Web Design Frequently Asked Questions

A typical Shopify ecommerce website costs between £3,500 and £12,000, depending on your requirements.

The design+code subscription is a monthly design service that includes coding (i.e. web development). There are three plan options, each providing a set amount of hours per month.

The subscription service is suited to businesses that already have a website and need regular design and development work.

I also offer standard web design and development services for projects where you would rather have a quote and set project costs.

No, I do not offer SEO services, but all the websites I build are built with SEO in mind. I believe in providing services that I know I’m good at rather than being a “jack of all trades” (and not particularly good at anything!).

I have teamed up with like-minded SEO/Marketing Consultants who are honest and trustworthy, and I can introduce you to them should you wish.

Approximately 6 to 12 weeks, including design, build, testing and data import.

Yes, but it's not something I specialise in anymore. Many web designers focus solely on WordPress development and are more up-to-speed with it than I am.

Yes.

Yes, of course! Once all invoices are paid, you can access the theme and design files. I use GitHub to store the theme files, so there is a record of all changes, which allows the theme to be rolled back if a feature breaks or something isn't quite working as expected. You will have access to the GitHub repository.

This would depend on how the theme is built. Some developers use third-party themes as a starting point and hack away at them to get the features you want, which makes these websites challenging to work with.

I need to look at the theme's code before deciding whether it’s cost-effective to continue developing or if better solutions are available.

I've worked with several ecommerce platforms such as WooCommerce and Magento in the past, but for the last few years, all of my work has been with Shopify stores. Currently, my focus is only on Shopify.

As a Shopify Partner, I can create a development store for you so you can begin setting up your products and collections whilst the theme is being designed and built.

You won’t get billed until the store is transferred into your ownership.

A development store can also be used as a staging server to mirror your live site, which helps when adding new features and testing design changes.
