What we do
Design, Build and Grow Your Shopify Store
Many Manchester brands work with one agency to build the store and another to market it, then find the two do not fit together. We do both, so your Shopify website is designed from day one to rank, load fast and convert.
In practice that means the people planning your collections also know which searches they need to rank for, the designer laying out your product pages knows what your ads will promise, and the developer choosing apps knows how each one affects page speed and tracking. You get one plan, one team and one point of contact, from the first wireframe to the first month of sales after launch and beyond. It also means fewer surprises: no handover gaps, no rebuilding pages a few months later because they were never set up for SEO, and no arguments between suppliers about whose job a fix is.

Is it time?
6 Signs Your Store Needs a Rebuild or Redesign
Not every store needs a full rebuild. Sometimes a few targeted fixes are enough. These are the signs that usually mean a bigger change will pay for itself.
Slow on mobile
Pages take more than a few seconds to load on 4G, and shoppers leave before your products appear.
Too many apps
Years of added apps slow the theme, clash with each other and cost more every month than they earn.
Hard to update
Simple changes to banners, collections or landing pages need a developer every time.
Outgrown your platform
WooCommerce plugins keep breaking, Magento hosting is expensive, or you need B2B and multiple markets.
Traffic but few sales
Visitors arrive from Google and ads, but product pages do not answer questions or build trust.
Off-brand design
The store no longer matches your packaging, social content or the price point you charge.

Why a Shopify specialist
Built for Manchester's Competitive Ecommerce Scene
Greater Manchester is home to around three million people and to some of the UK’s best-known online retailers, including THG. That means your customers are used to fast, polished shopping experiences, and your store is judged against them.
A generalist web agency can build a nice-looking website. A Shopify expert builds one that is quick on mobile, structured for collection page SEO, set up with clean structured data, and ready for paid ads and email from the first day. That is the difference between a launch and a launch that sells.
If you are comparing platforms first, our guide to Shopify vs WooCommerce vs BigCommerce for SEO gives an honest view.
- Shopify and Shopify Plus only, since we work on online stores every day
- SEO and speed built in, not bolted on later
- One team from design to growth
- In SEO since 2009
