A Friendly Shopify Agency for UK Small Businesses

Build it, move it, grow it and look after it, all in one place.

Looking for Shopify experts in the UK who will give you straight answers? We're an independent Shopify agency based in Spalding, Lincolnshire, helping small and growing businesses build, move, grow and look after their stores. Whether you need a brand-new store, a careful migration, Shopify SEO, monthly maintenance, a conversion review or email marketing, we handle the whole picture, so your store, your search visibility and your marketing all pull in the same direction.

One team for your store

What does a Shopify agency actually do for you?

Shopify looks after hosting, security and checkout, which is a big part of why small businesses choose it. What it can't do is decide how your store should look, how your range should be organised, which apps are worth paying for, or how customers will find you. Those choices are where most stores either thrive or quietly struggle.

Many store owners end up juggling a designer, a developer, an SEO freelancer and an email specialist, each seeing only part of the picture. As a Shopify agency, we bring those skills together: design, setup, data, apps, SEO, conversion and email. You get one plan, one point of contact and advice that considers your whole business, not just one corner of it.

Why choose us

An independent Shopify agency that keeps things honest

We're not a Shopify Partner and we don't pretend to be. We're an independent agency that works on Shopify every day: building stores, setting up apps, moving businesses onto the platform, improving SEO and reviewing stores for conversion. Our own website runs on Shopify, so we live with the platform's strengths and quirks just as you do.

Our work speaks for itself. We built a houseplant brand's store from scratch and helped it reach 7,000 ranking keywords within a year (read the case study), and moved a gifting retailer from WooCommerce to Shopify while growing its organic traffic (read the case study).

QUESTIONS

Shopify agency FAQs

Honest answers to the questions store owners ask us most.

Are you a Shopify Partner?

No. We're an independent agency and we're not part of Shopify's Partner or Experts programmes. What we do have is everyday, hands-on experience of building, migrating, optimising and maintaining Shopify stores, and our own website runs on Shopify. We'd rather show you our work and be upfront about what we can deliver than lean on a badge.

What Shopify services do you offer?

Store design and builds, migrations from other platforms, Shopify SEO and wider ecommerce SEO, monthly maintenance and app reviews, conversion and UX reviews, and email marketing setup. You can use us for one job or for all of it. Many clients start with a single project, such as a Shopify SEO audit, then stay with us for ongoing care.

How much does it cost to work with a Shopify agency?

It depends on what you need. You'll find guide prices for store builds in our ecommerce website packages and for other services on our packages and pricing page. We always give you an itemised quote first. Your Shopify plan and any paid apps are billed by Shopify and app developers separately.

Do you only work with businesses near Spalding?

No. We're based in Spalding, Lincolnshire, and we work with Shopify store owners right across the UK. Most of our ecommerce work happens remotely, with video calls, shared plans and clear updates. If you're nearby and would prefer to meet face to face, we're always happy to arrange that.

Can you take over an existing Shopify store?

Yes. We regularly pick up stores built by someone else. We start by reviewing your theme, apps, settings and content so we understand what's there, then agree what needs attention. From there we can handle fixes and updates through Shopify maintenance or take on bigger improvements.

Is Shopify the right platform for my business?

For most businesses that sell physical products online, it's a strong choice: hosting, security and checkout are handled for you. It's less of a natural fit if you mainly sell services or don't sell online at all, where a regular website is often better. We'll tell you honestly, and our web design team can help either way.

How long does a new Shopify store take?

A straightforward store with a modest range often takes a few weeks from planning to launch. Larger catalogues, custom design, migrations from another platform or lots of integrations take longer. The biggest factor is usually content: having product details, photos and policies ready makes a real difference. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote.

Will I own my Shopify store?

Yes. Your store sits in your own Shopify account, in your business's name, and you're billed by Shopify directly. We work on it using staff access you control, and you can remove that access at any time. Your domain, products, customers and content all stay yours.
