store around a busy season. We work with them and with the staff who handle products and orders.

A Named Lead for Your Store

Your project lead is a single person who owns delivery and takes your calls. Shopify developers, designers and QA sit behind them, so you draw on a team rather than one freelancer.

Calm, Written Communication

Expect video calls or in-person meetings by arrangement, with brief written notes in the gaps. Each one lists decisions taken, changes made and anything we need from you.

Next to Merchandisers

We work with your merchandisers, marketers and any in-house developers, plus any supplier already on the store. Clear documentation and a tidy handover keep daily control with your team.

Stores We Build for Edinburgh Sellers

Refills, routines, gift sets.
Plan for
Ingredient lists and the claims you make
Shopify’s plans come with limits and fees. So before a design is settled, we test your products, markets and payment methods against the plan you would end up on.

Shopify, WooCommerce or Webflow? A Plain-English Guide

Platform choice turns on your range, on who will manage the store and on how much control you need. Here is how we set the three side by side for Edinburgh sellers.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
A hosted store with built-in checkout that your staff can run without calling a developer.
Watch for
Fees per transaction and plan caps apply, and complex custom logic often needs add-on apps.
Platform

WooCommerce

WooCommerce development
Pick it when
Good if WordPress already runs your site and you want to shape how the store behaves.
Watch for
Hosting, updates and security stay in your hands.
Platform

Webflow E-Commerce

Webflow development
Pick it when
Fits a compact, design-led catalogue where you want fine control over appearance.
Watch for
Fewer products and fewer checkout options fit comfortably.
Sell abroad or at high volume? We compare Shopify Plus against the standard plans first, then recommend one.

What We Check Before a Shopify Store Goes Live

Orders and organic visits slip away fastest on launch day, so this list is worked through every time.
Check the Current Targets

Core Web Vitals guidance on Google Search Central →

Test orders placed with every payment option you offer
Tax, shipping zones and delivery rates compared with your rules
Product data, variants, images and collections checked for gaps
Every old URL redirected to its new page when you migrate
Page speed tested against Core Web Vitals targets
WCAG 2.2 accessibility checks, with attention to contrast and keyboard use
Analytics, cookie consent and order tracking configured
Staff logins with suitable permissions, and backups

What Shapes the Cost of a Shopify Store

We keep prices off the page, since a Shopify store may be a handful of gifts or a whole trade catalogue. Six factors shift the effort most, and a call pins each of them down.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
every template is designed from scratch for your brand
↓ Costs less when
a theme that already exists is tailored to your look

Catalogue

↑ Costs more when
many products with layered variants and bundles must be imported
↓ Costs less when
the range is small and the options are plain

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
it must link to ticketing, stock, ERP or fulfilment systems
↓ Costs less when
off-the-shelf connectors meet your needs

Migration

↑ Costs more when
a long run of past orders, customers and URLs has to come over
↓ Costs less when
the store starts fresh with nothing to import

Markets and Payments

↑ Costs more when
visitors and trade buyers pay in different currencies and methods
↓ Costs less when
one market and a payment method or two are enough

Custom Features

↑ Costs more when
bespoke bundles, gift logic or trade rules are needed
↓ Costs less when
Shopify’s built-in features cover the job

Hire Shopify Developers

Choose by stage. A founder’s first store often suits a fixed build, a seasonal seller may prefer time and material, and a trading team adding capacity suits dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

The scope and cost are set before building begins. Right when your brief is clear and a launch date is fixed.
Suits

Time and Material

You pay for hours worked and change priorities as each season shows what sells.
Suits
Stores whose range shifts through the year

Dedicated Shopify Developers

A developer or more takes your backlog sprint by sprint. Right for teams that release changes every week.

How to Choose a Shopify Agency

Plenty of agencies put Shopify on their skills list. Our seven questions reveal who works in it every day.
01

Can You Show Stores Built on Shopify?

Listen for
Real stores you can click through, rather than mock-ups.
02

Who Looks After the Store After Launch?

Listen for
Your team, trained by us, with written guides and our help for larger changes.
03

How Will Our Search Traffic Fare During the Migration?

Listen for
Redirects mapped page by page, metadata reviewed and results watched after go-live.
04

What If an Earlier Supplier Abandoned the Store Midway?

Listen for
An audit of theme and apps first, followed by a written plan.
05

How Will the Store Cope with a Busy Week?

Listen for
Load and checkout testing before launch, with speed and accessibility targets.
06

Will You Fit in with Our Marketing Lead or In-House Developer?

Listen for
Yes, with your tools and every handover agreed early.
07

If Shopify Is the Wrong Fit, Will You Tell Us?

Listen for
Yes, after weighing WooCommerce and Webflow on their merits.

How We Run a Shopify Project

Six stages, and each one finishes with something you can review. How long they take depends on the store’s size.
01

Discovery

About a week to review your products, orders, calendar of peaks and the existing store.
02

Scoping

Typically one to two weeks to pin down features and integrations, ending in a written quote.
03

Design and Prototyping

Around two weeks to draw up page designs and a prototype you can click through.
04

Store Build

We assemble the theme, catalogue, checkout and integrations in short stages and review each with you.
05

Evaluation

We test orders, speed, accessibility and redirects before the store is live.
06

Launch and Support

The go-live itself, monitoring after it, staff training and your chosen support plan.
Each stage ends with something you can review.

The Villas Mooloolaba

Hospitality / Boutique Vacation Rental
The Villas Mooloolaba does the hard part well – four unique two-bedroom villas around a shared pool on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: competing against hotel chains and OTA listings meant direct booking had to feel just as easy, and guests couldn’t easily compare all four villas.
