Shopify Agency Partner

« Back to Services

As a Shopify agency partner, we cover the full lifecycle of a Shopify store: initial design and theme development, app and integration selection, conversion rate optimisation, and ongoing SEO and growth support once you're live and generating traffic.

Whether you're launching your first Shopify store or migrating an existing one from WooCommerce, Magento or another platform, we handle the technical build and the commercial strategy behind it together, rather than treating design and growth as separate workstreams handled by different teams with no continuity between them.

That full-lifecycle approach matters because decisions made at the design stage — page structure, app choices, checkout flow — directly affect SEO and conversion performance later. Having one team responsible for both means those decisions get made with growth in mind from day one, not retrofitted after launch.

Why choose Flex Digital

Design and growth under one roof

The same team handles your store's design, build and ongoing SEO/CRO, so decisions are made with growth in mind from the start.

Platform migration expertise

We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento and other platforms onto Shopify, preserving SEO value throughout.

Considered app and integration selection

We recommend apps based on genuine fit for your store, not a generic "best apps" list — app bloat is one of the biggest causes of slow Shopify stores.

Conversion-focused from the start

Design and UX decisions are informed by e-commerce conversion best practice, not aesthetics alone.

Our process

1

Discovery and platform strategy

We understand your catalogue, brand and growth goals, and confirm Shopify (vs Plus, vs another platform) is the right fit.

2

Design and theme development

A custom or heavily customised theme is built around your brand and catalogue structure, not a generic template.

3

App and integration setup

We select and configure apps deliberately, balancing functionality against the performance cost every app adds.

4

Launch and CRO baseline

We establish conversion tracking and a CRO baseline at launch, so improvement can be measured from day one.

5

Ongoing SEO and growth support

Post-launch, we continue optimising for organic search visibility and conversion rate as an ongoing engagement.

What's included

  • Custom Shopify theme design and development
  • Platform migration from WooCommerce, Magento or other systems
  • App selection and integration (email, reviews, subscriptions, etc.)
  • Checkout and cart optimisation within Shopify's standard capabilities
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • Shopify SEO (technical, on-page and content)
  • Ongoing growth support post-launch
  • Performance optimisation to keep the store fast as apps and content grow

Why app choices matter more than most merchants realise

Shopify's app ecosystem is one of its biggest strengths, but also one of the most common causes of slow, bloated stores: every app adds its own JavaScript and CSS, and it's easy to accumulate a dozen apps over time, several of which are barely used but still loading on every page. We audit app usage regularly as part of ongoing engagements, removing or replacing anything adding load time without proportionate value.

We also think about app choices in terms of long-term flexibility, not just immediate functionality — favouring apps with solid API access and export capability over ones that lock your data into a proprietary format, so you're never stuck with a vendor purely because switching would mean losing historical data.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build new Shopify stores or only migrate existing ones?

Both — we handle new Shopify builds from scratch and migrations from WooCommerce, Magento and other platforms, with SEO preservation built into any migration project.

How do you decide which Shopify Plus vs standard Shopify plan we need?

It comes down to checkout customisation needs, integration complexity and order volume — we assess this honestly at the discovery stage rather than defaulting to recommending the more expensive plan.

Can you help fix a slow existing Shopify store?

Yes, this is a common engagement — usually involving an app audit, image optimisation, and theme code review to identify what's actually causing the slowdown.

Do you provide ongoing support after the store launches?

Yes, ongoing SEO, CRO and general Shopify development support is available as a retainer for stores that want continued growth work rather than a one-off build.
