- • Headless with Hydrogen or Astro
- • Performance, accessibility and QA

Grow
Turning the traffic you already have into orders, then into repeat orders.
We read GA4, heatmaps and recordings to see where shoppers leave, turn each fix into a hypothesis, test it live and roll out only what wins. Two tests a month, each with a goal agreed before launch.

Automate
Agents, flows and integrations that remove the manual work, with a person approving.
Your team asks in Slack or Claude, an agent drafts the change against your store and theme, and you approve the preview before anything goes live. It pairs with our store automations and your brand rules.

Read the FAQs
What does a Shopify agency do?
We design, build and grow Shopify and Shopify Plus stores: store builds and migrations, conversion and SEO work, email and SMS, and the automations that remove manual work. One senior team covers design, build and growth, and stays close after launch.
How much does Shopify development cost?
A store design and build starts at $10,000 as a fixed-price project. Monthly plans start at $2,200 for design, $3,000 for development and $5,000 for both. Every plan is on the pricing page.
Shopify or Shopify Plus, which do I need?
Most brands start on Shopify; Plus makes sense for checkout customization, B2B, higher volume or multiple storefronts. We'll advise based on where you're headed.
How long does a store build take?
A focused launch can ship in weeks; a Plus build or migration takes longer. We agree a fixed timeline up front and hold to it.
Do you work with stores outside the US?
Yes. We work with brands across the US and abroad, and set up Shopify Markets for currencies, languages, duties and local payments when you sell internationally.
Can you fix a store another agency built?
Yes. We start with the free store audit, then fix the store on a duplicate theme in your repo, so nothing breaks on the live store while the work moves.
Do you only work on Shopify?
Shopify and Shopify Plus are our focus. We also build headless storefronts on Hydrogen or Astro, and Next.js apps on Shopify's APIs when a theme is not enough.
What happens after launch?
Yes — CRO, SEO, email/SMS and store automations on a retainer, so the store keeps improving after launch.

How to choose
Most stores need one of three things first: a build, a fix, or growth. Which one you need is usually obvious from a single question — is the problem that the store does not exist yet, that it exists but leaks revenue, or that it converts fine but not enough people arrive?
If the store does not exist yet, or the theme has been patched so many times that every change breaks something, start with a Shopify or Shopify Plus store build. We design and build on a duplicate theme, keep your product data, redirects and reviews, and launch when your team has signed off on every page. Migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce or a legacy POS follow the same path with a URL map so rankings survive the move.
If the store exists but the numbers are wrong — checkout abandonment above 70%, a mobile conversion rate half of desktop, page speed scores in the red — the fix is a sprint, not a rebuild. Conversion rate optimization, checkout customization and store speed work are scoped against one metric each, and we show the before-and-after in your own analytics.
If the store converts but traffic is flat, growth is the retainer: eCommerce SEO and AEO, email and SMS on Spoks or Klaviyo, subscriptions and retention. These run monthly, with a weekly Loom and a shared channel, and every retainer starts with the free store audit so the first month is spent on the highest-leverage change rather than discovery.
Not sure which bucket you are in? Send us the store. A senior reviews it within one business day and tells you which of the three it is — including when the honest answer is that you do not need an agency yet.
