Looking for a reliable Shopify development agency that won't abandon your project before it is complete? We have highly experienced Shopify developers, working within our own offices, ready to take the lead!
As a Shopify Partner, you can be assured we've worked on numerous Shopify projects over the years.
One of our recently launched Shopify website builds was a migration from Magento 1.x into Shopify. The client did their own research to determine Shopify was the best fit, and after we reviewed the project's requirements we agreed. This client opted to purchase a third-party theme for us to customize to their branding, rather than have our Shopify designers build out a custom theme. However, we did take the lead on migrating store data, utilizing our own Magento 1.x to Shopify data migration tools to transfer products, orders and customers. At the end of the project, we were within budget and on schedule!
Here are some of our web designers' capabilities, visible in our portfolio, within the Shopify platform:

If you're starting a new ecommerce venture, we'd love to be part of your journey! We'll walk you through all the best parts of Shopify, from its vast selection of marketplace themes and apps, to configuring your store, adding products, managing collections, fulfilling orders, and more!
The Shopify platform is great for new ecommerce websites, but before deciding on Shopify it would be wise to discuss your project's requirements and goals with our team. This isn't to say Shopify can't handle most projects, but if your functionality or data requirements are far outside the normal scope of Shopify it would be prudent to discover that now.
Our ecommerce designers are highly skilled in BigCommerce, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento, allowing us to provide an unbiased opinion on the best platform for your business.
When you start a new Shopify website build with WebCitz, you can rest assured we'll have options to help you from start to finish on your new custom ecommerce web design project!
Let's explore the two options we have for designing your new Shopify website:
Let's be honest, not every ecommerce website needs to be designed from scratch. It is perfectly acceptable to start a new Shopify web design by installing and customizing a third-party theme. Our designers would be happy to help you select a Shopify theme, install it on your website, and customize it to your branding.
For ecommerce businesses with larger budgets and expectations, our ecommerce web designers can create a custom mock up to match your every expectation. Once approved, our Shopify designers will create a custom Shopify theme just for you. This option provides faster page loads, cleaner source code, and less app conflicts.
We have ample experience migrating ecommerce businesses from Magento, BigCommerce, or WooCommerce into the Shopify platform. That said, the most challenging type of ecommerce development project is the migration of a client's existing website into a new platform.
There are numerous factors to consider, including:
These are all great questions to consider, and are often brought up by our team during the discovery process. We would enjoy the opportunity to discuss your project with you when you have time!
There is nothing better than refreshing the design of an ecommerce website! This is the perfect opportunity for you to improve the look and feel of your website, fix user experience issues, and potentially even increase your conversion rate in the process!
Let's explore the two types of Shopify redesign projects we take on:
The most cost-effective way to refresh the look and feel of your Shopify website is to swap out your theme. We can help you find a new Shopify theme, install it on your website, and configure it to match your desired look and feel.
If your budget allows, and your design expectations are high, we can create you a completely custom Shopify theme unique to your business. Although the cost is significantly higher, there are many benefits from this approach including faster page loads, improved user experience, cleaner source code, less app conflicts, and more!
We have considerable experience extending the core functionality of Shopify. As long as you can clearly explain the functionality you require, it doesn't matter how complex it is to develop. Our in-house Shopify consultants and web programming experts are ready to help you.
Here are some of the ways we've extended Shopify in the past:
We have extensive experience developing private apps for Shopify clients. In past projects, we've been asked to develop custom functionality that wasn't supported by core Shopify or existing third-party apps. The solution required our developers to connect to the Shopify API using Laravel or JavaScript frameworks to implement the required functionality.
The most common complaint we've heard from Magento merchants migrating into Shopify was the loss of Magento's product, attribute, and category management functionality. This is especially true for existing merchants trying to wrap their head around Shopify's collection system, which is a unique approach to categorization of product data.
Do you have a large product database with dependent custom options, nested configurable attributes, complex product relationships or other non-standard product data structures? If so, we might be able to help ease your transition into Shopify. We've developed a proprietary Product Information Manager (PIM) within Laravel to help new Shopify merchants regain some of the product, attribute, and category management functionality left behind in Magento.
We have extensive experience with headless ecommerce, which is the separation of the frontend and backend of an ecommerce website. This means the frontend of your website be powered by Laravel, JavaScript, or some other framework, while the ecommerce backend is powered by Shopify.
The decision to pursue a headless Shopify project should not be taken lightly. These projects typically cost upwards of $75,000 to develop, simply due to extensive amount of work involved in recreating the ecommerce functionality within your custom frontend.
Why would you even consider a headless approach to ecommerce? Here are a few reasons:
We are more than happy to help you explore the potential for a headless approach to your Shopify development project.

Before selecting a Shopify agency, be sure to ask the following questions:
You should gauge the level of knowledge and experience the developers have within the Shopify platform. We recommend you choose an agency based on the depth of experience they have manipulating the Shopify platform, not just on how many basic Shopify web designs they've built.
We want you to be happy with your Shopify website designer, regardless of the agency you choose to handle your project. Here are a few suggestions we have to help improve your Shopify experience.
If you do you due diligence before selecting a Shopify web designer, you will likely find yourself launching an ecommerce website within your anticipated timeframe and budget.

We apply our standard ecommerce website design process to all Shopify projects. Let's go through some of the basic points:
Discovery Call. The first step in the process is to have a conversation with you to determine the scope of your project, your understanding of the Shopify platform, and the unique functionality requirements you have. This will allow us to put together a detailed quote for your project.
Kick Off Call. After approving the development proposal we will schedule a kickoff call. This will help get everyone on the same page, including your project's stakeholders and our project managers, graphic designers and ecommerce developers.
Mock Up Approval. Within a few weeks of the kickoff conversation you should receive mockups for the design of your Shopify website. Don't be afraid to ask for web design changes - we value feedback and would appreciate your honest opinion during this phase of the project.
Development Process. After the mock ups are approved the design will be handed off to our build team. This is the longest phase of the Shopify build, but you will be able to follow along through your password-protected Shopify website.
Website Launch. After the Shopify build has been completed, and it has passed your inspection, we'll work with you to plan out an appropriate launch window. This is also a great opportunity to request Shopify training if you've not yet become familiar with the admin area.
