Shopify stores that look like your brand
We design Shopify stores on Online Store 2.0 themes and Liquid, so you can edit sections yourself without breaking anything.
In plain English.
Shopify is a good fit for many small retailers. Hosting, security and checkout are handled by Shopify, and you pay a monthly plan directly to them. The weak spot is usually the theme: a stock template that looks like thousands of other stores, plus an app list that slows every page down.
We start from a well-built Online Store 2.0 theme such as Dawn, then adjust it in Liquid, Shopify's template language, to fit your products and brand. We keep apps to the ones you need, set up Shopify Payments, shipping profiles and Markets, and test the checkout on real phones before launch.
If you are moving from WooCommerce, Etsy or another platform, we bring your products, customers and order history across. We also set up redirects so old links keep working and Google can follow your existing pages to their new addresses.
It suits you if.
- You want a shop without managing hosting or updates
- Your range is focused and does not need complex custom logic
- Your current Shopify store looks generic or loads slowly
- You are moving to Shopify from Etsy, Wix or WooCommerce
- You want to edit pages and banners yourself
What we do.
Theme work in Liquid
Section and block changes written in Liquid, so your layouts stay editable in the theme editor instead of being locked into code only a developer can touch.
Fewer, better apps
Every app adds scripts to your pages. We install only the ones you need, and check speed in PageSpeed Insights before and after.
Payments, shipping and Markets
Shopify Payments and PayPal, shipping profiles by weight or order value, and Shopify Markets for selling abroad in other currencies.
Products and collections
Variants, metafields for details like size charts, and automated collections built on tags so new products land in the right place.
Migration with redirects
Products, customers and orders imported from your old platform, with URL redirects mapped one by one.

Questions people ask.
Do I pay Shopify as well as you?
Yes. Shopify charges a monthly plan and card processing fees, and you pay those directly to Shopify. Paid themes and apps are billed to your Shopify account too. Our fee covers the design, set-up and migration work, and it is quoted in full before we start.
Can I update the store myself?
That is the reason we build the way we do. Banners, text, products, collections and most page sections can be changed in the Shopify admin and theme editor. We also record a short walkthrough so you have something to refer back to later.
Should I choose Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits shops that want hosting and updates handled for them and do not need unusual custom logic. WooCommerce suits businesses that want full ownership, lower running fees or complex rules such as trade pricing. You will get a straight recommendation on the free call.
What happens after launch?
You run the store. If you want help, we can take on theme changes, app reviews and seasonal updates as you need them, priced before we start. You are under no obligation to keep paying us once the store is live.
