Who You Work with on Your Store

Leicester founders, e-commerce managers and marketing directors get a small named group to deal with, whatever the range, from garments to food to trade parts.

A Named Lead for the Store

One named project lead is accountable for delivery and answers your calls. Backing them are Shopify developers, designers and QA testers, giving you a wider team without any hiring on your side.

Short Updates, No Jargon

We meet on video or in person by arrangement and follow with brief written updates. They cover what was decided, what moved on and what we need from you.

Working with Your Team

We work with your merchandisers, marketers and any in-house developers, as well as any supplier already involved. Clear documentation and a tidy handover leave your staff confident running the store.

Shopify, WooCommerce or Webflow? A Plain-English Guide

Which platform fits depends on three things: your products, who will run the shop and how much control you want. Here is how we set the three side by side.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
You prefer a hosted store with checkout built in, one your own team can run without a developer.
Watch for
Fees per transaction and plan restrictions apply, while unusual logic may call for apps.
Platform

WooCommerce

WooCommerce development
Pick it when
WordPress already powers your site and you want complete say over how the shop behaves.
Watch for
Hosting, updates and security sit with you.
Platform

Webflow E-Commerce

Webflow development
Pick it when
Your catalogue is modest and design-led, and you want fine control over appearance.
Watch for
Catalogue scale and checkout choices are restricted.
Selling across borders or expecting busy peaks? Shopify Plus goes up against the standard plans in our comparison, and we then advise on which suits.

What We Check Before a Shopify Store Goes Live

Orders and search visits are most at risk on launch day, so every project is run through this checklist.
Check the Current Targets

Search Central from Google explains Core Web Vitals →

Trial orders using each payment option you provide
Tax handling, courier zones and postage rates tested against your rules
Every product, variant, image and collection read through for gaps
Old URLs matched to new pages in a redirect map, for migrations
Speed results compared with Core Web Vitals goals
WCAG 2.2 as the yardstick for contrast and keyboard access
Order tracking and analytics installed, with cookie consent
Staff accounts with sensible permissions and backups

What Shapes the Cost of a Shopify Store

Prices aren’t listed here, since a Shopify store can be a few dozen products or a vast trade range. Six things drive the effort most, and a call settles each one.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
a bespoke theme and complete brand identity are required
↓ Costs less when
a ready theme is adapted to your brand

Catalogue

↑ Costs more when
thousands of products with many size, colour or part variants must be imported
↓ Costs less when
a small product range has simple options

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
connections to stock, ERP, CRM or fulfilment systems are needed
↓ Costs less when
your tools have existing connectors

Migration

↑ Costs more when
years of orders, customers and addresses move from another platform
↓ Costs less when
you begin with a brand-new store

Markets and Payments

↑ Costs more when
customers in other countries pay in their own currencies
↓ Costs less when
one market and one or two payment methods are enough

Custom Features

↑ Costs more when
bespoke apps, configurators or trade rules are needed
↓ Costs less when
nothing custom needs building

Hire Shopify Developers

Choose by stage. A young business opening its first store often suits a fixed build, a trading team adding capacity suits dedicated developers, and a firm leaving an old platform may prefer time and material.

Fixed Price Build

Everything is agreed first: theme, features and price. A match for a clear brief with a launch date in mind.
Suits

Time and Material

Billing is by the hour, and priorities can be reordered when trading shows what matters. Works for stores that follow the seasons.
Suits

Dedicated Shopify Developers

One or more developers take on your queue of changes sprint by sprint. Works for teams releasing every week.

How to Choose a Shopify Agency

A Shopify logo on an agency website proves little. These seven questions show who builds with it daily.
01

Can I Browse Stores You Built on Shopify?

Listen for
Yes, live stores you can use, not only design files.
02

Who Looks After the Shop Day to Day Afterwards?

Listen for
Your team trained up, an uncluttered admin and written guides.
03

Will Changing Platform Hurt Our Search Visits?

Listen for
Redirect mapping, metadata checks and monitoring once live.
04

Could You Finish a Store Another Supplier Left Half Done?

Listen for
We review the theme and apps first, then write a plan.
05

How Do You Cover Load Speed and Accessibility?

Listen for
Named benchmarks such as Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2, passed before launch.
06

Is It Possible to Collaborate with Our Marketers or In-House Developer?

Listen for
Yes, using your tools, with hand-offs agreed in advance.
07

Would You Be Upfront If Shopify Were Wrong for Us?

Listen for
Yes, and a fair look at WooCommerce or Webflow.

How We Run a Shopify Project

There are six stages, each ending in something concrete you can review. How long each takes tracks the size of the store.
01

Discovery

About a week to review your products, orders, goals and the existing store.
02

Scoping

Typically one to two weeks of planning, ending in agreed features, integration points and a written quote.
03

Design and Prototyping

Around two weeks of layout work, finishing with a clickable prototype.
04

Store Build

Short build cycles deliver the theme, catalogue, checkout and integrations, with a review after each.
05

Evaluation

Orders, speed, accessibility and redirects are tested as a separate phase.
06

Launch and Support

We take you live, keep watch, train your team and start the agreed 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.
