Ecommerce Development for New and Existing Stores
Three ways in. Pick yours to see the warning signs, what we deliver and what we need from you.
New Store Builds
You're selling online for the first time, or launching a new brand or product line.
Sound familiar?- You have products and a brand, but no store yet
- You're moving off marketplaces or social-only selling
- You need a launch-ready store, not a DIY project
- Store setup, theme and brand applied
- Product, collection and cart templates
- Payments, shipping and taxes configured with you
Your products, prices and photos, and a Shopify plan in your name
Plan my new storeExisting Store Redesigns
Your Shopify store works, but it looks dated, loads slowly or is hard to shop on a phone.
Sound familiar?- Most traffic is mobile, but the store feels built for desktop
- Shoppers can't find products or pick the right variant
- Twenty apps, half of them unused
- A redesign on your current store, no re-import
- Cleaner navigation, filters and product pages
- Apps reviewed and trimmed
Collaborator access to your store and your sales priorities
Scope my redesignStore Migration and Replatforming
You're on WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace or another platform, and it's holding the store back.
Sound familiar?- Your platform's fees or limits keep getting in the way
- Plugins and updates break the store
- You want Shopify without losing products, customers or links
- Products, customers and order history moved
- Every old URL mapped to a redirect
- Old and new stores checked side by side
Admin access to the current store and a quiet launch window
Plan my migrationShopify & Ecommerce Development Services
Everything between “we need a store” and the first real order, in the order a store gets built: what’s included, what’s scoped per project and exactly where our work stops.
Store Setup and Configuration
Everything a store needs before the first order, set up and checked with you.
- Store settings, domains and staff accounts
- Payment provider, shipping profiles and rates
- Tax settings, policies and order notifications
Payment, tax and legal settings are configured with you and approved by you. We don't give tax or legal advice.
Storefront Design and Theme Customization
Your brand on a licensed Shopify theme, shaped around how your customers shop.
- Homepage, navigation, header and footer
- Responsive layouts for phone, tablet and desktop
- Reusable sections your team rearranges in the theme editor
- Custom Liquid sections when the theme falls short
We customize a licensed theme. Fully custom themes aren't part of this service.
Product Catalog and Shopping Experience
Product and collection pages that answer questions and get to the cart fast.
- Product and collection templates, variants and swatches
- Menus, search and filters by size, color or type
- Cart and checkout settings within your Shopify plan
Checkout is configured within Shopify's settings and your plan, not rebuilt from code.
Store Migration
Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace and others, without losing your data or your links.
- Products, variants, images, customers and order history
- Old URLs mapped to 301 redirects
- Counts reconciled between old and new store before launch
Rankings can dip after any move. We protect them with redirects, but nobody can guarantee them.
App and Business-System Integrations
The apps your store runs on, connected and configured, not left half set up.
- Reviews, email and SMS marketing apps
- Shipping, fulfillment and accounting connections
- Analytics, pixels and CRM handoff
We connect and configure existing apps. Custom app development isn't offered.
Pre-Launch Testing and Store Handoff
Nothing goes live until it's been ordered, refunded and checked on real phones.
- Phone, tablet and desktop checks
- Catalog, navigation, discount and test-order runs
- Your sign-off, then a handoff review with your team
We test the agreed order paths. That's not a security, accessibility or compliance certification.
Want this spec filled in for your store? It’s the first thing we do on a free call.
The Launch Checklist Every Store Must Pass
No store goes live with us until it passes these 16 checks. Already selling? Tick the ones your store passes today and see how close it is.
This is our standard pre-launch acceptance checklist, shown as a framework. It is not a client case study or a result.

Shopify & Ecommerce Development FAQs
Cost, timing, platforms, ownership and support.
Ask us anything about your store on a free call. You'll leave with a clear next step.
Book a free consultation (832) 510-3999How much does a Shopify or ecommerce website development project cost?
It depends on catalog size, design depth, migration, apps and integrations, and whether we write the copy. You get a written quote after a free consultation. Our fee is shown separately from your Shopify plan, theme license, apps and payment fees, which are billed to you by those vendors.
How long does a store build or redesign take?
Your schedule comes with your quote. It depends on scope, and on how quickly product data, photos, approvals and account access arrive. Having one decision-maker who can approve each stage is the biggest single speed-up.
Can you redesign an existing Shopify store?
Yes. We redesign on your current store, so products, customers and orders stay where they are. We build the new theme in the background, you review it on a preview link, and it goes live when you approve it.
Which ecommerce platforms do you support?
Shopify, on any standard Shopify plan, and WooCommerce for stores that belong on WordPress. We don’t take on Shopify Plus checkout extensions, headless builds or custom app development.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We move products, variants, images, customers and order history from platforms like WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, map every old URL to a redirect, and reconcile counts before launch. Some data can’t move cleanly between platforms, such as saved passwords. We’ll tell you what’s affected up front.
What product data, content and account access do you need?
Your product list with prices, variants and photos, brand assets, any copy you want to keep, and access to your Shopify store, domain and the apps it connects to. We can write product and page copy, or build with yours. We send a checklist once the scope is agreed.
Who owns the store, accounts and completed deliverables?
You do. The Shopify store owner account, your domain, your products, customers and orders stay in your name. Once the project is paid, the theme customizations we build are yours. Themes and apps are licensed products, billed to you by their vendors.
What is included in theme, app and integration work?
Theme work means applying your brand to a licensed Shopify theme, setting up templates and sections, and building custom Liquid sections where the theme falls short. App work means choosing, installing and configuring existing apps and connecting them to your other systems. Your quote lists each one. We don’t build custom apps.
What support is available after launch?
30 days of launch support for anything we built that isn’t working as agreed. Shopify hosts the store, so there’s no server upkeep. New features, sections and changes after that are quoted as their own project.
Is ecommerce SEO included or a separate engagement?
The build includes SEO foundations: clean page titles and headings, image alt text, redirects for migrations and a sitemap submitted to Google. Ongoing work to grow organic traffic and sales is our separate ecommerce SEO service.
