Shopify website
design that sells.

Our Shopify builds start at R30,000 once-off. Where a project lands above that depends on how many custom templates the design needs, the size of the catalogue and any data being migrated, and integrations such as ERP, POS or wholesale. You get a written scope and quote before any work starts. Running costs are separate and paid to the providers directly: your Shopify plan, any paid apps, and your payment gateway's transaction fees. Outside South Africa the same build starts at £3,000 in the UK and US$3,600 elsewhere.

Yes. Boost is a Shopify Partner. New stores are built on a Shopify development store and transferred to your own account at launch, and existing stores are worked on through Shopify's collaborator access, which you approve and can remove at any time. Either way, the store and everything in it is yours.

Shopify Payments isn't available to South African stores, so we connect a local gateway instead. Payfast, Yoco, Peach Payments and Ozow instant EFT are the usual choices, often alongside buy-now-pay-later options such as Payflex and PayJustNow. We pick the mix around your margins and your customers, then test real transactions end to end before launch.

Most builds go live in four to six weeks from kickoff. The biggest variable is content: product data, photography and copy. A store that arrives with those ready launches at the front of that range, and a large catalogue migration sits at the back of it.

Yes. We migrate products, collections, customers and, where the source platform allows it, order history. Every URL Google has indexed is mapped to its new address with a 301 redirect, titles and meta descriptions carry across, and we watch Search Console after launch for crawl errors so rankings and backlinks follow the store to its new home.

Shopify hosts the store, keeps checkout PCI compliant and handles security updates, so there's no server or plugin stack for you to maintain. Its app ecosystem covers loyalty, reviews, subscriptions and email, and your team can edit pages without a developer. WooCommerce still makes sense for some content-heavy sites, and we'll say so on the call if that's you.

Every store is custom. We design it around your brand, your range and how your customers buy, and our Shopify developers build it as a custom Online Store 2.0 theme, so your team can still edit every section, swap banners and add pages without a developer. No off-the-shelf template with your logo dropped in.

The foundations are. Clean collection and product URLs, unique titles and meta descriptions, structured data for products and breadcrumbs, image alt text, fast templates and a submitted sitemap are part of every build. Ranking for competitive terms takes ongoing work after launch, which is what our SEO and AI visibility service is for.

Yes. The store sits on your own Shopify account, and the theme, content, customer data, domain and every connected account belong to you. We work through Shopify's collaborator access, so you can remove us at any time.

We monitor the first orders, payments and tracking after go-live and fix anything that surfaces. From there, most clients hand the day-to-day store work to our website management team (from R7,500 a month), and many add paid media or CRO to grow the traffic and conversion rate the new store was built for.

Yes. Our Shopify experts work from Cape Town, and we build and run stores for brands across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban, as well as for brands selling into the UK, Europe and the US. Workshops and reviews happen on video calls, so where you're based doesn't change the process.
