Shopify Basic Website

What You Get

This is a functional Shopify storefront, 10 pages, built on a template you choose from Shopify’s library. It’s responsive, optimized for search, and includes everything you need to start taking orders: payment gateway, shipping integration, product uploads, and analytics.

I handle the setup and customization. You pick the template, provide your content and branding, and I build it out. The site goes live in 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast we can turn around feedback and content at each stage.

What’s Included

10 pages (home, product pages, contact, etc.)
Up to 25 products uploaded
Template-based design (customization within template limits)
1 contact form using Shopify’s built-in module
Up to 8 professional stock photos from 123rf.com
Mobile-responsive across all pages
SEO-friendly structure
Google Analytics integration
Payment gateway integration
Shipping integration
Up to 2 design revisions
Technical support by phone, email, and chat during the build

How It Works

Kick-Off (What I Need From You)

Once you’re ready to start, I’ll need:

A brief description of your business and what you want the site to accomplish
A sitemap (the 10 pages you want built)
Your logo files and any brand guidelines
Content for each page (or we can write it for you at $31/page, up to 250 words)
A few reference sites you like
Your selected Shopify template (you’ll need to narrow this down from Shopify’s library)
Admin login to your Shopify dashboard (you’ll need to sign up for a Shopify plan first)

Design & Development

I start with the homepage. That takes about 4 business days. Once you approve it, I move to the inner pages. If all content and feedback come in on time, the full site is done in about 2 weeks.

Testing

Before going live, I test the site across devices and browsers. This takes up to 4 business days. After the site is published, I run a final round of testing and hand it off to you.

Timeline

2-3 weeks from start to finish, assuming timely feedback and content delivery. Delays on your end will push the timeline back.

Template Limitations

This is a template-based build. Shopify templates have built-in constraints, I can modify them, but only within what the template allows. If you need something custom that the template doesn’t support, we’ll need to scope that separately.

Add-Ons & Extras

Additional stock images: $10/image
Content writing: $31/page (up to 250 words)
Additional pages beyond 10: $20/page
Additional contact forms: $25 each
Any required Shopify apps or add-ons are your responsibility to purchase

What You’re Responsible For

Signing up for a Shopify plan and providing admin access
Selecting your template from Shopify’s library
Providing all content, logos, and branding materials
Purchasing any third-party apps or add-ons the site requires
Timely feedback at each milestone

If there are delays in getting me what I need, the project timeline extends accordingly.

Common questions.

What if I don’t have content ready?

I can write it for you at $31 per page (up to 250 words). If you need more than 250 words on a page, we’ll scope that separately.

Can I customize the template?

Yes, within the template’s limits. Shopify templates have built-in constraints. If you want something the template doesn’t support, I’ll let you know if it’s possible and what it would take to make it happen.

What if I need more than 10 pages?

Additional pages are $20 each. We can add them during the build or after launch.

Do I need to buy my own Shopify plan?

Yes. You’ll sign up for a Shopify plan and give me admin access to the dashboard. I’ll handle everything else from there.

What if I need more than 8 stock images?

Additional images are $10 each from 123rf.com.

How long does it take?

2-3 weeks from start to finish, assuming you get me content and feedback on time. Delays on your end will push the timeline back.

What happens after the site goes live?

I run a final round of testing, then hand the site off to you. You own it from there. If you need ongoing support or updates, we can talk about a maintenance plan.
