Shopify Website Design & Development

Shopify is the world’s leading e-commerce platform, but to get the most out of it, you need expert customisation. We move beyond basic theme settings to build unique, high-converting Shopify stores using custom Liquid coding and app integrations.

We help you leverage Shopify’s powerful backend to manage products, payments, and shipping effortlessly while presenting a front-end that is entirely unique to your brand. Our goal is to launch a store that is ready to scale from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re not tech-savvy. Is Shopify easy for us to use ourselves?

It is, and that’s one of the main reasons we love it. We build your Shopify store so that all the day-to-day stuff is a piece of cake. You’ll be able to add new products, manage your orders, and keep an eye on performance without needing a degree in computer science. We’ll even give you the training to make sure you feel right at home with it.

What makes a Platform81 Shopify store different from a basic template?

A template is a starting point; a custom-built Shopify store from us is a finished article tailored just for you. We get right under the bonnet of your business to understand what you’re about. The result is a unique, high-performance shop that not only looks the business but is built to convert visitors into paying customers, with a seamless checkout and a design that reflects your brand perfectly.

Can you connect our Shopify store to our other business software?

You bet. We’re dab hands at getting different systems to talk to each other properly. Whether it’s your stock management software, your CRM, or your accounting package, we can integrate them with your Shopify store to save you time and cut out the faff of doing things twice.

How do you make sure the website works on mobile phones?

We build every Shopify site with a ‘mobile-first’ mindset. Most shoppers are browsing on their phones these days, so we make absolutely sure your store looks and works brilliantly on a smaller screen before we even think about the desktop version. It guarantees a cracking shopping experience for your customers, no matter where they are.

Will our new Shopify store be optimised for Google?

Without a doubt. A shiny new shop is no good if no one can find it. SEO is baked into our process from the very beginning. We build Shopify stores on solid technical foundations, making sure your product pages, site structure, and loading speeds are all up to scratch to give you the best possible start in Google’s search results.

What if we have hundreds or thousands of products?

Bring it on. We’ve got plenty of experience building Shopify stores with massive product catalogues. We’ll make sure everything is logically organised, with smart filtering and search functions so your customers can find exactly what they’re looking for without getting lost. We make managing a big inventory simple for you, too.

How much input do we get during the design process?

It’s your shop, so you’re involved every step of the way. We don’t just disappear into a dark room and emerge with a finished website. We believe in proper collaboration, with regular check-ins and opportunities for you to give your feedback on our designs. It’s a team effort to make sure the final product is spot on.

What happens after the store goes live? Do you just leave us to it?

Not a chance. We don’t just build it and bolt. After your site launches, we’re still on hand to help. We offer ongoing support and maintenance packages to keep your store running smoothly, and we can work with you on digital marketing to make sure you get a steady stream of customers coming through the door. We’re in it for the long haul.

It has been a pleasure working with the Platform81 team during our website transformation process. They have taken our rebranded assets and created a digital presence that not only showcases who we are today, but also what we aspire to be as a brand in the future too. Every aspect of the process was carefully considered and it created a great amount of peace of mind knowing our website was in safe hands. Thank you to Eve, Brad and Mark for their hard work especially.

I couldn’t recommend the Platform 81 team enough. They’ve been looking after our website for over 10 years and truly take the time to understand our business needs. Their services are constantly evolving, keeping us ahead of the competition.Callie, our account manager, is a star! She provides monthly SEO reports and a detailed breakdown of the tasks the team are working on. Our regular Teams meetings give me the chance to check in and share updates about anything new in the business.It’s great to see how the SEO reports correlate with our business turnover — we’ve recently had our busiest month to date, and the website data reflects this perfectly.
