Shopify builds shaped around how your business actually sells.
Shopify is our core platform for e-commerce because it is flexible, reliable, and easy to run. We are also a Shopify Select Partner, which means our team is trusted to deliver thoughtful Shopify work for growing brands.
We design, build and migrate Shopify stores for brands across the UK. Having launched more than 50 online stores, including projects that now generate seven-figure annual revenues, we know what makes a store easy to buy from and easy to run.
We work with everything from smaller catalogue brands to larger stores managing complex product ranges, helping them create cleaner storefronts, stronger integrations, and more efficient back-office workflows.
Every store is designed around your products and customers rather than an off-the-shelf theme, with the features that matter to conversions and day-to-day admin. Looking at online selling more broadly? See our e-commerce websites service. For practical tips on getting found, read our Shopify SEO checklist for small stores.
Built by people who sell online ourselves.
Being a Select Partner reflects the Shopify work we deliver for growing brands, from new stores and custom themes to migrations and bespoke functionality.
Shopify design, development and migrations.
From a first store to a replatform of a large catalogue, we shape Shopify around the way you sell.
Theme design that fits the brand.
We build and adapt Shopify themes so the site feels tailored rather than off-the-shelf.
Functionality that reduces app bloat.
Where the requirement makes sense, we build custom apps and functionality to replace a stack of paid add-ons.
Solutions shaped around the store.
We focus on the features that actually matter to conversions, admin efficiency, and long-term maintainability.
Move to Shopify without starting over.
We have moved stores to Shopify from platforms such as OpenCart and osCommerce, planning products, content and redirects so customers and search engines find their way.
Checkout options customers expect.
Buy now, pay later options, multiple currencies and international pricing, set up so they suit how and where you sell.
Retail and trade from one store.
Trade account applications, stockist pages, quote requests and prices shown with or without VAT for business buyers.
How a Shopify project runs.
A clear plan from the first conversation, so you know what is happening at each stage.
Plan
We look at your products, customers and current store, then agree the catalogue structure, navigation, integrations and apps the store needs. Your proposal sets out the work, pricing and timescales.
Talk to us about your storeDesign
We design the storefront around your brand and products: home page, collections, product pages and the journey to checkout, reviewed with you before development starts.
See our website design approachBuild and migrate
We develop the theme and any custom functionality, import or migrate products and content, and set up redirects from old page addresses when you are moving platform.

We test the store end to end, launch it and show your team how to run it in Shopify, then stay on hand for changes and new features.
Explore hosting and supportWe sell on Shopify every day, too.
We do not just build Shopify stores for clients. We also run our own e-commerce business, Beyond Shakers, selling more than 12,000 units a year across our own Shopify store and several marketplaces. That gives us a different perspective from many agencies, because we understand the commercial side as sellers as well as the technical side as developers.

Things brands ask us before starting a Shopify project.
Our studio is in Hixon, and we design websites for businesses in Stafford, Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Cannock, Rugeley, Stone, Uttoxeter, Leek and the West Midlands.
Why do you recommend Shopify?
Shopify is intuitive for store owners, familiar to customers, and gives us a strong foundation for custom themes, integrations and tailored functionality. Shopify looks after hosting and checkout, so you can concentrate on selling.
Can you move our existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We moved House of Mosaics from the OpenCart store we originally built to Shopify, and brought Boardwise's separate osCommerce website into its Shopify store. We plan products, content and redirects from old page addresses before launch.
Read the House of Mosaics case studyCan you improve the Shopify store we already have?
Yes. As well as new builds, we redesign existing stores, restructure catalogues and navigation, and add custom features. Tell us what is holding the store back and we will suggest where to start.
Do we need lots of paid apps?
Not always. Where it makes sense, we build custom functionality instead of stacking paid add-ons, which keeps the store leaner and can reduce monthly costs.
Do you work with Shopify brands outside Staffordshire?
Yes. Our studio is in Hixon, Staffordshire, and our Shopify clients range from Boardwise in Cannock to HD Car Care in Norwich, Clarke's Safety Mirrors in Telford and Lansinoh's store for Ireland.
What happens after the store launches?
We show your team how to manage products, orders and content in Shopify, and stay on hand for design changes, new features and questions as the business grows.
