Shopify & plus store builds
Shopify stores built to convert, not just launch.
We design and build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for DTC brands that have outgrown their theme: custom design, clean code, a repo you own.

Still got questions?
Your questions about store builds
How much does a Shopify store build cost?
Store builds start at $10,000, with one fixed price agreed before work starts. See pricing or estimate yours with the website cost calculator.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
A full store typically takes about eight weeks, often six to ten depending on scope; a landing page about three. The date is fixed in the proposal.
Do you build on Shopify Plus?
Yes. We build on Shopify and Shopify Plus, and tell you if you don't need Plus.
Will I be able to edit the store myself?
Yes. We build sections you edit in the theme customizer, so new pages, drops and banners don't need a developer.
Do you migrate my products and customers?
Yes. Products, customers and order history move over, and old URLs are redirected. See migrations.
What happens after launch?
We watch the store closely after launch and fix issues without hourly billing. Many clients then move to a monthly retainer for CRO, SEO or ongoing development.
