In love with our new store

Meg recreated the most beautiful and easy-to-navigate website for my florist shop. I can’t recommend Nutmeg Studio highly enough.

— Jen, Haven Botanical

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.

— Allen Usher, Usher Whisky

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.

— Richelle, Soul of Africa Travel

Absolutely loved working with Meg!

Would recommend her services to other brands. Thank you very much for all of your help!

You know your products deserve better, but full custom builds take months and cost more than you're ready to invest right now.

You need something in between — a store that looks considered and functions brilliantly, without the out-of-range price tag or the endless back-and-forth.

That's exactly what the Essentials package is for.

Everything you need to sell beautifully — nothing you don't

With this package you get a beautiful, conversion-focused Shopify eCommerce website, expertly designed and developed to reflect your brand aesthetic and attract ideal customers.

What's included:

✓ Strategic discovery call
We start by understanding your brand, your products, and your customers — so every design decision supports your business goals.

✓ Complete Shopify store design and development
I select and customise a Shopify theme that aligns with your aesthetic and product type — refined to feel uniquely yours, not off-the-shelf.

✓ Up to 7 core pages designed
Homepage, Collection page, Product page template, About, Contact, and two additional pages of your choice (e.g., Stockists, FAQ, Our Story).

✓ Mobile-optimised design
Your store looks as good and functions as smoothly on a phone as it does on desktop — because most of your customers will shop that way.

✓ Up to 30 products uploaded
I handle the setup: product titles, descriptions (if provided), images, pricing, variants, inventory. You just hand over the details.

✓ Navigation & menu structure
Clean, intuitive site architecture that makes it easy for customers to find what they're looking for.

✓ Payment & shipping setup
PayFast (or your preferred gateway), shipping zones, rates, and checkout configuration — so you're ready to take orders the moment you launch.

✓ Essential apps integrated
I'll recommend and install 2-3 key apps to support your store (e.g., reviews, email capture, analytics) — no bloat, just what you actually need.

✓ SEO foundations
Page titles, meta descriptions, alt text, and site structure optimised for search engines from the start.

✓ Training & handover
A recorded walkthrough showing you how to manage products, pages, orders, and basic updates — so you feel confident running your store independently.

✓ 2 weeks post-launch support
Questions after launch? I'm here. Email support for two weeks after go-live to smooth out any bumps.

For Life Longevity WordPress Website Design & Development

What's not included

To keep this package streamlined and affordable, some things are out of scope:

✗ Custom theme development.
✗ Copywriting (you provide product descriptions and page copy, or I can recommend a copywriter).
✗ Product photography or styling.
✗ Logo design or full brand identity work.
✗ Advanced custom features or apps outside the essentials.
✗ Ongoing management or subscription retainers.

If you need any of these, we can discuss add-ons or explore a custom project instead.

From kickoff to launch in 3-4 weeks

Week 1: Discovery, theme selection, design direction

✓ Redesigning an existing Shopify store that's outgrown its original build
✓ A product-based brand with 10-50 SKUs (we can discuss larger catalogues)

Limited availability at this price

Our studio typically takes on 1-2 Essentials projects per month.

For a limited time, this package is R25,000 instead of R30,000 (or $1,600 USD instead of $1,900) — but spots are limited, and the price will return to standard once current availability fills.

If you've been waiting for the right moment to finally get your Shopify store sorted, this is it.

What you're really getting:

A professionally designed and developed Shopify store built by a certified Shopify expert that would typically cost R40,000-R60,000+ — delivered faster, at a lower cost, without sacrificing quality.

Compare that to:

DIY with a template: Endless hours of frustration, subpar results, no strategy.

Hiring a generalist freelancer from Fiverv: Inconsistent quality, no Shopify expertise, no support after launch.

Custom agency website: R150,000+

This package gives you expert design, strategic thinking, and Shopify mastery — in a format that respects your budget and timeline.

FAQs

A: Absolutely. I'll train you on how to add and manage products yourself. If you need bulk uploads after launch, we can discuss that separately.

A: I can recommend experienced eCommerce copywriters I trust, or you can provide the copy yourself.

Yes — 50% deposit to start, 50% before launch.

A: We can discuss add-ons or move to a custom project scope. I'll let you know during our clarity call if Essentials is the right fit.

A: You'll need to provide your website content, approve the design direction, and be available for check-ins. But I handle all the technical heavy lifting and development.

A: You're equipped to manage your store independently. If you need ongoing support, I offer monthly retainer options we can discuss.

A: For this package we use Shopify's highly-customisable Horizon theme as the base for your website design. This is their free flagship theme. If you would like to use a premium template then please budget accordingly for the extra cost (premium templates range in cost from R4,000 - R8,000) and are purchased directly from the Shopify theme store.

Your store doesn't have to take six months or cost a fortune

It just needs to be thoughtfully designed, strategically sound, and built by someone who knows Shopify inside out.

That's what you get with the Essentials package.
