The Shopify Build

Strategic Shopify Design

Foundation Package

Shopify Design

Cape Town Web Designer

A complete, conversion-ready Shopify store, without unnecessary complexity or drawn-out timelines.

The Shopify Build is for brands with a clear brief and a manageable catalogue. The scope is defined, the process is efficient, and the result is a store that looks considered and works beautifully: structured to guide customers toward a purchase, set up to be found, and handed over clean.

Every element is thought through a commercial lens. Not just how it looks, but how it sells.

Price Guide: R48,000 | $3,000 USD · 4–6 weeks

If your requirements are more complex than that - a larger catalogue, a platform migration, custom functionality, or a brief that's still evolving - the Growth Partnership is likely the better fit. We'll confirm which is right for you on the clarity call.

The Details

Who this package is for

✓ Your brief is clear and your catalogue is focused; around 10–100 products, without complexity or integrations.

✓ Your brand assets are ready: logo, photography, and content organised before we begin.

✓ You want the job done properly, by someone who understands eCommerce — not just web design.

✓ You're comfortable owning your store after handover. Training is included to make sure of it.

What's included

Each element is considered through a commercial lens; designed to look good and support sales.

Strategic Planning
We begin by mapping your store's structure, navigation, and design direction before building anything.

Complete Shopify Store Design & Development
Clean, elegant, and built to convert.

Up to 7 Core Pages
Homepage, Collection page, Product template, About, Contact, and 2 pages of your choice — FAQ, blog, or whatever serves your business.

Product Catalogue Setup
Product template design, categorised and presented well, with foundational SEO included.

Mobile Optimisation
Designed for mobile from the start.

Payment & Shipping Setup
Your preferred payment gateways and shipping configurations set up and tested before go-live.

Essential Apps, Email Marketing & SEO Foundations
The right apps — not every app. Basic email marketing automations and on-page SEO foundations.

Training & Handover
A walkthrough of your store, plus video training so you can manage it with confidence.

30 Days Post-Launch Support
A full month of email and WhatsApp support after launch.

What's not included

This package works because the scope is defined. The following fall outside it — and if you need them, the Growth Partnership is the right conversation:

  • Custom theme or app development
  • Large or complex product catalogues
  • B2B, wholesale, or multi-market functionality
  • Complex shipping or 3PL integrations
  • Copywriting, brand messaging, or product photography
  • Extended support beyond 30 days post-launch
Why Shopify

Shopify powers over a million product businesses across 175 countries — and for good reason.

Built to sell. Every feature exists to move customers toward a purchase.

Easy to manage. Products, orders, content — straightforward to run without technical support.

Grows with you. Start focused and scale into multi-currency, multi-channel without changing platforms.

Secure, fast, and reliable. Hosting, security, and performance handled. Fast by default — and that matters for both experience and SEO.

A rich ecosystem. Thousands of apps connect your store to the tools you already use.

About the studio

I'm Meg Hodson, founder of Nutmeg Studio and a Verified Shopify Partner since 2019. I've been building Shopify stores since 2015 — long enough to understand not just the platform, but how people really shop: what slows them down, what builds trust, and what guides them toward buying.

The Shopify Build is for brands that come prepared and want the job done properly. You work directly with me throughout — not a team, not a junior — and leave with a store you understand and can run yourself.
