SHOPIFY DEVELOPMENT

Start Up

Establish the best foundations for your business with a branded Shopify e-commerce store that aligns with your strategic aims.

Starting an e-commerce business is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. There are countless decisions to make, from which platform to use to how to structure your product pages. The choices you make now will impact your business for years to come, and I’ll help you to get them right from the start.

I work with early-stage fashion, homeware, lifestyle and food brands who want to launch their e-commerce store properly, with all the right foundations in place. This isn't about rushing to get something live – it's about building a Shopify store that's set up to grow with your business, with everything you need to succeed.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Start Up package is ideal if you're launching your first e-commerce store, or if you've been selling face to face or through marketplaces, and you're ready to build your own branded online presence. You're a purpose-driven brand with a clear vision but need expert guidance to bring it to life online.

Your time will be required if you are supplying your own assets and copy, and in any case you should expect around an hour per week to review the site, approve and make any revisions.
The work will be completed remotely. Site visits can however be arranged, with prior notice and subject to additional fees.
There is no VAT on top of the price and no hidden additional costs.
Once the project has been completed, you should have some budget available for marketing and advertising to maximise the potential of your strategy.
A 25% deposit is required to start the project, and the remaining 75% is due on completion, with net 14 days terms.
I am usually available to start with around 4 weeks’ notice, but this can vary. Get in touch now to find out my current availability.
