What to look for when building a Shopify store?
Not every web developer is the same. These are the points you should be critical about — before you sign off on a quote.
Official Shopify Partner
Always ask whether the agency is a certified Shopify Partner. This guarantees platform knowledge and access to Shopify support. Web Builders is listed in the official Shopify Partner Directory.
Mobile first — always
More than 70% of online shoppers buy on mobile. A store that looks great on desktop but struggles on phone loses conversion. Test the design on real devices, not just a browser window.
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Every second of load time costs you conversion. Ask your agency explicitly what score they achieve on Google PageSpeed Insights. We aim for a standard score of 90+ on mobile.
SEO foundation built in
A technically strong SEO foundation — good URL structure, meta tags, schema markup, fast load times — should be included as standard. Not something you have to buy afterwards.
Fixed price, no hourly rates
Hourly-based projects almost always exceed budget. Ask for a fixed price based on a clear scope. That way you know exactly where you stand — no unexpected invoices afterwards.
Guidance after launch
Going live is the beginning, not the end. Ask how the agency supports you with teething issues, optimisation and growth. Good partners stay involved after go-live.
We also think about AI in your processes.
A new store is just the beginning. We look together at which processes around your shop can be smarter — customer service, order follow-up, product descriptions, marketing — and build AI agents that handle that automatically.
What you want to know.
How much does it cost to build a Shopify store? +
That depends on complexity, desired design and functionality. A basic store starts from €1,500. We discuss this during the free intake call and give you a transparent custom quote — no hidden costs.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store? +
A standard store is typically live in 3–6 weeks on average. More complex projects with custom functionality, integrations or large product catalogues may take longer. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Can I manage the store myself after launch? +
Absolutely. Shopify has a user-friendly dashboard. We give you a personal training session so you can manage products, pages and orders yourself. And we're always available if you need help.
Is the store set up for search engine optimisation? +
Yes. We build every store with a solid SEO foundation: good URL structure, meta tags, schema markup and fast load times. Want to grow further in Google? We can also help you with a comprehensive Shopify SEO strategy.
For which industries do you build a store? +
From beauty and food to fashion, home decor and sports — in every niche we know what works. Shopify is flexible enough for virtually any industry.
Can I build a Shopify store myself? +
Technically yes — Shopify has an intuitive editor and free themes. But a good store requires more than activating a template: conversion-focused structure, proper SEO setup, integrations and speed all require experience. Building it yourself costs time and often delivers a less professional result than working with a Shopify Partner.
What is Shopify Plus and when do I need it? +
Shopify Plus is the enterprise plan of Shopify, suitable for stores with high revenue (roughly €1.5M+ per year). You get access to extra checkout capabilities, a B2B channel, lower transaction costs and priority support. For most SMEs the regular Shopify plan (Basic or Shopify) is the better choice. Read when Shopify Plus is the right choice →
How is hosting and security handled by Shopify? +
Shopify is a cloud platform (SaaS): hosting, SSL certification and security updates are included as standard in your subscription. You don't need to manage a server and uptime is 99.99% — even during busy periods like Black Friday.
Shopify or WooCommerce — what is the difference? +
WooCommerce is an open-source plugin for WordPress: flexible, but you are responsible for hosting, updates, security and maintenance. Shopify is a managed platform that handles all of this. For SMEs who want to grow without technical hassle, Shopify is the smarter choice. Want to switch? We also handle Shopify migrations.
