The problem
It’s rarely the platform. It’s the build.
If sales have stalled, it’s usually one of these three.
01It looks like a templateYour competitors bought the same theme, so shoppers can’t tell your store apart.
02It doesn’t sell on phonesMost shoppers buy on their phones. A slow mobile store loses them before checkout.
03Products don’t get foundMessy collections and missing structured data bury your products on Google.
Here’s how we build it properly ↓

“Mehrad redesigned the website for Grow Mushrooms Canada from the ground up. He understood what we needed before we had to explain it. The site looks sharp, runs fast, and has actually helped grow the business.”
Jessica SniderFounder, Grow Mushrooms Canada
Ground-up store redesignFast, sharp online storeHelped grow the business
Theme customization projects typically start around $2,500, and full custom store builds usually land between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on catalogue size and features. Every project gets a fixed written quote before work starts.
How long does a custom Shopify build take?
Most stores launch in about six weeks from kickoff. One senior team handles design and build, so nothing gets lost in hand-offs, and your written plan includes the schedule.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?
Yes — from WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, Magento or an older platform. Products, customers and order history come across intact, and every old URL is redirected so the Google rankings you’ve earned survive the move.
Will I be able to update the store myself?
Yes — that’s Shopify’s strength. We build the theme with editable sections, so products, banners, pages and prices are yours to manage, and handover includes a recorded training session your future staff can watch too.
Do you handle SEO and ongoing support?
Both. Every build ships with structured data, optimized collections and fast load times, and we stay on after launch for theme updates, speed work and conversion optimization. For competitive catalogues, ongoing Shopify SEO is available as a monthly engagement.
Should my store be on Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits stores that want checkout, hosting, payments and PCI compliance handled for them; the trade-off is the platform fee, which can make WooCommerce the better fit for some businesses. We build both, so our recommendation follows your numbers, not our toolbox.
