01 / The Problem
Most Online Stores Leave Money on the Table Every Day.
eCommerce is brutally competitive. The difference between a store that grows and one that stagnates is almost always the quality of the design and the speed of the site. Here's what's hurting most stores we inherit:
- Slow loading times — every extra second of load time costs roughly 7% in conversions
- Poor mobile shopping experience on a platform where 70%+ of traffic is mobile
- Checkout friction — too many steps, confusing layout, no trust signals at payment
- Weak product pages — bad photography display, poor copy hierarchy, no social proof
- No SEO foundation — product and category pages invisible to Google
- Template design that looks identical to hundreds of competitors

Features Built for Conversion
The specific capabilities that separate stores that grow from stores that plateau.
Sub-2s Page Loads
Every store we build targets sub-2 second load times on mobile. Image optimization, lazy loading, and proper CDN configuration out of the box.
Conversion-Optimized PDPs
Product detail pages built around buyer psychology — image galleries, scarcity signals, reviews, size guides, and upsells in the right order.
Streamlined Checkout
Reduced-step checkout with trust badges, payment logos, and progress indicators — removing every reason a buyer might hesitate.
Product SEO Architecture
Proper URL structure, schema markup, faceted navigation handling, and canonical tags so your product and category pages actually rank.
Abandoned Cart Flows
Integration with Klaviyo, Omnisend, or Shopify Email for automated recovery sequences that bring back buyers who didn't complete checkout.
Reviews & Social Proof
Integrated review systems (Judge.me, Yotpo, Okendo) with structured data so star ratings show up directly in Google search results.
Subscription & Recurring Orders
Recharge, Bold Subscriptions, or custom subscription logic for stores with recurring product or replenishment models.
Inventory & ERP Integration
Two-way sync with your inventory management, ERP, or 3PL — no manual stock updates, no overselling.
Analytics & CRO Foundation
GA4, Hotjar, and proper event tracking installed at launch — so you have real data to make conversion rate decisions from day one.

07 / FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Both. For most retail and DTC brands, Shopify is the right platform — it's proven, has a great app ecosystem, and scales well. For businesses with complex B2B pricing, custom product configurators, unique checkout flows, or heavy ERP requirements, we build fully custom. We recommend the right platform during discovery based on your needs, not on what's easiest for us.
A custom Shopify store with a bespoke theme typically ranges from $8,000–$20,000 CAD. Stores with custom features — subscriptions, wholesale tiers, configurators, or complex integrations — range from $20,000–$50,000. Fully custom platforms start at $50,000+. Every project is scoped during discovery with a detailed breakdown.
Yes. We handle platform migrations including product data, customer records, order history, SEO redirects, and metafield mapping. We benchmark pre-migration rankings and implement 301 redirects to preserve your organic equity. Most clients see ranking improvements within 60–90 days post-launch thanks to improved site speed and on-page optimization.
Shopify SEO requires solving specific technical problems: duplicate content from faceted navigation, collection pagination, thin product pages, and the /collections/ + /products/ URL overlap. We solve all of these at build time — proper canonicals, faceted navigation handling, rich product schema, and content strategy for category pages.
Yes. We integrate with Cin7, Brightpearl, NetSuite, and custom ERP systems via API. Inventory sync, order routing, and fulfillment status updates all flow automatically — no manual reconciliation required.
A custom Shopify store typically runs 5–8 weeks from discovery to launch. Stores with custom functionality, large product catalogs, or complex integrations run 8–16 weeks. We share a detailed project timeline at the start so your merchandising and marketing teams can plan their launch activities.
Yes. We offer maintenance plans covering theme updates, app compatibility reviews, performance monitoring, and CRO improvements. For growing brands, we also offer retainer arrangements for ongoing development work as your store scales.
