I could see more and more improvements in orders.

It was truly a wonderful experience working with akW duo and seeing them do their magic! The level of understanding of the business and the industry Matt and Ally have, the research, the no BS approach and the reports left me more confident than ever that I’m in good hands. I’m super grateful and excited to see my website climb up!

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.

Frequently asked Questions

Shopify Web Design Agency

What is Shopify?

Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform with over 212k British live sites that allows businesses to sell products online and manage their online stores.It provides a user-friendly interface, customisable templates, and a range of features to help you sell products, track inventory, and process payments. Shopify supports businesses of all sizes, offering tools to grow your online presence and reach customers worldwide. Whether you’re starting a new venture or expanding an existing business, Shopify makes it easy to build a professional and effective online store.

Is Shopify suitable for my business?

Whether Shopify is suitable for your business depends on your specific needs and goals. Shopify offers numerous benefits, including ease of use, a wide range of customisable templates, and robust support for managing products, payments, and inventory. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for anyone to manage their online store, even without technical expertise.

We've written a detailed blog post comparing Shopify and WooCommerce, the two leading e-commerce platforms. To make the best decision for your business, contact our agency, and we’ll advise accordingly based on your unique requirements.

How much does it cost to build a Shopify store with your agency?

We offer comprehensive Shopify web design and development services, including custom theme design, app integration, UX/UI optimisation, SEO, and ongoing maintenance and support. Our goal is to create a seamless and engaging shopping experience for your customers.

Can you integrate my Shopify with other platforms?

Yes, integration can be included in our Shopify design and 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. 

How much does it cost to build a Shopify store with your agency?

The cost of building a Shopify store varies depending on the complexity and specific requirements of your project. We offer flexible pricing packages tailored to different business needs, from small local shops to large-scale retailers. Contact us for a customised quote.

How long does it take your agency to design and launch a Shopify store?

The timeline for designing and launching a Shopify store depends on the scope and complexity of the project. On average, it takes 4-8 weeks from initial consultation to go live. We'll be able to provide a detailed project timeline during our initial discussions.

What is the difference between ShopifyBasic and ShopifyPlus?

The primary difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus lies in the scale and features tailored to different business needs. Shopify is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, offering essential tools to set up and manage an online store. It includes various features like customisable themes, payment processing, and basic reporting.

Shopify Plus, on the other hand, is designed for larger enterprises with high-volume sales and more complex requirements. It offers advanced features such as:
• Enhanced Customisation: Access to the Shopify Plus exclusive Liquid code for more detailed customisation.
• Greater Scalability: Supports high-traffic volumes and large transaction volumes with ease.
• Dedicated Support: Priority customer support and a dedicated account manager to assist with any issues.
• Advanced API Integrations: More robust API access for integrating with third-party systems and tools.
• Automated Workflows: Tools like Shopify Flow automate various business processes, saving time and reducing errors.

Both platforms aim to provide a seamless e-commerce experience, but Shopify Plus offers the added features and support needed for businesses operating on a larger scale.

Can you integrate my existing systems with Shopify?

Yes, our Shopify agency specialises in integrating your Shopify with various third-party apps and existing systems to ensure smooth communication between your physical and online stores. This includes inventory management, CRM, ERP, and other essential business tools.

Will my Shopify store be mobile-friendly?

Absolutely! All our Shopify stores are designed to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly. We ensure that your customers have a seamless shopping experience, whether they're browsing on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.

Does your agency provide ongoing support and maintenance for Shopify stores?

Yes, we offer ongoing support and maintenance services to keep your Shopify store running smoothly. This includes regular updates, troubleshooting, performance optimisation, and assistance with any issues that may arise post-launch.

How do you measure the success of a Shopify store after launch?

We measure the success of a Shopify store after launch using a variety of key performance indicators (KPIs). These include:

• Sales Performance: Tracking revenue, average order value, and conversion rates to assess how well the store is selling products.
• Customer Engagement: Monitoring metrics such as bounce rate, time on site, and page views to understand how visitors are interacting with your store.
• Traffic Sources: Analysing where your visitors are coming from—organic search, paid ads, social media, or direct traffic—to optimise marketing efforts.
• Customer Retention: Evaluating repeat purchase rates and customer lifetime value to gauge long-term customer loyalty.
• SEO Performance: Checking keyword rankings, organic traffic growth, and search visibility to ensure your store is easily found by potential customers.

By regularly reviewing these metrics, we can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance your store’s performance, ensuring sustained growth and success.
