Shopify stores built to be found
Why products named for the warehouse don’t get searched, the SEO habits we build in, and how a store build runs.
Read the video transcript
Shoppers search for a soy candle gift set. If your shop only says fragrance collection three, you don't show up.
Many second stores have a free theme, supplier descriptions, twenty apps and empty collections. We build around your products, write fresh descriptions, keep only the apps you need, and give collections real words.
Shopify SEO is five habits. Research how customers search. Put those words in titles. Write collection introductions. Keep the structure clean. Feed Google accurate product data.
Most stores launch in six to ten weeks. We audit, plan, design, build, then run real test orders.
Comparing options? A free theme tests an idea. A freelancer suits a simple store. A big agency suits a huge catalogue. We suit independent brands wanting senior help.
A designed store with products, payments and shipping starts from £2,495. There's no VAT to add.

What does a Shopify web designer actually do?
The short answer, then what a good store needs.
A Shopify web designer turns a theme into a store built around your products and customers: clear collections, product pages that answer buying questions, and a checkout set up for UK payments and delivery. The aim is simple: more visitors who add to basket and finish paying.
Shopify is a hosted platform, so the servers, security patches and checkout code are looked after for you. What it does not do is decide how your shop should be organised, what each product page needs to say, or how shipping rules and discounts should work. That planning is where most of our time goes, and it is what separates a store that sells from one that just exists.

Honest fit check
Is Shopify the right platform for your business?
An honest answer, because the wrong platform costs more later.
Shopify is the strongest choice for most businesses whose main goal is selling physical products online. Stock, variants, discounts, abandoned basket emails and sales on Google, Instagram and TikTok all live in one admin. It also scales well, so a store that starts with 30 products rarely needs rebuilding at 3,000.
- Selling physical products, gifts, food or clothing
- Selling on several channels from one stock count
- Subscriptions, bundles and gift cards
- Planning to grow the range over time
- A service business that sells one or two packages
- A brand whose growth depends on publishing lots of articles
- Makers who mostly sell through bookings
- Marketplaces with many independent sellers
In those cases a WordPress website usually gives more control for less money, and makers who sell through bookings may be happier on Squarespace or Wix.
What you get
What our Shopify store build includes
Everything a new shop needs to take its first order with confidence.
Why it matters
Why many Shopify stores never take off
We often meet owners on their second or third store. The same few problems come up every time.
A design built around your products, your photography and why customers should buy from you.
Fresh descriptions that answer size, material, delivery and returns questions before they are asked.
Only the apps you need, chosen for speed, with features built into the theme where possible.
Short, useful collection introductions that give Google something to rank.
Direct support from the person who built it, and a care plan if you want ongoing help.
Product SEO
Shopify SEO: how to add keywords and get found
The same work also helps AI assistants recommend your products.
- Research how customers searchFind the words people use for your products and collections, such as "soy candle gift set" rather than "fragrance collection 3".
- Use them where Shopify reads themProduct title, URL handle, the search engine listing fields, image alt text and the first lines of each description.
- Give collections real contentA two or three paragraph introduction on each main collection, linked to related ones.
- Keep the structure cleanSensible collection nesting and internal links, so ranking signals are not split across near-identical pages.
- Feed Google and AI shopping resultsAccurate product schema and a clean Merchant Center feed with prices, stock and reviews.
Shopify stores also appear in AI shopping answers, which lean on the same structured data. Our AI Search Optimisation work and a technical SEO review cover the parts a theme cannot fix on its own.
Fixed prices
How much does a Shopify website cost in the UK?
There are three separate costs, and only one of them is ours.
Ours starts at £2,495 for a designed store with your products loaded; extra integrations such as trade pricing, booking or stock syncing with an ERP are quoted separately, and bigger projects sit under custom development.
A monthly plan plus card fees, paid directly to Shopify. Shopify lists the rates for each plan on its UK pricing page.
Apps can quietly add up, so we keep the list short.
| Option | Typical build cost | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do it yourself with a free theme | Your time | Testing an idea with a few products | Generic look and missed set-up steps |
| Freelance Shopify web designer | Often £800 to £3,000 | Simple stores with a clear brief | Availability after launch |
| Large Shopify agency | Often £10,000 and more | Big catalogues and teams | Long timelines and junior staff |
| Renozer | From £2,495, fixed | Independent brands that want senior help | Products and photos needed early |
Comparing quotes? Our website cost guide lists what should be in every one.
Moving to Shopify from another platform
Keep your products, customers and the rankings you have already earned.
We regularly move shops from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Etsy and older hosted carts. Products, variants, images, customers and order history are imported, and every old product and category address is redirected to its new home so Google and returning customers find it. The full process is on our website redesign and migration page.
The step most often skipped is checking the move from the outside: crawling the old store before launch, comparing it with the new one after, and watching Search Console daily for the first fortnight. That is where traffic is protected or lost.

Before you sign
How to choose a Shopify web designer
Six things to check with any Shopify designer, us included, and the warning signs to walk away from. For typical prices, see the cost table above.
| What to check | Ask before you sign | A good answer |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify stores they’ve built | Can I see live Shopify stores you’ve built? | Real stores you can open and test, not just mock-ups. |
| Who does the work | Will the person I speak to build my store? | A name, and direct contact with them during and after the build. |
| Account and ownership | Will the store be on my own Shopify account? | Yes, in your name, with the designer added as a collaborator. |
| Apps and monthly costs | Which paid apps will I need, and what’ll they cost each month? | A short list with prices, written into the quote. |
| Products included | How many products do you load, and what if I’ve got more? | A number in writing, and a fixed price for any extra. |
| After launch | What support do I get, and for how long? | A set support period, then optional help at a fixed monthly price. |
Red flags
Walk away if you see these
Four of them come straight from Shopify’s and Google’s own help pages.
Our answers, in writing: the store’s on your account with us as a collaborator, up to 50 products are loaded at £2,495, and you get three rounds of design changes and 90 days of support.
- They ask for your login and password. Shopify’s collaborator accounts let a Shopify Partner work on your store with access you manage and can remove from your own admin.
- The store is opened on their account, not yours. It should be in your name from day one, on your own domain.
- A plan built on lots of apps. Shopify’s own advice is that too many apps loading on your storefront can slow it down, and uninstalling one doesn’t always remove its code.
- A move to Shopify with no redirect list. Old addresses change, and Google’s advice on site moves is to redirect each old address to its new page.
- A guaranteed top spot on Google. Google’s own advice is that no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
- A quote with no product count, no rounds of design changes and no support period. You can’t compare what isn’t written down.
Younus plans every Shopify build himself, from product data to the last test order, and stays your direct contact once the store is trading.

Client reviews
What clients say about their new websites
Copied word for word from Younus’s Upwork profile, where only a client with a closed contract can leave a review.
“This is the second website Muhammad has created for me, this time for my main photography and videography business. I gave him very little brief and he has produced a fantastic website, transferring extensive content from my previous one. The new site looks great, is fast, SEO optimised and easy to navigate. Muhammad was responsive with changes and helpful with instructions on how to make changes to the site myself. Highly recommended - will be working with him again”Read the full review
“Muhammad identified a ton of crawler errors and other problems with our website and fixed them all. Another awesome job!”
“Muhammad helped us fix a technical issue with our CMS, he was quick, professional, and reliable. I would definitely work with him again.”
