Shopify Storefronts

You have the products. We build the store.

Custom Shopify design and build at a fixed price, agreed before anything starts. You bring the products, the photos, and the words. We turn them into a storefront that looks like your brand instead of a template someone else is also using.

Who this is for

You are selling something real and you already have the raw material -- product photos, a logo, copy you have written, a catalogue in a spreadsheet. What you do not have is a store that looks like it belongs to your brand.

The two usual options are both bad. A $39 theme applied straight out of the box looks like the four thousand other stores using it. An agency will build you something genuinely custom and quote $15,000 for it.

This is the middle: a free Shopify theme rebuilt around your brand by one person who does the design and the development, at a price fixed before work begins. Most stores launch in two to four weeks.

Three tiers, three fixed prices

The tier is set by how much of the store has to be built from scratch, not by how many pages it has. Pages are cheap once the theme is yours.

Essential

A clean, branded store built on a free Shopify theme. The right choice for a first storefront or a straightforward catalogue.

$3,200 fixed

1 to 2 weeks

  • Free theme customized to your colours, type, and logo
  • Up to 8 pages built and populated with your content
  • Product and collection setup, cart and checkout tested
  • SEO basics, analytics, mobile and cross-browser testing
  • Training session and written handoff guide

Bespoke

For stores that need to do something, not just show something -- a launch mechanism, a wholesale channel, a migration.

$9,850 fixed

4 weeks and up

  • Everything in Signature
  • Custom mechanisms -- presale and countdown launches, wholesale portals, subscriptions
  • Migration from an existing platform, with your data brought across
  • Third-party integrations to the tools you already run
  • Systems you operate yourself after launch, documented and tested

These are fixed prices, not starting points. Half is due at kickoff and half at launch, and the number does not move unless you change what you asked for. Shopify Plus, headless builds, custom app development, and multi-store rollouts sit outside these tiers and are quoted individually.

In every tier

  • A design prototype you review before a line of the store is built
  • One optional second design round, included
  • A free Shopify theme, so no licence fee eats your budget
  • Built inside your own Shopify account -- you own it from day one
  • Mobile, tablet, and cross-browser testing before launch
  • One consolidated review round during the build
  • Training and a written guide so you can run it without us
  • Defects fixed free for 14 days after launch

Not included

  • Photography and videography production
  • Copywriting and product descriptions
  • Brand identity work beyond the storefront -- naming, guidelines, packaging
  • Content preparation, if you want us to do it (quoted as an add-on)
  • Your Shopify subscription and payment processing -- billed to you by Shopify
  • Paid apps beyond free tiers
  • Changes requested after launch, as opposed to defects

What we need from you

A fixed price works because the scope is known, and the scope is known once the content is real. This is the part every storefront project runs aground on, so it is worth being blunt about it up front.

  • Copy as editable text. A document we can select and paste from, not a PDF or screenshots of text.
  • Photography as original files, 2000px wide or larger. Phone photos are fine if they are sharp and well lit.
  • Product data as a spreadsheet -- names, descriptions, prices, variants, stock.
  • Your logo, ideally as an SVG or the original design file.
  • Shopify admin access, granted to us on your own account.

The schedule starts when this arrives complete, not when you sign. If gathering it is the part you dread, we will do it for you as a separate quoted line rather than let it stall the build.

How the build runs

  1. Scope and quote A few days

    You find out the price before you commit to anything

    • A call about what you sell and what the store has to do
    • We name the tier and why we put you in it
    • A written quote with a fixed total and a payment schedule
  2. Design Week 1

    You see the store before it is built

    • An interactive prototype, not a flat picture of a homepage
    • You give feedback and we incorporate it
    • One optional second round included; you sign off before the build starts
  3. Build 1 to 3 weeks

    The approved design becomes a working store

    • Theme customization, custom sections, products and collections
    • Apps, email, analytics, SEO, and legal pages
    • One consolidated review round with five business days to respond
  4. Launch and handover 1 day

    You leave able to run it yourself

    • Cross-browser and mobile testing, then go live
    • A training session on your own store, not a generic demo
    • A written guide for adding products, posts, and pages
    • Defects fixed free for 14 days; a care plan afterwards if you want one

After launch: the care plan

Optional, month to month, and genuinely optional -- the store is yours and runs fine without it.

$400 /month

What it covers

  • Theme and app updates applied and tested, so nothing breaks quietly
  • Uptime and checkout monitoring -- we find out before your customers do
  • Up to two hours of changes each month: products, pages, images, sections
  • Defects fixed at no charge, past the 14-day launch window
  • Direct access by phone and email, answered first

The terms

  • Month to month. Cancel with 30 days notice, no exit fee
  • The two hours do not roll over -- you are buying availability, not a bank
  • New pages, new features, or a redesign are quoted separately
  • Shopify's own subscription and processing fees stay billed to you by Shopify
  • Start it at launch or later; the store is yours either way

Two hours at our published $185/hour rate is $370, so the plan is the cheaper way to buy small changes if you expect to make them. If you do not, skip it -- we would rather you cancelled than paid for something you never use.

Tell us what you sell

Describe the store you want and what you already have. We will tell you which tier it is and what it costs, in writing, before you commit to anything.
