An online store set up on Shopify, with products, payments and delivery configured and ready to sell.
Shopify is a hosted e-commerce platform: it provides the store software, hosting and checkout, and you pay Shopify a subscription for it. That removes most of the server and payment-security work from an online store, which is why it suits businesses that want to start selling without building a platform first.
This service covers the work around that platform — designing and customising the storefront, configuring products and variants, setting up payments, shipping and taxes, and connecting the apps your store needs. The Shopify subscription, transaction fees and any paid apps are billed to you by those providers directly.
The final stack is chosen per project, based on scope, budget, who will maintain the site and what it needs to connect to. Not every technology listed is used on every project.
Shopify store scope is quoted after a requirement assessment. The tiers below describe how much design and configuration work each level covers; they do not carry a published price, and they do not include your Shopify subscription.
A clean, working store on a customised standard theme.

Tier contents are a starting point for the conversation, not a fixed package. The exact deliverables for your project are confirmed in a written proposal.
The same stages apply to every project. Which of them are included, and how long each takes, is set out in your proposal.
We go through what you need, who it is for and which features matter most, so the scope is built on your actual priorities.
You receive a written proposal setting out the deliverables, assumptions, timeline and cost before any work begins.
Structure, screens and user journeys are designed and agreed, along with the technical approach for the build.
The approved scope is built in stages, with the work shared as it progresses rather than only at the end.
Functionality, responsiveness, performance and content are checked across devices and common browsers.
You review the build against the agreed scope and raise changes, which are handled before deployment.
The project goes live on your hosting or platform account, with access, credentials and a walkthrough handed over.
Where support is included in the agreement, the covered period and scope are stated in the proposal.
A delivery estimate is given in the written proposal, once the scope is agreed. Estimates are not delivery guarantees: the date moves with the scope and with how quickly reviews and content come back.
This service is quoted per project. Tell us what you need and we will come back with a written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline and cost.
A project quotation is separate from the monthly care plans, which cover ongoing changes after launch.
Quoted separately, on top of the agreed scope.
Paid directly to the provider, or outside the project scope.
