"Since the launch, we have seen a marked and instant improvement in our conversion rates and sales. The return on investment has been fantastic."
Working with Megan Hodson has been a game-changer for Nuera Health & Wellness. We tasked her with redesigning our Shopify store, and she delivered more than just a beautiful site—she delivered a sales machine. Megan’s approach to design and customer flow completely transformed our user experience; the site is now intuitive, clean, and professional. But the most significant impact has been the bottom line. Since the launch, we have seen a marked and instant improvement in our conversion rates and sales. The return on investment has been fantastic.

Shopify Redesign
Shopify Design Studio Cape Town
Good eCommerce should feel simple
Your customers shouldn't have to work hard to shop your website. Finding the right product, understanding what makes it worth buying and completing a purchase should all feel easy.
I design Shopify stores with this in mind. Clear navigation, useful product information and intuitive shopping journeys, brought together in a beautiful, considered design.
Brands I've worked with
How people buy
Good Shopify design starts with understanding your products and how customers shop.
That might mean restructuring a large product catalogue, making products easier to find, improving product pages or simplifying the mobile shopping experience.
I bring this thinking into every part of the website, from the visual design to the Shopify setup itself. The result is a store that looks right for your brand, makes buying easier and is simple for your team to manage.
What Shopify services do you offer?
Nutmeg Studio specialises in Shopify website design and development for new and established eCommerce businesses.
My services include new Shopify website builds, redesigns, WordPress and WooCommerce migrations, Shopify SEO, conversion optimisation, and B2B and wholesale setup.
I also help with email marketing automations, analytics and Shopify training.
Every project is tailored to your business, with a focus on creating a beautiful, easy-to-use website that supports your sales and is simple to manage.
What do you charge for a Shopify website?
A new Shopify website with Nutmeg Studio starts from R38,000 ZAR (or $3,000 USD to international businesses operating outside of South Africa).
This includes website planning, Shopify theme design and customisation, product and collection setup, mobile optimisation, essential integrations, foundational SEO, testing and launch support.
The final cost depends on your product catalogue, design requirements and any additional functionality needed.
You can view my Shopify packages for more details or book a discovery call to discuss your project.
What's included in every Shopify project
Strategy before design
I take time to understand the business, products and customers before deciding what the website needs.
Mobile-first thinking
Your customers are shopping on their phones. Navigation, product discovery, product pages and checkout are considered with smaller screens in mind from the start.
Shopify SEO foundations
Site structure, page hierarchy, metadata, redirects and other important on-page SEO considerations are built into the project rather than added as an afterthought.
A store you can actually manage
You'll receive practical training and custom video tutorials so you and your team can confidently manage products, pages and everyday website changes yourselves.
What types of brands do you work with?
I work with new and established eCommerce brands across beauty, skincare, wellness, fashion, jewellery, homeware, food and lifestyle.
My clients range from independent businesses launching their first online store to established brands looking to redesign, improve or migrate their existing website to Shopify. Some of my established clients include Gloot Nutrition, Jooce Supplements, Bags of Bites, and Afrogem Jewellery.
I particularly enjoy working with product-led businesses that value thoughtful design, a good customer experience and a website that supports long-term growth.
A Shopify expert
Her knowledge of Shopify’s technicalities and ability to create a visually stunning, functional store exceeded expectations. She’s patient, clear, and highly professional.
She's calm, quietly confident and wonderfully organised, and just "got" what I was trying to achieve
Working with Meg has been an absolute pleasure. She's incredibly intuitive and there’s such a calm, grounded energy about her that makes the whole process feel easy.
A pleasure to work with
It was an absolute pleasure working with Meg. She immediately understood what we were looking for and was approachable throughout the process.
She elevated our business to represent where we are today
We interviewed multiple design companies and from the moment we connected with Megan, we knew we had found someone who could elevate our business to represent where we are today. Megan came up with a detailed development plan and was very attentive. Nutmeg Design is highly professional and offers beautiful design ideas.
Work directly with your Shopify designer
I'm Meg, the designer and developer behind Nutmeg Studio in Cape Town.
I've been building eCommerce websites since 2015 and have been a Verified Shopify Partner since 2019.
Nutmeg is an independent studio, which means you work directly with me throughout your project. I get to know the business, the products and what you're trying to achieve, then stay involved from strategy and design through to development, launch and training.
No account managers or handovers between teams.
I work with product-led businesses across South Africa and internationally, particularly in beauty, skincare, wellness, supplements, fashion, jewellery, home, food and lifestyle.
