Get started See pricing ## Who should skip this? - Merchants needing heavy ERP/custom middleware — that is build territory beyond a Shopify theme engagement. - Stores with no product photography or margins for apps — Shopify is a platform, not a substitute for retail fundamentals. - B2B firms needing complex quote workflows — better served elsewhere; we will say so in week one. What we do Shopify is the UK's most popular ecommerce platform — but most Shopify stores are underoptimised. Theme limitations, poor Core Web Vitals, thin category pages, and missing structured data all hold back organic performance. We design and build Shopify stores that combine conversion-focused design with technical excellence: fast, search-friendly, and built to grow. ## What's included in our Shopify web design service ### Custom Shopify Theme Design Bespoke Shopify theme design tailored to your brand — no off-the-shelf templates, no page builder constraints, no compromises on performance. ### Shopify SEO Architecture URL structure, canonical tags, collection page optimisation, and schema markup configured for maximum Shopify SEO performance from launch day. ### Core Web Vitals Optimisation Shopify performance tuning — image optimisation, lazy loading, app audit, and theme code optimisation — to achieve excellent LCP and CLS scores. ### Product & Collection Setup Merchant Centre integration, product schema, collection page content strategy, and navigation architecture to maximise organic discoverability. ### Conversion Rate Optimisation Product page design, cart and checkout flow optimisation, and trust signal implementation to maximise your store's conversion rate from day one. ### Shopify App Stack Audit Review and rationalisation of your Shopify app stack — removing performance-draining apps and recommending lean alternatives. ## Which other services are related?

This gives us full control over performance, design, and SEO implementation. **Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?** Yes — we manage full platform migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and other platforms to Shopify, including product data migration and SEO redirect mapping. **How do you handle Shopify's SEO limitations?** Shopify has fixed URL structures (/products/, /collections/) that can't be changed, but most other SEO factors can be fully optimised: title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, canonical tags, and page speed. **What does Shopify web design cost?** Shopify store design projects from £8,495 for standard catalogues. Larger stores with complex requirements, custom functionality, or platform migration are quoted individually. **How much does a Shopify website cost in the UK?** A bespoke Shopify store built by a specialist agency costs from £8,495 in the UK. Template-based Shopify builds from other providers cost £2,500–£5,000 but involve significant design and performance compromises. Complex stores with custom functionality, multi-currency, or platform migration are scoped individually. All our Shopify builds include technical SEO architecture and Core Web Vitals optimisation from day one. **Should I use Shopify or WooCommerce?** Shopify is easier to manage, has better performance out of the box, and is generally better suited for scaling beyond £500k annual revenue. WooCommerce is more flexible at smaller scale and cheaper to start, but requires more ongoing technical maintenance and expertise. For most UK ecommerce businesses starting with growth ambitions, Shopify is the stronger foundation. We work with both and help you evaluate the right platform for your specific situation, team, and budget. **How long does it take to build a Shopify website?** A standard bespoke Shopify store takes 8–12 weeks from brief to launch, covering discovery, design, development, content, testing, and launch. Platform migration projects typically require 12–16 weeks depending on catalogue size and data complexity. We provide a detailed project plan and milestone schedule at the start of every engagement.
