Elevated E-Commerce: Bespoke Shopify website design & development

No more basic Shopify websites. No more wasted hours trying to understand lines of code. No more lost sales.

Elevated E-Commerce is my signature Shopify website package, where your website is built using custom design and development of a premium Shopify theme to make things look good and, most importantly, work properly. Together, we’ll collaborate to elevate your e-commerce business to new heights through a shiny new Shopify website!

    • An e-commerce website that’s mobile responsive, easy to manage, and stands out from the crowd. Core pages include: Homepage, About page, Collections page template, Product page template, Contact page, Cart, FAQs, blog setup and policy pages set up (policies not written).

    • Website strategy document to make sure we’re designing a site that aligns with your goals and target customer, plus 2 revisions rounds.

    • Custom development of a premium Shopify theme that has been carefully chosen for you based on the website strategy and the additional features that your store requires. This includes hand-coded sections and features built using HTML, CSS and Shopify Liquid to transform the theme to feel and create a uniquely on-brand experience for your customers.

    • Email marketing integration set up so that you can grow your email list, 404 page not found page, reviews app, brand colours added to order notification emails.

    • Additional features available based on your requirements, plus your first 10 product listings uploaded for you as standard.

    • Video trainings to guide you through your new website plus 3 weeks of email support after handover

  • With Finding Design, website design and development isn’t complicated. There’s no jargon, no frustratingly long timelines, no complex processes or extended periods of silence.

    I’ve spent years perfecting a website design process that works for me and for you. I’ll guide you gently through every stage, explain everything I do, and make sure you leave with a clear understanding of the whats, whys and hows of managing your new Shopify website.

    Here’s a sneak-peek at the website design and development process:

    • After you’ve signed your contract and paid your deposit, I’ll ask you to complete the Website Questionnaire. This is your chance to share your goals, your vision, your likes, your dislikes - so that I can translate all of that into a Shopify website designed to work for your brand

    • With my web design and strategy hat on, I’ll design an interactive website mockup for you to approve and feed back on before I start the build and development stage

    • Your website will be built in Shopify, using custom development of a premium Shopify theme and bespoke design features.

    • After another round of revisions to make sure everything is perfect for you, you’ll get access to your new Shopify website, with email support and video guides provided so that you feel confident with your new site

    … and, to top it all off, every part of the website project is managed through Asana (my favourite project management tool) so that we both know what’s coming up and can keep everything on track!

  • How long it takes to design and develop your new Shopify store depends on how complex the project is, but as a guide the process usually up to 8 weeks. If you need lots of custom integrations and more website pages designed than usual, it’ll take longer - but for every project I’ll give you clear timelines and deadlines from the start.

    Looking for a quick 4 week turnaround? Check out the Core Shopify package above.

  • This is a bespoke package that will be quoted based on your exact requirements, however, you can expect this to start from £5000 (approx $6,349) based on the listed deliverables for a bespoke site.

“Danielle has been nothing short of outstanding in building the Shopify site for issoir.com, from scratch. Her quite frankly magical blend of coding skills, and eye for design make her truly stand out.”

Isobel | Founder of ISSOIR.COM

My E-Commerce services are perfect for you if…

  • you’re launching a new e-commerce brand and you want something that makes shopping with you easy and enjoyable for your customers

  • your current e-commerce website just isn’t doing the job - it’s not engaging, it doesn’t convert well, and it’s not doing your products any justice

  • you’re fed up with buying theme after theme and not being able to make it quite right for you

But they might not be quite right for you if…

  • you’re a service provider who sells just a couple of physical or digital products - check out my Squarespace website design package instead!

  • you don’t need something completely custom and want a simpler site - check out my intensive website package for a simpler website instead.

  • you want a website that blends in with your competitors and don’t want to stand out.

The process of designing & developing your custom Shopify website with Finding Design

  • Everything starts the moment you fill in an enquiry form (with as much detail as possible!). Once you’re in my inbox, I’ll review your enquiry to see if the project’s the right fit for us both. If it is (yay!) I’ll send you an email to get a Zoom chat booked in!

    After we’ve spoken, I’ll send you a custom proposal for your Shopify website, outlining how I can design and develop your new site for you, as well as details like scope, timelines and payment plans.

  • If everything looks good to you, I’ll do a little happy dance and then send you an invoice to pay your deposit. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be invited to my project management tool, Asana (where we chat, plan your website and keep everything on track) and you’ll also get a discovery workbook to complete.

