Shopify Development
Shopify and Shopify Plus Development for UK Retailers
Custom Shopify builds, themes, apps and integrations engineered by a team that understands commerce operations — not just storefront templates.
The Challenge
When Shopify Stops Being Simple
- A theme customised so heavily that every change breaks something else
- Operations outgrowing standard apps — pricing, B2B, fulfilment, ERP
- Slow storefronts weighed down by conflicting third-party apps
- A migration to or from Shopify with revenue depending on getting it right
- Reporting and stock scattered between Shopify and back-office systems
How We Help
Shopify Services
Shopify's strength is speed and simplicity — until your requirements pass what themes and off-the-shelf apps can do. That's where engineering matters: custom apps, careful integrations and performance discipline keep the platform working as you scale.
We build and extend Shopify and Shopify Plus stores with the same architecture-led approach we bring to Magento — including headless storefronts, ERP integration and migrations executed without losing search equity or order history.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Shopify or Magento — which should we choose?
Shopify suits faster launches and simpler operations; Magento and Adobe Commerce suit complex catalogues, B2B and deep customisation. We work extensively with both, so our recommendation is based on your requirements, not our preference.
Can you build custom Shopify apps?
Yes — private and public apps, from small workflow tools to deep ERP and fulfilment integrations using Shopify's APIs and webhooks.
Can you migrate us to Shopify from another platform?
Yes — including products, customers, order history, URL redirects and SEO metadata, with a parallel-run period before cutover.
Do you offer ongoing Shopify support?
Yes — support retainers covering maintenance, app updates, performance monitoring and a continuous improvement roadmap.
