Yes. We’ve completed 50+ eCommerce migrations to Shopify. Our zero-downtime migration process preserves all product data, customer records, order history, and critically – your SEO rankings with 301 redirect mapping. We test thoroughly before any DNS switch.
Not necessarily. AI makes a measurable difference for stores with 500+ products, 1,000+ monthly visitors, or repeat purchase patterns. For small new stores, the priority is speed, UX, and conversion fundamentals – AI comes later when the data supports it. We’ll tell you honestly where you stand.
Shopify is ideal for most startups and DTC brands doing under $1M/year. Shopify Plus makes sense when you need custom checkout scripts, advanced B2B features, Shopify Flow automation, or multi-currency at scale. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after the strategy call – based on your actual needs, not on what earns us more.
Standard Shopify stores typically take 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Shopify Plus and headless Hydrogen projects run 12–20 weeks depending on complexity. We provide a written timeline with weekly milestones in every proposal.
Shopify development costs range from $5,000 for a standard custom store to $120,000+ for a full Shopify Plus enterprise build with AI features. The main cost drivers are custom functionality, number of integrations, AI features, and design complexity. Every client receives a fixed quote before we start – no surprises.
