Do you build custom Shopify themes or use pre-made templates?

Both. We own a library of base themes and assets, and we also work with premium third-party themes when they provide a strong foundation. From there we customise with custom Liquid code, bespoke sections, and layouts built around your brand and products. Sometimes we build from scratch, sometimes a theme gives us 70% of what's needed and we build the rest on top.

Can you migrate my store to Shopify from WooCommerce or another platform?

Yes. We handle full migrations from WooCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace, BigCommerce, and Magento. That includes products, customer data, order history, URL redirects, and SEO preservation. The goal is to move you to Shopify without losing rankings, customers, or data.

Do you work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. We build on Shopify Plus for businesses that need advanced features — custom checkout, B2B wholesale portals, multi-currency, and advanced API integrations. We'll advise whether standard Shopify or Shopify Plus is the right fit based on your requirements and sales volume.

What Shopify plan do I need?

For most small to medium eCommerce businesses, the standard Shopify plan works well. If you're just starting out, Basic Shopify is fine. For larger catalogues, higher volume, or advanced reporting, Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus may be needed. We'll recommend the right plan during the discovery call.

Do you offer Shopify SEO services?

Every store we build includes SEO foundations — title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image optimisation, site speed, schema markup, and clean URL structure. For ongoing SEO beyond the initial build — content strategy, link building, keyword targeting — we offer that separately through our SEO packages.

We're based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. We work with Shopify clients across Australia — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas. All work is handled remotely with clear communication throughout.

How is your pricing structured?

We offer hourly development ($175/hr, 2 hour minimum), monthly retainers (from $249/month), and custom store builds (from $5,999). Every project is scoped and quoted before work begins. Payment is upfront — no invoicing after the fact.

What makes you different from larger Shopify agencies?

You work directly with the person building your store. No account managers, no layers, no offshore teams. We handle design, development, and SEO in one team — nothing gets lost between departments. Our retainer clients get a dedicated developer who knows their store, not a rotating roster.

You'll always pay Shopify for the platform itself. Everything else — agency retainers, app subscriptions, per-change invoices — is optional with us.

One developer. Whole-agency output.

A Shopify developer who knows conversion, design and AI is a whole agency in one person.

Developers who build with AI are unbeatable on speed — what took a team months now takes one person weeks, with cleaner, more optimised Liquid. Add real conversion knowledge and genuine taste, and you get everything a high-end Shopify agency delivers, from the one person who actually does the work.

Here's the part agencies won't tell you: the work got faster for everyone. They just keep the savings. I pass them straight on to you. Same high-end store, a fraction of the price — because I'm not paying for overhead, and I'm not here to rip you off.

I'm a Shopify Partner and I'm genuinely passionate about building stores that look as good as they sell.

Our Design Process

A simple process. Building your new store:

Discovery Call & Scoping

We start with a call to understand your business, products, customers, and goals. No generic questionnaires. You get a detailed scope document and fixed quote before any work begins.

Design Mockup

We mock up your homepage, key page templates (collection, product, about, contact), and mobile layouts. You review and approve before development starts. Nothing gets built until you're happy with the design.

Shopify Development

We build your store using clean, custom Liquid code on top of your approved design. Products, collections, payment gateways, shipping rules, tax settings, app integrations — everything configured and tested.

Testing, Revisions & SEO

Full SEO setup — metadata, schema markup, redirects (for migrations), site speed optimisation. Cross-browser and cross-device testing. We catch the problems before your customers do.

Launch

We handle DNS, domain configuration, and go-live. You get a training walkthrough so you can manage day-to-day product and content updates yourself.

Ongoing support (optional)

Your store is live but the work doesn't have to stop. Move onto a monthly retainer for bug fixes, design updates, new features, and performance monitoring. Your developer already knows your store — no re-onboarding, no handovers.

What's included in a new store build

Everything needed to get a custom Shopify store designed, built, migrated where necessary, and ready to rank from day one.

Custom Shopify Store Design & Build

We design and build fully custom Shopify stores. Not a template with your logo dropped in — a store designed around your brand, products, and how your customers actually shop. Responsive, fast, and built for conversions.

Custom Shopify Theme Development

Need something a pre-built theme can't do? We build custom themes with advanced layouts, product filtering, dynamic sections, and custom functionality that off-the-shelf themes can't deliver.

Shopify Migration

Moving from WooCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace, BigCommerce, or Magento? We handle the full migration — products, customers, order history, URL redirects, and SEO preservation. Zero lost rankings.

Shopify SEO Setup & Optimisation

Every store we build includes SEO foundations as standard — title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image optimisation, schema markup, URL structure, and site speed. Not bolted on after the fact. Built in from the first commit.

Why choose rankify?

FAQ.

Got questions? We've got answers. Here's everything you need to know about working with us.

Most custom Shopify stores take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. That includes design, development, product setup, SEO configuration, and testing. Smaller catalogues land at the shorter end; large catalogues and platform migrations sit at the longer end. You'll get a clear timeline before any work starts.

What else?

We believe that a website should be more than just a digital presence—it should be a tool that works for your business. That's why we prioritise performance, user experience in everything we create. We build websites that are fast, efficient, and easy to manage, so you can focus on what matters—running your business.