    This workbook is an in-depth ‘get-to-know-you’ questionnaire where I’ll ask you to share as many details as possible about your brand, your products, your values, your ideal customers and anything else that will help me to design the website of your dreams. I’ll also ask you to send me your brand identity, website images and website copy before I get designing (but if you don’t have those bits yet, head to the FAQs!).

  • Now’s your chance to sit back, relax and enjoy life, knowing that your new website is being designed while you run your business!

    Before getting to the development stage, I’ll build an interactive mockup of what your new website could look like, which is your chance to provide feedback, suggestions and edits before I dive into developing your website in Shopify.

  • After another round of revisions to make everything perfect, your website is done! I’ll ask you to make your final payment (or the first installment of your payment plan) and then I’ll hand over the keys to your shiny new Shopify website so you can launch it to the world!

    You’ll also get lots of recorded training videos, instruction guides and 3 weeks of email support too - so that you can get to grips with your new Shopify website and feel confident in managing it yourself moving forwards.

Your Shopify DEVELOPER

Hi! I’m Danielle, website designer & developer ready to help your ecommerce business thrive!

Websites, creativity, project management, strategy - they’re all my thing.

I’ve built lots of websites over the years and I’m not done yet. I’m on a mission to help e-commerce businesses (like yours!) show up online with a bespoke website they’re proud of - without a complicated, stressful and complex design and development process. Not to boast, but working with me to design your website is easy. I can’t wait to get started!

Still have questions about Shopify website design?

Ask away! Choosing a Shopify developer to build your website can feel daunting - there are a lot of developers out there, but how do you know which one’s right for you?! I want you to feel confident that you’ve made the best decision in choosing Finding Design - so if you have any questions before you reach out for a quote, please ask!

  • Because, quite frankly, Shopify is the best option out there!

    For product-based businesses like yours, you need a website that handles product listings, inventory management, shipping logistics and everything in between - without needing to do everything manually. And that’s exactly what Shopify does.

    It’s built with e-commerce business in mind, unlike most other website platforms, so it does everything you’d expect it to do straight out of the box. Combine that foundational e-commerce specialism with bespoke design and Shopify development and you’ll have a custom e-commerce website that works for your brand in no time!

    (If you’re primarily a service-based business but you sell a few digital or physical products too, Squarespace might be a better option for you - check out my Squarespace website design services or get in touch if you want to chat through your options!)

  • All Shopify stores are based on a theme, even if they’re highly custom, bespoke stores. For most projects I will use either my exclusive base theme that I have carefully built for my clients or a premium theme from the Shopify theme store if it fits the project.

    Premium Shopify themes have been highly tested and have extra features built in that would take a considerable amount of time and therefore cost a lot to code from scratch. For example, enhanced product page features, better filters, sleek animations, in-built pop ups and so much more.

    Using my exclusive base theme or a external premium theme allows us to have the best of both worlds. It means we can highly customise the theme using extra coded elements and sections to make it feel perfectly on brand for your business. Therefore, this gives you a more flexible and affordable website compared to building every single element from scratch.

  • It is! The back end of Shopify is designed to be simple for anyone to use. It makes inventory management easy, there are plenty of apps you can use to streamline other parts of your business, and the platform itself is clear. Plus, you’ll get personalised video guides from me and there’s a lot of support available directly through Shopify too.

    Long story short, it’s very easy for you to manage your Shopify website once I’ve designed and developed it!

  • Collaboration and communication are so important in the website design process! I might be the one designing and developing your website, but it’s still your website - so it’s really important to me that you’re as happy as you possibly can be with it!

    I’ve finessed my website design process over the years into a carefully mapped out journey that keeps you in the loop at every stage and makes the most of your valuable input. Any and all feedback is always encouraged and will help to make sure you leave with a Shopify website you love.

  • I take bookings for custom Shopify design projects up to 3 months in advance. Depending on the time of the year, I get booked up pretty quickly - so if you know you want a brand new Shopify website soon, get in touch as soon as possible to get booked in!

  • Yes please! Having your website copy and brand photography ready before I start designing your website means that I’ll be able to build a website that really represents your brand and puts your key messaging front and center to increase conversions.

    If you don’t yet have your copy and photography ready, it’s fine to book your Shopify website design in advance - and I can give you guidance for resources or other businesses who can help you with copy and photography. Then, once your copy and photography is ready, we can start your Shopify website right away!

    If you have any questions about timelines, just get in touch.

  • Projects can be divided up into 4 x payments of which a 50% deposit must be made before the project start date.
