Your store on Shopify
Shopify for one store and a growing brand
Shopify brings together your catalogue, buying journey and order handling with platform-managed hosting. It is the first choice for one store using native features, apps and integrations, including international sales.
You are moving from another platform
Move your products, content and essential features to Shopify. Platform-managed hosting and an organised app setup give your team more time for merchandising and customer service.
You are developing your Shopify store
A redesign refreshes your brand presentation, clarifies the buying journey and makes editing easier. New sections, better product pages and selected apps support your next collections and campaigns.
One store serves several markets
Shopify Markets organises sales across several markets within one store. Customers receive market-specific content, offers and currencies, while your team works through a shared backend.
New stores and redesigns
What does a Shopify project cover?
The complete project covers design, practical editing, your catalogue, sales setup and connected business systems. The theme, Liquid sections and selected apps form a store ready for day-to-day work.
UX and design that reflect your brand
Customers find collections, explore products and move easily towards purchase. Navigation, product pages and the basket suit your offer, while the Liquid-based theme reflects your brand identity.
Editable sections and structured content
Reusable sections, blocks and templates give your team control over content. Metafields and metaobjects organise extra product information and content, such as size guides, ingredients or collection details.
Catalogue and sales configuration
Products, variants and collections form an organised catalogue. Payment, delivery, tax and checkout configuration organise the buying journey around your sales model.
Selected apps and integrations
Products, stock and orders flow between your store and ERP, PIM or OMS. API integrations and custom apps automate agreed tasks, while your team gains oversight of the data exchange.
Technical SEO and analytics
Your store has a clear URL structure, metadata, indexing settings and the redirects it needs. Analytics respects user consent. Your team or marketing partner complements the build with content, photography, campaigns and ongoing SEO.
Testing, launch and training
Receive tested mobile and desktop buying journeys, integrations and event tracking. Launch preparation covers accessibility, performance and sales scenarios. Training gives your team confidence to edit the store independently.
Migration to Shopify
Your products, content and sales on Shopify
A migration from platforms such as WooCommerce, BigCommerce or OpenCart covers the data and features your team uses to sell. Receive a plan for products, variants, customers, order history and content. Your Shopify theme and apps deliver the required functionality in the new store.
Data mapping, trial imports and reconciliation with the source organise the transfer. The plan includes customer accounts, subscriptions and app data within the agreed scope. URLs, redirects and SEO checks support continuity of search traffic.
Launch follows an agreed schedule, with tests for prices, tax, payments, delivery and integrations. The final transfer brings across current stock and orders. Post-launch care covers sales workflows and redirects.
Shopify capabilities
Apps and features built around your sales
Your theme and Liquid sections provide a distinctive storefront and practical editing. Apps, Shopify Functions and integrations add capabilities for your sales workflow. The proposal specifies the solution set and its running costs.
Payment, delivery and tax configuration prepare your store for order handling. Selected apps support discounts, basket rules and customer service. API integrations connect business systems and automate data exchange.
Headless storefronts, public Shopify App Store products and extensive integration middleware have their own project scope. Each solution receives a dedicated implementation and development plan.
Development and care
What happens to your Shopify store after launch?
Receive a development plan based on your sales goals and your team's daily work. A theme, app and integration review sets priorities: new sections, clearer product pages, a streamlined app setup and better data connections.
Shopify provides hosting and SSL. Technical care covers your theme, apps and integrations, with changes tested before release. An agreed scope and working rhythm give you control over your budget and the next stages of development.
