Move to Shopify
For businesses that already have an eCommerce website on another platform such as Magento, Squarespace or WordPress, and want to move to Shopify.

No, this is not a service I offer. I choose a premium theme and build the store using that as a framework, with customisations as required (sometimes coding in my own customisations or creating custom sections).

Custom Shopify theme development starts from about R60 000 for a completely custom-built theme. Unless there is a really good reason for a custom theme, this isn’t the sort of expense a small, growing business should have to pay seeing as there are so many amazing and highly-customisable existing Shopify themes.

During the onboarding phase, I will ask you to gather a list of websites you love the look and feel of. These can be ecommerce sites and non-ecommerce websites. During another Zoom call, we’ll also plan out what content you’re going to have on your homepage and product pages. Once I have the above info, I’ll be able to identify a theme that is perfect for your project. When I set up your development store in Shopify, I’ll customise the homepage of your new website using a trial version of the Shopify theme. Only once you have approved this, will I purchase the Shopify theme. This gives us leeway to swop out Shopify themes before committing to a final design. I only use themes from the official Shopify theme store.
