Which Platform Should We Be On?
For most catalogues Shopify is the fastest path and the cheapest to operate. WooCommerce makes sense when the store sits inside a larger content site or needs unusual logic, and a custom build is worth it only at real scale or with genuinely unusual requirements. We recommend against a migration as often as for one.
Can You Migrate Our Store Without Losing Rankings?
Yes, and it is mostly a matter of discipline rather than luck. Full URL mapping with 301 redirects, preserved category structure, product data validated before launch and monitoring through the reindex period. Traffic dips on migrations happen when redirects are treated as a launch-day afterthought.
How Long Does A New Store Take To Build?
It depends on catalogue size and integrations, not on a fixed agency calendar. A small, focused store can be live in as little as 48 hours. Most builds land in the one to two week range, and large catalogues with ERP or inventory integrations take longer. You get a firm schedule before anything starts.
Do You Charge A Percentage Of Ad Spend?
No. Management is a flat monthly fee agreed up front, so raising budget never automatically raises our invoice. Percentage-of-spend pricing quietly rewards an agency for spending more of your money, which is the wrong incentive on a margin-sensitive catalogue.
Do You Shoot Product Photography?
Yes, in-house. Clean studio shots, detail and scale images, on-model or lifestyle content and short-form video for ads. On a product page, imagery usually moves conversion further than another copy revision, so it is treated as part of the build.
How Do You Fix Cart Abandonment?
First by removing the causes: slow mobile pages, forced account creation and shipping costs that only appear at the final step. Then by recovering what still leaks, with abandoned-cart email and retargeting sequences. The order matters, because recovery flows cannot fix a checkout that is the problem.
We Have A Physical Store Too. Does That Change Things?
It changes the plan for the better. The storefront needs an optimized Google Business Profile, current photos and local search work so nearby shoppers and visitors find the door, while the catalogue needs category SEO and feed-driven campaigns. We run both as one plan instead of two competing budgets.
What Does It Cost?
It depends on catalogue size, how much product photography the calendar needs, and whether paid campaigns and SEO run alongside the build. Everything is quoted up front as one figure with implementation included, and the store, imagery, product data and ad accounts stay in your name.
