Focus on growing sales, not fixing your website.

Great question!
I’ve built many WordPress/WooCommerce powered online shops. This has given me insight into how Shopify and WordPress differ and the truth is Shopify is far superior to WordPress when it comes to managing, integrating and scaling an eCommerce business.
Shopify is a purpose-built eCommerce business management system. It includes:
Sellers switching from WordPress to Shopify will be amazed at how intuitive, easy and integrated Shopify’s ecosystem really is. Shopify is hands down the best solution for sellers who want to focus on the actions that move their business forward.
No you don’t need to sign up to a monthly Shopify plan while I build your website.
As an official Shopify partner, I can create a special development website for your project. This is where I build your entire online shop and you can view it live as it progresses.
Once you’ve approved the website, I transfer store ownership to you. This is when you choose a Shopify plan and your website becomes live.
No it definitely won’t go offline!
I will redesign your website on an unpublished theme. This means we rebuild in the background while your existing website stays live and active. I only publish the new design once you’ve approved it. At this point I’ll do lots of testing to ensure everything is working as it should.
Yes – the beauty of Shopify is that it’s easy for store owners and managers to edit their own websites, including editing the design of the homepage.
All packages include video training showing you how to edit your website.
Yes – I come from a communications / content SEO background and have worked with eCommerce websites since 2010.
My basic Shopify packages includes foundational SEO to ensure the site is built according to best practices.
However – foundational SEO is rarely enough, especially in eCommerce, to get a website onto the first page of search engine results for targeted keywords. Therefore, I offer an Advanced SEO add-on that I will explain during the discovery call.
It often happens that while I’m building your website you realise that there is an extra customization or addition you really want (that wasn’t in the initial scope of work).
I will try to accommodate your request as best as possible. This might sometimes mean your project takes longer to complete or it costs extra for the additional development time required to customise, add or tweak functionality. All of this will be disclosed to you before proceeding with your customization request.
No – I do not offer custom theme development as a service.
Please note that custom theme design and development comes with a long timeline and a starting price of at least $10 000 USD. Read this article to learn more about the pro’s and con’s of a custom Shopify theme.
