Shopify experts for stores that have stopped growing
Traffic is fine and the number at the bottom is not moving. That is usually the theme, the app stack or the checkout, and it is rarely mysterious once somebody looks properly. We build and fix Shopify stores for clients across the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
What Shopify experts actually get asked for
Six things, in roughly the order stores ask for them.
New store builds
Catalogue structure, theme, payments, shipping and tax set up once, properly, so you are not fighting it in year two.
Conversion work
Product pages, cart and checkout worked on in that order, because that is where the money leaks. Changes measured, not guessed.
Theme development
Shopify web design that starts from a premium theme and tunes it, or builds one in Shopify’s Online Store 2.0 sections so your team can rearrange pages without us. Metafields for the content that varies by product, and Liquid where it has to be custom.
App audits
Most stores are paying for apps that duplicate each other and cost a second of load time each. We cut the list and keep the function.
Migrations
Onto Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento or a hand built store, with URLs mapped so the rankings come with you.
Custom work
Bundles, subscriptions, B2B pricing and anything that needs Shopify Functions or a private app rather than another app subscription. On Shopify Plus that extends to checkout, and Hydrogen if you genuinely need headless.
Buy it, tune it, or build it
Three honest options with three different price tags. Most stores should pick the middle one and most agencies will push you to the third.
A premium theme, as it comes
A few hundred dollars and live in a fortnight. You accept its layout decisions and its app dependencies.
- Fastest and cheapest
- Looks like other stores
- Fine for a first store
A premium theme, properly worked
Start from something solid, then rebuild the pages that matter: product, collection, cart. Where most of the gain is.
- Product page built for your products
- Sections your team can rearrange
- Unused theme code stripped out
- Best value for most stores
A theme from scratch
Worth it when the brand is the product and nothing off the shelf gets close. Slower, and you maintain it forever.
- Nothing you did not ask for
- Months, not weeks
- Only for stores at real scale
Apps are a tax you pay twice
Once on the monthly bill, and again on every page load. A store running fifteen apps is usually paying two or three hundred dollars a month and carrying a second of extra load time for functions that overlap.
We go through the list with you and sort it into three piles: earning its keep, duplicating something else, and could be forty lines of theme code instead. Then we remove things carefully, because half of them have their hooks in your product pages and a careless uninstall leaves orphan code behind.
It is not glamorous work and it routinely pays for itself in the first month. The same goes for the email platform: Klaviyo earns its fee when the flows are built properly and is dead weight when they are not.
What the stores did next
Three ecommerce projects, with the figures from the clients’ own store data.
Monthly revenue within six months. Eyewear brand on Shopify, redesigned around the product page.
Conversion rate. Apparel brand on Shopify, after the cart and checkout were rebuilt.
Abandoned carts recovered. Online store wired into GoHighLevel automation.

Shopify questions, answered straight
Still deciding what to build on? Start at website development services.
Store not converting?
Send us the URL. We will go through the product page, the cart and the app list and tell you the three things costing you the most.
How much does a Shopify expert cost?
It depends whether you need a build, a fix or ongoing work. A focused conversion job on product and cart pages is a small fixed price. A full store build with migration and custom functionality is a project. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer. We quote after looking at the store, and if the honest answer is that your theme is fine and the problem is traffic, we will say that.
Where can I find a Shopify expert to hire?
Shopify’s own partner directory is the obvious place and it is worth using, whether you want an agency or would rather hire Shopify developers directly. The things to check anywhere you look: do they show stores they actually built, will they name what they would change before you pay, and do they talk about your numbers rather than their process. Ask us the same questions.
Can I hire someone to manage my Shopify store?
Yes, and it is a sensible arrangement once a store is turning over enough that an outage costs real money. That usually covers theme and app updates, new product and collection pages, seasonal campaigns, checkout testing and keeping an eye on speed.
Is Shopify still worth it in 2026?
For selling physical products, yes. You are renting reliability: checkout, payments, fraud handling and scaling on someone else’s infrastructure. What you give up is ownership and monthly fees that grow with apps. If content and search are your main channels rather than the storefront, WordPress with WooCommerce is worth comparing.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. Plus is worth it once checkout control, higher volume or B2B pricing matter, and it is expensive before that point. It gives you checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions for custom discount and shipping logic. We also set up Shopify Payments, and Markets where you are selling across borders and need multi-currency pricing and local payment methods.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify if selling is the business and you want the plumbing handled. WooCommerce if content brings the customers, you want to own everything, or your pricing and shipping rules are unusual enough that Shopify fights you. We build both and have no reason to prefer one.
Can you move our store onto Shopify?
Yes, from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce or a hand built store. Products, variants, customers and order history come across, and every old URL gets mapped to its new home so search rankings survive the move.
Will you work with our existing theme?
Usually, and it is normally the cheaper answer. We will read it first and tell you honestly whether it is worth building on. If a previous developer has left it in a state where every change risks breaking something else, we will say so rather than quietly charging you to work around it.
Tell us what you need and we will show you how we would do it
Share a few details about your business and what you want to fix or build. It could be a new website, a WordPress site that keeps breaking, SEO that has stalled, or a sales process that needs automating. We will come back with honest advice, even if that means a smaller job than you expected.
A reply within one business day
A real person on the team reads your message and replies, usually the same day.
A free review of your current setup
We look at your website, rankings or systems before we talk, so the call is useful.
A written proposal
You get a clear scope, timeline and price in writing before any work starts.
