Do you build on Shopify or custom?

Both. Shopify is right for most product businesses; fully custom Next.js storefronts make sense for unusual catalogs, subscriptions, or when platform fees outgrow the convenience. We recommend based on your numbers.

How much does an e-commerce site cost?

Quoted to scope after a free 15-minute call, with a fixed price and defined deliverables before we start. Store size, integrations, and migration needs drive the number.

Can you migrate my existing store?

Yes. Products, customers, and order history can be migrated from most platforms. We plan the migration so the store never goes dark during the switch.

Why not just use an AI store builder?

Generated stores look fine and convert poorly, because conversion lives in the details: capture placement, drop mechanics, checkout friction, product schema for AI search. The $191k store we built sold out drops in hours because every one of those details was engineered, not generated.

Do you set up shipping and payments too?

Yes. The Exotic Ripz build included the shipping backend configured end to end, plus payments, taxes, and the operational pieces most designers leave to you.

E-Commerce and Shopify

E-commerce stores built to sell, not just to exist

A store is not a catalog. Every choice, from the product grid to the checkout to the email capture, either moves a visitor toward buying or loses them. We design and build e-commerce storefronts where the numbers prove the design.

What converts in e-commerce

Conversion-first storefront design

Product pages built around the buy decision: clear pricing, urgency where it is honest, and a checkout with nothing in the way.

Email capture that actually grows the list

Discount-for-email capture placed where it converts. Our client's list grew 400% in the first month, and email is the channel you own.

Drops, restocks, and community

Product drops that sell out need countdowns, notify-me flows, and community integration (Discord, socials) wired into the store, not bolted on.

AI-search and answer-engine ready

Shoppers ask AI assistants what to buy before they ever hit Google. Product schema, clean feeds, and answer-first content (AEO) make your products citable in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Shopify or fully custom

We build on Shopify when it fits and fully custom in Next.js when it does not. The decision comes from your catalog and margins, not our preferences.
