WHY SHOPIFY
Why Shopify for most stores.
01
Hosting, security and checkout handled
You run the store, Shopify runs the platform. No servers, patches or PCI audits.
02
Your team edits the store
Sections and the theme editor mean a drop or a landing page without a developer.
03
The deepest app ecosystem
Subscriptions, reviews, loyalty, B2B: the serious tools are built for Shopify first.
04
A checkout that converts
Shop Pay and a hosted checkout tuned by Shopify beat anything self-hosted.

Questions about Shopify
Not sure which plan you need?
We’ll look at your store on a 30-minute call.
Book a callDo we need Shopify Plus?
Most stores under $1M a year don't. Plus starts to pay back when you need checkout customisation, native B2B, many markets or the lower card rates at volume. See Shopify vs Shopify Plus.
Can you work on a theme another agency built?
Yes. We audit the theme first, then fix, extend or rebuild depending on what we find, and tell you which is cheaper over time.
Who owns the theme and the apps?
You do. The theme sits in your repository, apps are in your account, and code, designs and documentation transfer to you.
How long does a Shopify store build take?
A custom theme build typically launches in six to eight weeks. The exact date is agreed in the proposal before we start.
Do you work with stores outside the US?
Yes. We work with brands outside the US and set up Shopify Markets for selling across countries. Calls are scheduled to suit your time zone.
