Shopify · Online Store 2.0 · Shopify POS · MigrationsShopify makes it easy to open a store. It doesn’t make it easy to stand out, rank on Google or keep the app bills under control. We design, build and fix Shopify stores for Ontario businesses, with taxes, shipping and pickup set up properly from day one, and a store you can run yourself after launch.
Free consultation: we look at your current site and Google Business Profile and tell you straight what’s worth fixing. No pitch, no obligation.
Why it’s different
Shopify is a great platform for a lot of stores, and the wrong one for some. Here’s when it usually wins.
Hosting, security, checkout and updates are handled by Shopify. If you want to be selling in weeks and not think about servers, it’s hard to beat.
Shopify POS ties your shop counter and your website together, with one set of products and inventory. Great for local retailers.
Shopify’s checkout is fast, trusted and tested on millions of stores. You get less control over it, but it converts well out of the box.
What we build
From a brand-new store to fixing one that isn’t selling, these are the Shopify projects we take on most.

What’s included
Everything you need to launch or improve a Shopify store, done by a local team that will still answer the phone after launch.
A store that looks like your brand, not a template, with clear navigation, strong product pages and a homepage that makes it obvious what you sell.
Clean product data, variants, collections built around how customers shop, and bulk imports for bigger catalogues.
Shopify Payments or the gateway you prefer, Canadian sales tax registered and configured, real shipping rates, free-shipping thresholds and local pickup.
We only add apps that earn their place. Every app adds a monthly fee and slows the store down, so we use built-in features first.
On-page SEO for products and collections, structured data, sitemaps and Google Merchant Center so your products can show in Google’s free shopping listings.
We show you and your staff how to add products, run discounts and process orders, and we’re here when something breaks or you want to add something new.
What we stick to
No matter the size of the store, these are the basics we get right before launch:
Pricing
Online stores start at $4,000 as a fixed-fee build, with products, payments, Ontario tax and shipping set up and tested. Bigger catalogues, custom features, integrations and migrations are quoted on top, itemized in writing before any work starts. E-commerce SEO is quoted separately, month to month, with no long-term contract. The free consultation includes a look at your current store or site, if you have one.
