Shopify website design,
from first product to first order.
Online shops designed and built on Shopify, with products, payments and delivery set up and every route to checkout tested.
Online sales are usually lost in a few places between the product page and the payment: a delivery cost found too late, an option that is unclear, a basket that is hard to find. We design the shop around those steps first, and build the rest of the site around them.
Shopify is one of the three platforms we build on, alongside Webflow and Wix Studio, as part of our web design work. We design, build and test every Shopify store from the Norwich office, for shops in Norfolk and across the UK.
Every product page, one tap from the basket.
The product page carries the decision. Photographs, price, options, delivery and returns are answered on the page itself, and adding to the basket takes one tap on any screen.
The checkout is Shopify’s own, branded with your logo, colours and fonts, with Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay offered alongside cards.

What a Shopify store covers.
Every store gets the design, the products, the payments and the handover. Selling abroad and moving from another platform are added where the shop needs them.
Shopify store design
Home, collection, product and basket pages designed around your range, built from theme sections your team can rearrange in the theme editor.
Products and collections
Products, options, photographs and descriptions loaded, and collections set up so customers can browse the way they shop.
Payments and checkout
Shopify Payments set up for cards and accelerated checkouts, and the checkout branded with your logo, colours and fonts.
Delivery, tax and returns
Shipping zones and rates, VAT settings and returns terms set up, and stated where customers look for them.
Selling abroad
Shopify Markets set up for each country or region, with its own currency, language, prices and domain where it helps.
Staff access
Each person on your team given their own login, with only the permissions their work needs.
Shopify migration
A shop on WooCommerce, Wix, Etsy or another platform moved across, with products and customers imported and old addresses redirected.
Tracking
Google Analytics 4 and Search Console set up, so each sale can be traced to the search, ad or email that brought it in.
Store plan to first order.
How a Shopify store comes together. Most take six to eight weeks, longer for a large range.

Questions about Shopify.
What does Shopify website design include?
A store plan, designs for phone and desktop, the theme built and styled, products and collections loaded, Shopify Payments, delivery and tax set up, test orders, launch with redirects and tracking, and training for your team.
Should we use Shopify Payments?
Usually. Orders paid through Shopify Payments carry no third-party transaction fee, the main card types are ready as soon as it is switched on, and payouts are reconciled in one report. If you already use another provider, we compare the costs before choosing.
Can the checkout be changed?
Its look can. Your logo, colours and fonts are set in Shopify’s checkout editor on every plan. Adding apps to the information, shipping and payment steps needs Shopify Plus, so most shops keep the standard steps and change the branding.
Can we sell to customers outside the UK?
Yes. Shopify Markets lets each country or region have its own currency, language, prices and domain, all run from the same store and the same stock.
Can you move our existing shop to Shopify?
Yes. Products and customers are imported from WooCommerce, Wix, Etsy and other platforms, using Shopify’s own migration app or a spreadsheet import, and every old product and page address is redirected to its new one.
Who owns the Shopify store?
You do. The store, its Shopify plan and its customer data are in your name, and we are given access to work in it. If you ever move on, everything stays with you.
Can our team run the store day to day?
Yes. Adding products, changing prices, fulfilling orders and editing pages are all done in the Shopify admin and theme editor, and training is part of the handover.
How is it priced?
Every engagement has a defined scope and a stated fee, agreed in writing before any work begins. Tell us where you’re going and we’ll tell you what it would involve.
