Problems We Solve

  • Your Shopify store is slow on mobile — losing London google.co.uk rankings.
  • EU customers see wrong prices and face unexpected customs charges on delivery.
  • Klarna UK or Clearpay is not set up — losing London BNPL conversion.
  • Your London Shopify theme was built without JSON templates — the team cannot edit it.

How We Work With UK Businesses

1 Book a Free Consultation

Tell us what the Shopify store has to do. We work with London businesses, reply within one business day in UK hours, and will say up front if this is not the right approach.

2 Receive a Scoped Proposal

A written proposal covering the theme, checkout flow and app stack, milestones and GBP pricing. Scope is fixed before work starts — no open-ended retainer.

3 Milestone-Based Delivery

The Shopify store arrives in reviewable stages. You approve each milestone before the next begins, so there is no large unreviewed handover at the end.

4 Launch and Post-Launch Support

We run the launch, monitor it afterwards, and hand over documentation another developer could pick up. Monthly maintenance is available, not compulsory.
