Shopify website development for stores that rank, not just look sharp

Shopify development that keeps the platform’s strengths, a checkout that converts and hosting you never think about, and adds the SEO structure Shopify does not give you by default. Collections built to rank, a theme carrying no dead weight, revenue you can attribute.

What Shopify development brings to your business, shown on sites we built

Every site shown below is live and was built by us. Most are SEO clients too, so we can show you the traffic as well as the design.

Collections built to rank

Shopify collection URLs duplicate easily. We structure and canonicalise them so your category pages compete instead of cancelling each other out.

A theme that is not carrying dead weight

We strip apps and scripts you are not using. On most stores we audit, third party apps are the single biggest speed problem.

Revenue you can attribute

GA4 ecommerce and conversion tracking set up correctly, so you can see which channels actually pay.

Enquiries from the site

Form submissions, call clicks and email clicks

Form submissions, call clicks and email clicks recorded in Google Analytics on a site we built. A website is judged on this, not on how it looks in a mockup, so tap-to-call and the forms are wired and tracked before launch.

What is included

What our Shopify development services include

No vague retainers. This is the actual work, and you can ask us about any line of it on the call. Every build ships SEO ready, and most clients pair it with local SEO that reaches your whole service area; see the websites we have built for what that looks like live.

Custom theme development

Built on a solid base and tailored, rather than a marketplace theme with the colours changed.

Collection and filter architecture

Faceted navigation that does not generate thousands of crawlable junk URLs.

Product schema and rich results

Price, availability, ratings and variants marked up correctly.

App and speed audit

We tell you which apps are costing you more in speed than they return in value.

Migration to Shopify

From WooCommerce, Magento or a custom cart, with redirects mapped before launch.

Ongoing Shopify SEO

Content, internal linking and technical work after launch.

How we run it

Our Shopify development process, start to finish

  • Free audit. We look at where you stand today and tell you what is holding you back, whether or not you hire us.
  • Plan and priorities. A short plan in plain English, ordered by what will move first.
  • Build and fix. We do the work. You approve anything that touches your brand or your money.
  • Measure. Calls, forms and booked jobs, tracked properly from day one.
  • Review monthly. A call, a report you can read in five minutes, and what we are doing next.

What we will not do

We will not promise you a number one ranking, sign you to a twelve month contract, or hold your accounts hostage. Google itself tells business owners that guaranteed rankings are a warning sign, and we agree.

If we are not earning the fee, you should be able to leave. So you can.

Who our Shopify development service is for

For product businesses that want a store they can run themselves, from a first launch to Shopify Plus. If your catalogue needs unusual logic, a custom build may fit better.

Other ways we build

Most clients combine two or three of these. Hiring us for one is completely fine too.

Pair Shopify development with our other services

Rankings bring the traffic. These turn it into booked work.

Questions

Questions we hear about Shopify development

Can Shopify rank as well as WordPress?

Yes. The platform is not the limiting factor. Structure, speed and content are, and those are all in your control.

Will I lose rankings moving to Shopify?

Not if the migration is done properly. The risk is almost always a missing redirect map, which is the first thing we build.

Do you build Shopify Plus?

Yes, including custom checkout work where the plan allows it.

Can you fix my existing Shopify store?

Often that is the better spend. We audit and tell you whether to fix or rebuild.
