    My typical Shopify design & development process follows our usual design process to deliver a unique design for your business.

And I don’t stop there – I continue to research and test for improvements using live user data to deliver more sales through Shopify Conversion Optimisation tactics, Search Engine Optimisation, and refinements.

      How much does a shopify site cost?

      Shopify Theme development

      This is a tough question and one I can’t really answer without knowing a bit more about the spec. Shopify websites can cost from as little as £1000 to £10,000. It really does depend on the level of customisation, functionality and scale. 

      shopify Subscription costs

      Shopify monthly subscription fees start at £19, and while the cost may seem high, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t need to worry about website security updates as long as you practice good password management and keep your account secure. Additionally, you won’t have to bear the expenses of website hosting or SSL certificates. When you factor in these benefits, the service offers excellent value for money and provides peace of mind knowing that your website and revenue stream are in capable hands.

      Transaction costs

      Again these are depending on your subscription but are inline with most banking transactions. You also can get access to your funds within 24 hours which is always handy for the cashflow!

      A full breakdown of charges can be found on the Shopify website.
