Not an agency that
also does Shopify.
Pure Shopify.

Web Builders is 100% focused on Shopify. No WordPress, no Wix, no "we do everything". Only Shopify — and we're genuinely good at it. Over 8 years of experience, official Shopify Partner and direct access to Shopify Support.

Official Shopify Partner

What the Shopify Partner programme means — and what it doesn't.

Being a Shopify Partner isn't a marketing title. It's a certification that Shopify grants based on demonstrated expertise, client results and technical knowledge. As a partner:

  • Direct Shopify Support — We call directly with Shopify's partner support line — no hours waiting in the chat.
  • Early access — New Shopify features and betas reach us first, so you benefit before anyone else.
  • Partner network — We're listed in the official Shopify Partner Directory and collaborate with other certified partners.
  • No platform bias — We earn nothing from Shopify subscriptions. Our advice is always in your interest.

Technical expertise

What we actually do — no buzzwords.

As a Shopify expert it goes far beyond installing a theme. These are the technical areas we work with every day:

Liquid

Shopify Liquid Development

Shopify's template language for the front-end. We write clean, well-documented Liquid code for themes, sections, snippets and filters — fully tailored.

Online Store 2.0

OS 2.0 Themes

Full mastery of the Online Store 2.0 framework. Customisable sections on every page, App Blocks and JSON templates — no hacks required.

Metafields

Metafields & Metaobjects

Extra product information, specs or relational data without apps. We deploy Metafields and Metaobjects when the store platform demands it.

Shopify Functions

Shopify Functions

Custom logic in the checkout: discount rules, shipping conditions, payment method show/hide. Shopify Functions replace the old Shopify Scripts.

Storefront API

Headless & Hydrogen

For stores that want maximum front-end freedom. We build headless Shopify stores with the Storefront API or Shopify's own Hydrogen framework.

Integrations

Apps & Connections

From Klaviyo and Gorgias to accounting software and Picqer — we select the right apps and build custom integrations via the Admin API.

Specialist vs generalist

Why a Shopify expert, not a generalist?

Many agencies "also do Shopify". Here's the concrete difference.

Situation
Shopify expert
Generalist
Fix a Shopify bug
Solved directly via Liquid knowledge
Looks it up, trial & error
App advice
Knows the Shopify ecosystem, advises honestly
Installs whatever client asks for
Performance problem
Knows exactly which Shopify bottlenecks exist
Generic web performance approach
Customise checkout
Shopify Functions, checkout extensibility
Not possible or via expensive apps
Shopify update
Follows every release, applies immediately
Only notices when something breaks
Scale to €1M+
Knows when Shopify Plus is relevant
No e-commerce growth strategy

We're the right fit if…

  • You want Shopify as your e-commerce foundation
  • You want a reliable, dedicated partner — not rotating project managers
  • You think in terms of results and want to invest in quality
  • You want to scale fast and don't want technology holding you back
  • You already have a Shopify store that could perform better

Probably not the best match if…

  • You're looking for a WordPress, Wix or Squarespace website
  • You want a fully bespoke platform (not Shopify)
  • You're looking for a standalone designer without technical execution
  • Your primary focus is finding the lowest price, not quality
  • Your webshop budget is below €500
FAQ

What you want to know about a Shopify expert.

What's the difference between a Shopify expert and a generic web agency? +

A Shopify expert works exclusively with Shopify — meaning deep knowledge of Liquid, Shopify Functions, Metafields, Online Store 2.0 and the full Shopify ecosystem. A generalist also builds WordPress, Wix and other platforms. That difference shows in the quality of the end result and the advice you receive.

Do I need Shopify Plus? +

Shopify Plus is only relevant once you exceed €1M annual revenue or have specific requirements around checkout customisation, B2B functionality or multi-store management. For most SME webshops, Shopify Advanced is sufficient. We'll give you honest advice on this during the free consultation.

Can you improve my existing Shopify store? +

Absolutely. We regularly help entrepreneurs who already have a Shopify store but want it to perform better. We start with an audit of speed, conversion, apps and SEO — and then work through the improvements systematically.

How long have you been working with Shopify? +

Patrick Verhoeks has been working full-time with Shopify for over 8 years. During that time dozens of webshops have been built, migrated and optimised — from small starting stores to shops with multi-million revenue.

Are you available for small fixes? +

Yes, as long as it's Shopify. Whether you need a specific feature built, an app integration, or a page improvement — if it's Shopify, we're happy to help.
