“People add to cart, then disappear.”
How we fix itSlow pages and a clumsy checkout lose sales. We design product, cart and checkout pages around buying, and switch on Shop Pay and PayPal so paying takes seconds.

01 Sound familiar?
Is your store making it hard to buy?
If any of these sound like your shop, they’re fixable. Here’s how we deal with each one.
02
“My store looks like every other template.”
How we fix itWe customise Dawn, Horizon or a premium theme around your brand, so the store looks like yours and not like the demo.
03
“Loading products one by one is eating my week.”
How we fix itWe load up to 50 products for you, with variants and SEO-friendly descriptions, then show you how to add the next one yourself.
04
“I don’t know which apps I actually need.”
How we fix itEvery paid app adds a monthly bill. We install only what you need, like reviews, upsells and email capture, in accounts that belong to you.
02 What you get
Everything a small brand needs to start selling
A fixed list, agreed before we start. A typical Shopify store includes all of this.

Up to 50 products loaded

Shipping and taxes
Shipping zones and US and Canada tax settings, configured for where you sell.
Email capture
Klaviyo or Shopify Email connected, so you can follow up with visitors and customers.

03 How we work
Three things we do differently
Store projects usually go wrong in three places: the design is a guess, the checkout leaks sales, and the owner doesn’t control the accounts. Here’s how we handle each one.
Design first
You approve the store design before we build
You see your homepage and product page designed for desktop and mobile before we touch the theme. Two rounds of changes are included, and we only start building once you say yes.
Homepage and product page designed first
Two rounds of changes included
Mobile layout designed, not squeezed
Built to sell
Product, cart and checkout pages built around buying
Many shoppers browse on a phone. We keep product pages fast, put the price, options and buy button where they’re easy to reach, and set up Shop Pay and PayPal so checkout takes seconds.

Shipping zones and taxes set up
Only the apps you need
Yours to keep
Your store, your accounts, your apps
The Shopify plan, every app and every sales channel are opened in your name. We hand over the logins at launch and show you how to add products, so you never depend on us to run your shop.

04 Price
A fixed price, agreed before we start
The price depends on your products and features, and it’s fixed before we build. Shopify’s own plan and apps are billed by Shopify.

Who should build your Shopify store?
An honest look at the three usual ways to get a Shopify store built. The right choice depends on your budget, your timeline and how hands-on you want to be.
| Question | Next Nova | Typical local agency | Freelancer or DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price for a small brand’s store | Fixed, $2,900–$6,500 | Varies widely; ask for a fixed quote | Varies widely; DIY costs your time |
| How the price works | Fixed quote before work starts | Fixed or hourly, depending on the agency | Often hourly, or your own hours |
| Who you talk to | A senior person, from the first call | Often an account manager | The person doing the work |
| Working hours | Overlap with the US working day | Local business hours | Depends on the person |
| Meeting in person | Video calls only | Usually possible | Sometimes |
| Design approved before build | Yes, with 2 rounds of changes | Usually | Varies |
| Who owns the site and logins | You, from day one | Usually you; check the contract | Varies; agree it before you start |
| After launch | 30 days free support, then an optional care plan | Retainer or hourly support | When they’re available |
Where we’re not the best fit
If you want to meet in person every week, or you need someone on site, a local agency is the better choice. And if you sell only a handful of products and enjoy setting things up, Shopify’s own themes can get you started without us.

09 Is it right for you?
Who Shopify is for, and who it isn’t
Shopify isn’t the right answer for every shop. Here’s how to tell before you spend a dollar.
A good fit if you…
Mainly sell products and want selling to be easy.
Want low maintenance. Shopify takes care of hosting and security.
Are moving from WooCommerce, Wix or Squarespace and want a store built for selling.
Want to sell through Google and Meta as well as your own site.
Probably not a fit if you…
Already run WordPress or need unusual custom features. WooCommerce on WordPress may fit better.
Sell services, not products. A WordPress or Squarespace site is simpler.
Need one page for an ad campaign. A landing page is faster and cheaper.
Need a marketplace or a customer portal. That’s a custom web app.

Ask on WhatsAppHow much does a Shopify store cost to build?
With us, $2,900 to $6,500 for most small brands, plus Shopify’s own plan (Basic is about $29–$39/month) and any paid apps.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify if you want selling to be easy and low-maintenance. WooCommerce if you already run WordPress or need unusual custom features.
Can you move my store to Shopify without losing SEO?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and orders, keep your URLs or redirect them, and check rankings after launch.
Will I be able to add products myself?
Yes. Training is included, and adding a product takes about two minutes once you’ve done it once.
How long does a Shopify store take?
Most stores launch in 5–8 weeks. The time goes on approving the design, loading products and testing payments, shipping and taxes. You get a launch date before we start.
Do I own the store and the apps?
Yes. The Shopify account, every app and every sales channel are in your name, and you get the logins at launch.
