I'm Meg, an experienced Shopify designer and developer in Cape Town. I design original eCommerce websites for businesses that care about their products, their brand and the people buying from them.

My approach

Not another template store

Most Shopify stores look the same. Yours shouldn't.

I design original Shopify websites around your products, your customers and the details that help them buy.

About

You work directly with your Shopify designer.

I've been building eCommerce websites since 2015, for businesses launching their first store, established brands ready for a redesign and companies moving to Shopify from other platforms.

I'm a Shopify Select Partner, a status earned through a proven record of bringing revenue-generating businesses to Shopify.

Nutmeg is an independent studio, and I intend to keep it that way. I'm the person you'll speak to, the person making the design decisions and the person building your website. I work closely with a small number of clients at a time, so every project gets the attention it deserves.

What Shopify services do you offer?

I design and develop Shopify websites for new and established eCommerce businesses: new stores, redesigns, WordPress and WooCommerce migrations, and improvements to existing Shopify websites.

I also offer Mockup to Shopify development for brand designers, along with email automations, Shopify training and technical support.

What does a Shopify website cost?

New Shopify websites start from R38,000 for South African businesses, or $3,000 USD for international clients.

This includes planning, theme design and customisation, product and collection setup, mobile optimisation, essential integrations, foundational SEO, testing and launch support.

Redesigns and migrations are quoted individually, because the work involved can vary considerably. You can explore my services and pricing, or book a discovery call to talk through your project.

What's included in every Shopify project?

Mobile-first design

Most customers shop on their phones. Every store is designed with mobile shopping in mind, from navigation and product discovery to the checkout experience.

SEO foundations

SEO is considered throughout the build, including site structure, page titles, meta descriptions, image alt text and other technical foundations that help search engines understand your store.

A store that's easy to manage

You'll receive practical training and video tutorials so you can confidently manage products, orders, content and everyday updates without relying on a developer.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Product-led businesses across beauty, skincare, wellness, supplements, fashion, jewellery, homeware, food and lifestyle, from brands preparing to launch to businesses that have been trading for years.

I've worked with brands including Gloot Nutrition, Jooce Supplements, Bags of Bites and Afrogem Jewellery.

I'm particularly well suited to businesses that value distinctive, user-focused design but also want someone who understands the practical side of Shopify eCommerce.
