Shopify expert, UK: Shopify,
without the
app pile.

An agency of one. A Shopify expert in the UK who builds the store, loads the products and hands it over, rather than a team where the person who sold it is not the person who builds it.

Yes, and the products, variants and order history all have to land intact rather than just the pages. Moving a shop is a migration with more to check than a normal site, so it is priced as one.

Shopify's own phrase for somebody who builds stores for other people. There is no exam behind it, so ask the ordinary questions instead. Here it is me, £400 a day, on your own Shopify account from the start.

Basic, at £19 a month on annual billing, for most new stores. Online card fees are 2% + 25p on Basic and fall on the higher plans, so the plan is worth another look as sales grow.

The packages adapt an existing theme, which is quicker and easier to keep up to date. A custom theme is scoped by the day.

You do. The store is set up on your account, and the theme and apps are bought in your name.

Yes: products, customers and a redirect for every old URL. It is an extra, £800, or two days.

A five page site is usually a few weeks from the written scope, and the scope gives you real dates rather than a range.

Nothing is paid when you order. Once you agree the written scope, a deposit is invoiced and paid by card, and that starts the work. The balance is invoiced when the site is finished, or paid monthly by Direct Debit over up to six months at £400 a month or more. Monthly costs nothing extra: no interest, and no VAT charged.

You get the logins and a written guide to the everyday changes. Looking after it is optional: changes are £75 an hour, or a monthly plan if there will be a lot of them.
