Do you build custom Shopify themes from scratch?
Yes. We build custom Shopify themes in Liquid with mobile-first design, accessibility built in, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and clean section/block architecture your marketing team can extend safely.
Do you work with GemPages, PageFly, Shogun, or Replo?
Yes — all four. We design and build high-converting landing pages, product pages, and collection pages in GemPages, PageFly, Shogun, and Replo. We pick the right tool per project; the goal is conversion, not picking a favourite app.
Can you migrate from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Magento to Shopify?
Yes. We handle product, customer, and order migration; SEO redirects to preserve rankings; design migration; app re-platforming; and post-migration QA. Most migrations run 4 to 10 weeks depending on catalogue size.
Do you build Shopify Plus stores?
Yes. We are familiar with Shopify Plus features including Launchpad, Flow, Scripts, Functions, custom checkout extensions, B2B and wholesale, multi-store setups, and Shopify Plus organisation-level configurations.
Do you build headless Shopify with Hydrogen?
Yes. We build headless Shopify storefronts using Hydrogen and Oxygen for brands that need full design freedom and best-in-class performance. We also build headless using Next.js with the Shopify Storefront API where it fits better.
How long does a custom Shopify build take?
A standard custom Shopify store takes 4 to 8 weeks. Shopify Plus implementations and headless builds typically run 8 to 16 weeks. GemPages page builds for single landing pages or campaigns run 1 to 2 weeks.
