What we build

Six kinds of Shopify project we build in Columbus.

Most Columbus brands come to us for one of these. If your situation is a mix, we scope it as one project rather than splitting it into retainers.

New build

Store from scratch

A brand new Shopify store for a launching Columbus D2C brand. Structure, design, build, apps and a launch checklist.

Redesign

Existing store rebuild

Keep the catalogue and history, replace the theme and page structure with a Shopify store built to convert.

Migration

Move to Shopify

Shopify migration from WooCommerce, Wix, GoDaddy, Magento or BigCommerce. Products, customers, orders and redirects.

B2B

Wholesale & B2B

Company accounts, price lists, quantity rules and gated catalogues on Shopify B2B or Shopify Plus.

Custom

Sections & features

Custom Shopify theme sections, metaobject-driven content, bundles, configurators and swatch systems.

Speed

Performance work

App cleanup, image and script work, and theme surgery to pull Core Web Vitals back into green.

Why Columbus brands work with us

Built for the way Columbus brands actually sell.

Columbus is full of retail and consumer businesses that have been burned once by an agency arrangement they could not get out of. Here is what that means for how we build.

You own the store, the theme and the code

Full admin access, the theme files and documentation at handover. Nothing sits in our account, there is no proprietary app you have to keep paying for, and you can take the whole thing to another agency tomorrow.

Fixed price, written down first

No hourly billing to watch and no scope appearing halfway through as an extra. If something is not on the list and you need it, we quote it before we build it.

We will say when not to spend

We have turned down ad retainers for stores that needed a rebuild first, and talked clients out of scope they did not need. If the work will not move your numbers, you hear that before you pay for it.

We work your morning

Reviews, approvals and launch-day fixes land inside Eastern hours rather than turning up the next day.

What is included

Everything in the scope, written down.

No line item appears halfway through the project as an extra. If it is not on this list and you need it, we quote it before we build it.

Client reviews

What clients say after launch.

The first one is a migration off GoDaddy. Ask and we will connect you with any of them directly.

★★★★★

We came from GoDaddy with a messy catalog and were dreading the move. Everything came across, the redirects held, and we did not lose a single wholesale account in the switch.

★★★★★

B2B on Shopify is not simple and most agencies we spoke to did not really understand price lists or company accounts. This team did, and they said upfront what they would not attempt.

★★★★★

As a nonprofit our budget was fixed and we said so. They scoped to it instead of quoting up, and the donation flow works on a phone, which was the whole point.

★★★★★

The redesign and the brand identity came out of the same team, so nothing felt bolted on. Ads started a month later and we were already set up to measure them properly.

Klaviyo flows we had ignored for a year got rebuilt in a fortnight. Repeat orders are now a line on the report we actually look at.

★★★★★

I was learning ecommerce from a course and had no idea what to ask for. They walked me through each decision rather than just building what I said, which saved me from a few bad calls.

Questions

Shopify development in Columbus, answered.

Do you work with Shopify brands based in Columbus?

Yes. We work with D2C brands across Columbus and remotely across the US. Our offices are in Los Angeles and New Delhi rather than Columbus, so there is no walk-in address here, but we hold Eastern hours for calls, reviews and launch days.

How long does a Shopify build take?

Two to three weeks for most stores, from kickoff to launch. Large catalogues, B2B setups and multi-market stores take longer, and we say so in the scope before you sign.

How much does a Shopify build cost?

Every quote is flat and fixed to the scope, so there is no hourly billing to watch. Share your store or brief and we send one number with the scope attached before anything starts.

Can you migrate my store to Shopify?

Yes. We handle Shopify migrations from WooCommerce, Wix, GoDaddy, Magento and BigCommerce, including products, customers, order history and a full 301 redirect map so your Columbus search rankings hold through the move.

What happens if we want to leave after the build?

You take everything. The Shopify store is in your account, the theme and its code are yours, and the documentation and training are handed over at launch. We do not hold a store hostage with an app or an account only we can access.

Do you work with Shopify Plus?

Yes, including B2B on Plus, Markets for multi-currency selling and Shopify Flow for automation. Those projects are quoted per scope rather than from a starting price.

Do I own the theme afterwards?

Yes. The theme, the code and the store are yours. We hand over full admin access and a walkthrough so your team can edit sections without coming back to us.

Which Columbus areas do you serve?

Short North, Downtown Columbus, German Village, Grandview Heights, Easton, Dublin, Worthington and Westerville, plus remote clients across the US.
