Overview
Shopify development company: what this is, in plain words
Most online stores lose money in the same three places: a slow storefront on mobile, a checkout with more steps than it needs, and a product catalogue nobody can navigate. As a Shopify development company, we fix those first, because a beautiful store that takes six seconds to load will always underperform a plain one that takes two.
Shopify is the right answer for the large majority of stores, and we will say so even though a custom build would earn us more. When your catalogue, pricing rules or integrations genuinely outgrow it, we build a headless storefront on Next.js instead and explain exactly what that extra money buys you.
Shopify plan, app and payment fees depend on the provider and plan, so we list them in the proposal and you pay them directly.
Who it is for
- Brands launching a first store and wanting it done once, properly
- Retailers on a slow or dated platform losing mobile sales
- Businesses moving offline stock and catalogue online for the first time
What you get
- A storefront that hits Core Web Vitals on a mid-range phone, not just on your laptop
- A checkout your customers finish, measured before and after launch
- Your team editing products, prices and content without a developer
- Store, apps, domain and payment accounts all in your company name

Quick answers
About cost and timing
The things people ask right after they see a price.
Prices depend on your market and scope; see the plans on this page. Product count, custom design, migrations, integrations and headless builds all change the price. Shopify and app fees are separate and paid by you directly. Flexible on scope. Firm on price. We confirm the full price in writing before any work starts.
Most stores take 3 to 8 weeks. A ready-to-sell store sits at the short end. Migrations and headless builds take longer because of the data and testing involved. You get a dated plan after the scoping call, and late content moves dates, which we flag early.
How we contract
Clear terms, before you spend anything
The commercial side in plain words. The full wording is in our terms, and your proposal sets the details.
- A written proposal comes firstScope, deliverables, milestones, price and timeline, in writing. Work starts when you accept it.
- The price does not moveOnce agreed, the number in the proposal is the number on the invoice. Changes to scope are quoted as a written change request and only built once you approve them.
- You pay by milestoneProjects are paid in milestones set in your proposal. No project is billed in full upfront. Invoices are payable within 14 days unless your agreement says otherwise.
- You own the workCode, designs and accounts are registered to your company from day one. We keep our own pre-existing tools and methods.
- No lock-inEither side can end a project with written notice, and you pay for the work done up to then. Retainers run month to month with 30 days written notice.
- 30 days of fixes after launchDefects in what we delivered are fixed for 30 days after launch. New features and third-party changes are quoted separately.

Still have a question?
Thirty minutes with us usually answers everything, including whether we are the right fit.
You get a store that is ready to sell: theme, product and collection structure, checkout, payments, shipping and tax set up, tracking installed and a launch checklist. We train your team to run it. The store, domain and apps are all registered in your company name.
You see the store taking shape on a preview link, with a demo each week. We are online Monday to Saturday, 09:00 to 21:00 IST, and every message gets a reply within 12 hours. You talk directly to the senior people building the store. Bigger requests are planned into the next calendar.
We need your products with names, prices and images, your brand files, and details on shipping, payments and taxes. If your data is messy, we can help clean it. We also need one person who can approve designs and answer questions quickly during the build. Short answers by message are enough for most of this.
You do. The Shopify account, domain, payment gateway and every app subscription are registered to your company. We work inside them as a collaborator, and you can remove our access at any time. Custom code we write for your store is yours. Nothing is held back if we ever part ways.
Every project includes 30 days of fixes after launch. Your team can then manage products, prices and content without a developer. If you want ongoing help, we can agree a monthly maintenance plan. Shopify plan and app fees are billed to you directly. The store keeps running whether or not you hire us again.
Yes, we plan for it. Migrations include a full redirect map from old addresses to new ones, so search value carries across. We watch Search Console for the first month and fix what slips. A short dip in traffic after any move is possible, and we say so upfront.
Only the ones you need. Every app adds code, so we prefer built-in Shopify features first and test speed before and after each install. We list app costs in the proposal, and the subscriptions are in your name, so you can cancel any of them.
Shopify suits most stores, and we say so even though a custom build would earn us more. Not included unless agreed: photography, ongoing ads or SEO, and plan and app fees. Headless only pays off when your catalogue or integrations truly outgrow Shopify. We tell you which fits on the call.
