How long does it take to build a Shopify store?

Basic setup: 2-3 weeks. Custom design project: 4-6 weeks. Full redesign with data audit: 5-8 weeks. These timelines assume you provide feedback within 2-3 business days on design reviews. Delayed feedback extends the timeline directly.

Why should I choose a Shopify development agency over a freelancer?

A freelancer can install a theme and set up your store. An agency builds a system. We handle design, development, speed optimization, conversion optimization, tracking setup, and payment/shipping integration as one cohesive project. We also understand the broader marketing context (because we run ads for D2C brands too), so every design decision connects to your acquisition and conversion strategy.

Can you redesign my store without losing SEO?

Yes. We map all existing URLs, set up 301 redirects for any that change, preserve meta tags, and monitor Search Console after launch. SEO protection is a standard part of every redesign project.

What Shopify apps do you recommend?

Fewer than you think. Every app adds JavaScript and slows your store. We typically recommend: one review app (Judge.me or Loox), one upsell app (ReConvert or Selleasy), Klaviyo for email, and your shipping integration (Shiprocket). That is usually enough. We are happy to audit your current app stack and tell you which ones to keep and which to remove.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. Beyond that, we offer monthly maintenance retainers covering app updates, speed monitoring, new page creation, and minor design adjustments. You do not need a full-time developer on payroll.

Can you build a store that works well with paid ads?

This is our sweet spot. We run Meta and Google Ads for D2C brands, so we know exactly what a high-converting landing page needs. We build dedicated landing page templates for ad campaigns alongside standard store pages. The result: your ad traffic lands on pages designed to convert, not just your generic homepage.

Do you build on Shopify Plus?

We work with standard Shopify and Shopify Plus. For brands doing ₹1 Cr+/month in revenue, Shopify Plus offers checkout customization, higher API limits, and multi-store management that standard Shopify does not. We advise you on whether Plus is worth the upgrade based on your specific needs.

What makes a Shopify store convert well?

Three things: speed (under 3 seconds mobile), trust (reviews, return policy, secure payment signals), and friction removal (every unnecessary click, field, and step between landing and purchase eliminated). Design matters, but design in service of these three goals. A gorgeous store that loads in 7 seconds and hides the return policy converts worse than a clean, fast store that puts the buyer’s needs first.

Shopify Development Agency India | D2C Store Design & CRO

There are two kinds of Shopify stores.

The first kind was built by a freelancer or a cheap agency. They installed a premium theme, changed the colors, uploaded your products, connected Razorpay, and handed it over. Total cost: ₹15-30k. Total time: one week. And it looks exactly like what it cost. Generic product pages with no trust signals. A checkout flow that was designed for American buyers, not Indian ones. A homepage slider that nobody asked for but loads an extra 2 seconds of JavaScript. And a mobile experience that makes you pinch, scroll, and squint your way through the buying process.

The second kind was built with one question in mind: what happens when a customer lands on this page from a Meta Ad at 11pm on their phone? Will they trust this brand enough to buy? Will the page load fast enough that they do not leave? Will the product page answer their questions without making them hunt for information? Will the checkout make it easy to pay with UPI, card, or COD? Will they leave with one product or three?

We build the second kind.
