Shopify eCommerce Development.

At blubolt, we specialise in custom Shopify eCommerce development that captures the personality of each brand we work with.

Unsurprisingly, the overall costs of a custom Shopify theme will largely depend on the complexity of the design and build. After having a quick, obligation-free chat about your Shopify Plus requirements, we can give you a ballpark starting price for our Shopify theme development and building services. From there, we can put together a detailed proposal with specific estimated costs for the entire bespoke Shopify build (see details on project proposals below). Contact us today to get the process started!

The length of time for your Shopify eCommerce development project - from discovery to launch - will greatly depend on your specific project requirements. After discussing this with you, we’ll prepare a full proposal, including timescales tailored to your project. In general, for a more complex custom Shopify theme development project, we typically estimate a 4-6 month timescale.

Join one of our complimentary and obligation-free eCommerce Replatforming Masterclasses! Available to UK retailers planning a replatforming project to Shopify Plus, we share our expertise from over 400 successful eCommerce projects and bring it all to life with an abundance of client examples. By the end of the masterclass, you’ll be ready to deliver a high-performing, head-turning eCommerce website migration!

After contacting us to discuss your Shopify eCommerce development requirements, we’ll respond with a detailed proposal covering key areas like:

• Custom Shopify development services and processes. We’ll explain what we do, how we do it, and who does it! In short, you’ll know what’s happening at every stage of your bespoke Shopify project, from discovery, design, and build to UAT and launch. We’ll also outline our post-launch Shopify optimisation and Shopify support services.

• Project inclusions. We’ll advise what services are included (like technical and design workshops, frontend build, and data migration, to name a few) as well as the specific website pages and integrations included within the project scope.

• Costs. We’ll give you a clear breakdown of proposed costs for items like the custom Shopify theme design and build, retainer-only and optimisation services, and Shopify Plus fees.

• Timings. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe for the completion of your Shopify development project.

We’ll chat through the proposal on a video call, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet the team and ask as many questions as you like! Naturally, you’ll need time to process the information afterwards, but we’re on hand for any follow-up queries you may have.

We certainly can! Our growth and optimisation packages - which form your bluprint for success with blubolt and Shopify - can be tailored to your specific needs and include:

• Growth packages. We can take over managing your existing Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus website and provide services like website development, design refreshes, and partner recommendations, as well as deliver ad hoc project work. Our thorough onboarding process means you’ll hit the ground running. We’ll organise your website code into our super-sleek blubolt folder structure, whereby each section of your code is broken down into smaller, consistently labelled folders. This becomes our pristine ‘source of truth’ so we can effectively and efficiently manage your website while keeping a clear record of changes. And, crucially, multiple blubolt developers can work on your Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus site without any confusion! Read more about our growth packages here.

• Optimisation packages. Want to unlock your Shopify Plus site's full potential with our expert CRO insights and enhancements? With our entirely in-house team, you’ll enjoy a seamless end-to-end Shopify CRO service. We offer three optimisation packages - BluGrowth (starter), BluOptimisation (advanced), and BluData (monitoring) packages. Read more details on our optimisation packages here.

Our Shopify eCommerce development team is a fully in-house service. We have flexible working arrangements, so our team of expert Shopify developers are based at home and at our fun and friendly office, located on the world-famous Queen’s Square in Bath, Somerset. Spread over several floors of a historic Georgian terrace, it’s the perfect hub for our energetic, creative, and collaborative team. Contact us to arrange a visit to discuss your Shopify Plus development needs!
