Shopify store design and build: ready to sell, fast on a phone
An online shop has one job: take someone who arrived from an ad or from Google all the way to the payment page, with as few reasons to leave as possible. I design and build Shopify stores that do that, starting from €5,000.
From €5,000 for a Shopify store, from €18,000 for an online shop built from scratch.
I build stores for small brands, makers and shops that want to sell online properly. Before choosing anything I want to know what you sell, to whom, and how many orders you expect. For most shops the answer is Shopify: quick to launch, solid, and easy to run day to day without calling me.
When a shop needs something Shopify can't do well, like an unusual buying flow or very high volumes, I build it from scratch: my own front end, a separate commerce engine and Stripe for payments. That starts from €18,000, and it only makes sense past a certain size.
Whatever the platform, the same things get my attention: product pages that answer questions before they are asked, a short checkout, a clear cart, shipping rules set up correctly, conversion tracking and pages that load fast on a phone.
What it takes, and nothing more.
Platform choice
A look at your catalogue, volumes and margins to decide between Shopify and a store built from scratch.
Product pages
Photos, details, shipping, returns and common questions answered on the page, so buyers have fewer reasons to hesitate.
Checkout and payments
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, clear error messages and abandoned cart emails.
SEO for shops
Titles, meta descriptions, Product structured data, an up-to-date sitemap and redirects where they are needed.
Fast on a phone
Images in AVIF or WebP, lazy loading and a Core Web Vitals check before launch.
Integrations
Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Klaviyo or Mailchimp, the Google Shopping feed and shipping tools.

What came out of this kind of work.
Frequently asked questions.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
+
A Shopify store starts from €5,000. An online shop built from scratch starts from €18,000. These are starting prices: the real one depends on products, integrations and custom pages, and I fix it with you before work starts. After that it does not move.
How long does it take?
+
A Shopify store takes 3–5 weeks, depending on how complex it is. The number of products, the integrations and any custom pages all count.
Shopify or a store built from scratch?
+
For most shops, Shopify. A store built from scratch makes sense when you need a buying experience a theme can't give you, or when Shopify fees start to weigh on your margins.
Can you move my shop from WooCommerce or Magento?
+
Yes. Products, customers and orders come across in a controlled import, and 301 redirects keep pointing visitors from the old addresses to the new pages.
Do you run ads too?
+
No. I set up the technical side: tracking, the Google Shopping feed and email tools. The campaigns stay with you or whoever handles your marketing.
Ready to sell online?
Tell me what you sell and where you want to take it. I reply within 24 hours with the setup I would use and a clear plan, without selling you tools you don't need.
