Our success relies on yours (cheesy, we know). We believe we have it all to assist you in taking your Shopify store to another level. All our Shopify websites are integrated with in-house systems and third-party apps so you can smoothly start and grow your business online.
Mobile-responsive Shopify
With over 60% of online purchases being performed on mobiles, your customers need to be able to browse and buy from your Shopify store on any device. We assure a smooth user experience on desktops and mobile phones.
POS and inventory management
We integrate your Shopify store with your existing POS (Point of Sale) and Inventory management systems or help you in choosing the most suitable and versatile software.
Order tracking connection
We connect your Shopify eCommerce to shipping providers like Royal Mail, DHL, DPD or UPS. Hence, your customers will receive automated order tracking updates.
Accounting software integration
We coordinate your accounting software like QuickBooks, Sage and Xero with Shopify. Both you and your customer will receive automatically generated invoices or receipts.
Flexible shipping rates set up
Depending on the products you sell you require a different way to calculate your shipping. We set shipping rates by fixed-price, tiered pricing, weight-based, and location-based rates.
Connection to all sales channels
We assist you in connecting your Shopify to other sale channels like Google Shopping, Amazon, eBay, Instagram Store and Facebook. We unify your existing sales platforms to reach a bigger audience.
We build and integrate your Shopify platform for a better start and growth of your business
We look beyond the code and combine our passion for user intent and experience to deliver the most fabulous solutions for small and big businesses. We believe that the website should be an extension of your business that helps you reach a wider audience.
Where design meets functionality
To us, designing meaningful websites and eCommerce platforms takes more than creative lead and code. We team up with ambitious business owners to learn about their brand, uniqueness and mission to come up with a solution to their challenges through our design and copywriting services.
We create a platform that resonates with your visitors and works as an expansion of your business. To us, functionality and performance are as important as the design.
A holistic approach to your business
We develop every website and Shopify store with a holistic approach to your business. Together, we learn about your customer’s avatar, their behaviour on existing platforms and their expectations to craft the user experience out of this world.
We analyse your competition, your in-house processes and most challenging objectives to tailor the platform and its’ back-end to your unique business structure.
Support until the end
Whether you want to continue with our ongoing maintenance and marketing plans or decide to ‘go your way’ after the project is finished, we’ll support you until the very end.
We finish our projects with training and support materials to assure you or your staff gain the basic skills needed to update your inventory and add new products to your Shopify store. Also, whenever it’s possible, we automate the processes to save you time in the future.
People love us, apparently 😊
The results have exceeded our expectations.
The whole process was straightforward and they took the pains away from managing the project. Matt and his team took the creative lead and used the information we provided to create a great website.
Their attention to detail was absolutely fantastic.
So many website designers create a website that looks great, but does not initiate the customer to create action. AkW really understood this process and realise that an effective website needs to create an enquiry or a sale.
300% more inquiries than in the previous period!
This has been very successful in attracting and sustaining many more new members and taking the club forward. We are very pleased with the service, the data collection facilities and ongoing professional support.
The process was clear and we knew what to expect.
We were positively surprised with how result-oriented Matt was, on top of the website design. We are highly satisfied with the number of online enquiries we are receiving. Our website is now starting to show up in the top 3 positions on Google.
Our page jumped up to 3rd position in Google!
Great at SEO and general optimization and marketing. Always available for a phone call for any queries, even after doing the web design/SEO etc. Have seen a great increase in the number of enquiries coming through the website and facebook page.
Carefully put my ideas into an intuitive website!
I’ve had lots of enquiries for work, improved my online presence massively and also seamlessly improved my ratings, reviews and other important features that customers follow.

Shopify FAQs
What is Shopify?
Shopify is an eCommerce platform with over 165k British live sites that allows anyone to set up an online store and sell products on the Internet. Template Shopify development is the cheapest option for the eCommerce design we offer.
How much does Shopify charge?
Shopify charges monthly fees starting at £20/month ($29/month). Additionally, the platform charges a small percentage for every product bought and 20p on top of that for each transaction.
Is Shopify good for new businesses?
Shopify is the most user-friendly eCommerce platform and is ideal for starting and small businesses. After working with us on creating your new platform, you’ll receive guides and supporting materials so you’re confident with running your own eCommerce.
Will my Shopify store be optimised for search engines?
Yes, all our website prices include on-page technical SEO. Although you usually require an active SEO strategy to rank at the top of Google search results, it still gives you a little extra kick to start ranking.
Can you integrate my Shopify with other platforms?
Yes, integration can be included in our Shopify store development service. We’ll ask you about your requirements during our initial interview. We also offer an integration-only service if your Shopify is up and running already but still needs to be unified with other software.
Do you take photos of my new store?
We love creating new content and photography is our passion, so yes, we can take some smashing photos of your venue/physical store if required and possible. We also provide product photography.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Northampton, UK but we work with clients all around the United Kingdom and the world. We develop Shopify websites with our clients over video calls or face-to-face, whenever possible.
What is the difference between ShopifyBasic and ShopifyPlus?
Shopify Basic and Shopify plus have the same dashboard and eCommerce functionality. The Plus version gives you more freedom while wanting to customise your platforms’ functionality and design. Additionally, you’ll get more insights into the data and access to the store’s code.
Do you offer maintenance for Shopify platforms?
Shopify provides hosting and 24/7 support for all the stores built on the platform, so you don’t need a maintenance package from your website developers. We offer custom SEO packages for eCommerce and can provide additional support to assist with further development, functionality and UX/UI improvements if requested.
Why should I choose Shopify?
Shopify is the easiest-to-manage eCommerce platform with 24/7 support and hosting provided. It uses a single dashboard to manage orders, shipping and payments that is fairly easy to use. It doesn’t provide full flexibility in design if choosing template-based design but it’s faster to build.
Is Shopify the best for me and my business?
It depends on your current setup and goals for the future. Shopify is fairly easy to navigate and manage, but it’s less customisable. Fully bespoke Shopify designs can be too costly for starting and small businesses.
