Platform Comparison

When is Shopify the right choice?

Every platform has strengths. Here's when Shopify is the best fit — and when it might not be.

✓ Shopify is ideal when…

  • You want to launch quickly without technical complexity
  • You sell physical products and need POS integration
  • You don't want to manage hosting or security yourself
  • You need international selling with multi-currency
  • Your team is less technical and wants an easy admin

→ Consider alternatives when…

  • You need a blog-heavy site with a store — WooCommerce is better
  • You want zero transaction fees — WooCommerce charges none
  • You need complex B2B pricing or multi-store — PrestaShop excels here
  • You require deep custom functionality beyond apps
  • You want full ownership of your code and data

Our Process

From concept to live store

A structured approach that gets your Shopify store live quickly without cutting corners.

1

Discovery & Planning

We learn about your products, target customers, and business goals. We review your brand, competitors, and the features you need — from product variants and shipping rules to app requirements and integrations.

2

Design & Prototyping

We design your store's key pages: homepage, collection pages, product pages, and checkout flow. You'll see and approve designs before we write a single line of code. Everything is mobile-first and conversion-focused.

3

Build & Configure

We build your custom Shopify theme, configure products and collections, set up shipping and tax rules, integrate apps, and connect payment gateways. Everything is tested across devices and browsers.

4

Launch & Training

We launch your store, set up analytics and tracking, submit your sitemap to Google, and provide comprehensive training so your team can manage products, orders, and content confidently.

A custom Shopify store typically starts from £3,000-£5,000 for a well-designed store with product setup and essential integrations. More complex stores with custom functionality, advanced integrations, or Shopify Plus features can range from £5,000-£15,000+. This is separate from Shopify's monthly subscription fee (from £25/month). We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements.
Most small to medium businesses do well on Shopify Basic or Shopify (standard). Shopify Plus is designed for high-volume merchants doing over £500k annually and needing custom checkout, Shopify Flow automation, wholesale channels, or dedicated support. We'll advise which plan makes sense based on your sales volume and feature requirements.
Yes. We regularly migrate stores from WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and other platforms to Shopify. We transfer all your products, customer data, and order history, and set up 301 redirects to protect your search rankings. The process is carefully planned to minimise downtime.
Shopify provides solid SEO foundations — clean URLs, automatic sitemaps, SSL, and fast loading times. We enhance this with proper meta tags, structured data markup, optimised images, and clean heading hierarchies. Shopify's URL structure has some limitations compared to WordPress, but with proper setup these rarely impact rankings. For ongoing SEO, our SEO services can help drive organic traffic.
A custom Shopify store typically takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch — faster than self-hosted platforms because there's no server setup or hosting configuration. Simple stores with fewer products can launch in 3-4 weeks. Complex builds with custom integrations and large catalogues may take 8-12 weeks.
Yes. All projects include 30 days post-launch support. For ongoing help with theme updates, new features, app management, and design changes, our care plans provide monthly hours you can use for any Shopify work. Since Shopify handles hosting and security, your care plan hours go entirely towards improvements and growth.
