Shopify builds and custom headless storefronts tuned for speed, checkout conversion, and customers who come back.
Our ecommerce development services cover two paths: Shopify stores done properly, and custom headless storefronts for brands that have outgrown a theme. Either way the goal is the same: faster pages, a smoother checkout, and more completed orders.
From our studio in Covington, Louisiana, we build stores for merchants across the country. We will tell you honestly which path fits your business, because the right answer depends on your catalog, your margins, and where you are headed.
What's included
- Shopify & headless builds
- Custom checkout flows
- Subscriptions & payments
- Analytics & CRO
When Shopify is enough
For most stores, Shopify is the right call. The checkout is trusted, payments and taxes are handled, and the admin is easy for your team to run. The problems we usually fix are self-inflicted: bloated themes, a pile of conflicting apps, and pages that take too long to load on a phone.
We build Shopify stores with a light touch: a fast theme customized to your brand, only the apps that earn their keep, and product pages structured so search engines and shoppers both find what they need.
When custom headless wins
Some brands hit Shopify's ceiling: a unique buying flow, heavy content and storytelling around products, complex subscriptions, or performance targets a theme cannot reach. A headless build pairs a custom Next.js storefront with Shopify's proven commerce backend, so you keep reliable checkout and inventory plumbing while gaining complete control of the experience.
- Storefront speed that theme-based stores struggle to match
- Subscriptions, bundles, and custom purchase flows built your way
- Content and commerce blended without plugin workarounds
- A storefront you own, ready for whatever comes next
Checkout is where stores win or lose
Most stores do not have a traffic problem, they have a completion problem. Shoppers arrive, browse, add to cart, then leak away through slow pages and clunky checkout steps, especially on mobile. That is where we focus first.
We tune the whole path to purchase: page speed and Core Web Vitals, mobile-first product pages, express payment options, and a checkout with as few steps as your platform allows. After launch, we keep measuring and improving, because small conversion gains compound across every order.
FAQ
E-Commerce,
answered.
How much does ecommerce development cost?
Typical Shopify builds land between $10,000 and $30,000 depending on design, catalog size, and integrations. Custom headless storefronts usually land between $30,000 and $100,000 or more. We scope carefully and quote a fixed price, and we will steer you toward Shopify if custom is not worth it for your business.
How long does an ecommerce build take?
A Shopify store typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Headless builds usually run 3 to 5 months depending on complexity. Migrations from another platform add time for data transfer and redirects, which we plan so your rankings and order history survive the move.
Should I choose Shopify or a custom storefront?
Start with Shopify unless you have a concrete reason not to. If you need a standard catalog and checkout, Shopify gets you live faster and cheaper. Custom wins when your buying experience is genuinely different, or when performance and content needs exceed what themes can do. We will give you a straight recommendation either way.
Can you add subscriptions to my store?
Yes. On Shopify we implement subscriptions with proven apps and configure them around your products and billing rules. On headless builds we design fully custom subscription flows, including pauses, swaps, and member pricing, using Stripe or Shopify's subscription APIs.
