FAQ

Should we use a Shopify theme or a custom design?

A theme is fine for a first store. A custom design pays off when the brand needs to stand out, the catalog is complex, or conversion work requires full control of the templates.

What is the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?

Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier, with more control over checkout, automation, multiple stores and B2B features. Most agencies here work on both.

How long does a Shopify store build take?

A custom store usually takes eight to sixteen weeks. Migrations from another platform add time for product data, customers and redirects.

What happens after the store launches?

Ask whether the agency offers ongoing support and conversion optimization. Most growth comes from changes made in the months after launch.
