Shopify Store Creation
A clean, fast Shopify store, not a template loaded with apps.
Customised Online Store 2.0 theme or headless front end, catalogue, checkout and SEO scoped from the start. Sections coded in Liquid rather than one more app to pay for every month.
Shopify lets you launch quickly, without managing hosting or server updates, with a reliable checkout. Most slow Shopify stores share the same story: a generic theme, an app for every small feature, scripts piling up and a monthly bill that keeps growing. We build lean Shopify stores, with custom code wherever it can replace an app, and the perspective of a team that also works with PrestaShop, WooCommerce and Shopware.
What the build includes
Online Store 2.0 theme
A solid base theme, customised with sections and blocks written in Liquid, so your team can build pages in the editor without touching the code.
Headless when it is justified
For a very specific interface or several front ends, a decoupled front end with Hydrogen. We will tell you if it is not necessary: headless costs more to build and maintain.
Catalogue and content
Collections, variants, metafields for structured product information, search and filters. Editorial pages and a blog for SEO.
Fewer apps, more code under control
A feature specific to your business can often be coded in Liquid, in a private app or with Shopify Flow. See our custom Shopify app and automation and AI for Shopify pages.
Data migration and SEO
Products, customers and content carried over from your old site, old URLs redirected, structured data and speed checked before go-live.
Price and timeline
A store build starts at €4,000 and takes three to eight weeks, excluding the Shopify subscription. The fixed quote arrives within 24h of the scoping call.
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Theme | Customising an existing theme costs less than a headless front end. |
| Custom sections | Each dedicated section adds development and testing. |
| Data migration | An import from another platform requires mapping and redirects. |
| Apps and integrations | A private app, Flow or an ERP connector adds dedicated work. |
Shopify or an open source platform?
Shopify is a good fit for a fast launch and for a brand that does not want to manage infrastructure. For a very rich catalogue, complex B2B rules or no commission, PrestaShop, WooCommerce or Shopware are often a better fit. We work on all four: our e-commerce platform comparison, along with our PrestaShop or Shopify and WooCommerce or Shopify pages, will help you decide. If you want to leave Shopify, see Shopify to WooCommerce migration or our Shopify to PrestaShop migration module.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a Shopify store?
From €4,000. The price depends on the theme (customised or headless), the catalogue, data migration and custom sections. The Shopify subscription and any apps come on top.
How long does a Shopify store take?
Three to eight weeks depending on the theme, the catalogue and custom development. The schedule is set out in the quote.
Do you use a lot of apps?
Only what is strictly needed. Every app has a monthly cost and an impact on speed; when a feature can be coded cleanly in Liquid or in a private app, we code it.
Theme or headless?
A customised Online Store 2.0 theme covers the vast majority of projects. Headless with Hydrogen makes sense for very specific interface needs or several front ends; we discuss it during scoping.
Do you develop Shopify apps?
Yes, private apps and checkout extensions. See our custom Shopify app page.
What if I want to leave Shopify later?
We also handle migrations from Shopify to WooCommerce or PrestaShop, including catalogue, customers and redirects.
What do I own?
The theme and the custom code, for which you receive the source code. The platform remains Shopify, with its subscription and terms.
