Shopify store build for stores that sell
A Shopify store build takes you from idea or old platform to a finished, trading Shopify store. I design and build the full store, from homepage to checkout, with products, collections, apps and settings configured properly.
Why it matters
Full Shopify stores, from the first screen to checkout. Designed and built by a freelancer who has run and sold ecommerce stores.
What is included
Store design
Homepage, collections, product pages and content pages designed in Figma first.
Theme build
A custom or carefully adapted Online Store 2.0 theme with sections your team can rearrange.
Products and collections
Structure, metafields and collections set up so the range is easy to browse and manage.
Apps and integrations
Reviews, email, subscriptions and analytics added properly rather than stacked as scripts.
Launch checklist
Payments, shipping, tax, legal pages, tracking and testing on real devices before launch.
Who it is for
- Brands launching their first serious store
- Growing stores that have outgrown their theme
- Businesses moving to Shopify from another platform
- Teams who want a store they can run without a developer
How it works
Brief and call
A short brief or a 20 minute call on the store, margins, numbers and what is getting in the way of sales.
Scope
A clear reply on what the work involves. A small change and a full custom theme are different pieces of work, and they are priced that way.
Design and build
Designed in Figma, then hand-built on Shopify Online Store 2.0 with sections your team can rearrange.
Launch and handover
Testing on real phones, redirects and metadata carried over, then a walkthrough so you can run the store day to day.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Shopify store build take?
It follows the job. A focused store can move quickly, while a custom theme with many templates takes longer. You will get a realistic timeline with the scope.
Can you help if I am starting from scratch?
Yes. I have run and sold profitable stores myself, so I can advise on structure, apps and launch priorities as well as the build.
How much does it cost?
There is no single figure, because no two projects need the same work. Send a short brief and you will get a clear scope and quote that fits the job, straight from me.
What experience do you have?
I have 8+ years of experience building websites, I have worked with businesses turning over £5 million+ a year in sales, and I have run and sold multiple profitable ecommerce stores of my own. That is why recommendations such as trust bars, sticky add to basket and shop-by-need navigation come from live trading, not from a trend report.
