Pricing
Fixed pricing. Defined scope. No hourly billing.
Three entry-point engagements for one-time work, plus monthly retainers for continuous improvement. Every quote returned within 1 business day — no discovery call required to get a number.
Most agencies hide pricing. We make it clear from the start.
Shugert prices fixed in USD. A Shopify Performance & Core Web Vitals audit and fix costs $1,500–$3,000 USD and runs 2–4 weeks. Shopify Development projects start at $1,500 USD; custom builds and replatforms (custom themes, Hydrogen headless, B2B on Plus, replatforms from Magento/WooCommerce/BigCommerce) start at $5,000 USD and run 4–24 weeks fixed-scope. For ongoing senior Shopify support, the Growth & Engineering retainer starts at $5,000 USD per month and the Shopify Plus engineering retainer starts at $9,000 USD per month; focused entry plans start at $1,495 USD per month for smaller, clearly defined backlogs. Every quote is delivered in writing within 48 hours — no hourly billing, no junior staff.

How we compare
Why brands choose us over the alternatives.
vs hiring in-house
No ramp-up, no salaried risk, senior team from day one.
vs open-ended agencies
Clearly scoped work, no creeping retainers, no surprise invoices.
vs freelancers
Full team, redundancy, accountable delivery — not a single point of failure.
Why our pricing works
Built so the numbers actually mean something.
01
Fixed scope
No surprises, no scope creep, no surprise invoices at month-end.
02
Focused work
Faster turnaround because we don't multi-task across 12 clients.
03
Senior execution
No handoffs, no junior layers, no learning curve on your dime.
We only take on projects where we can deliver clear, measurable impact. If we can't, we'll tell you upfront.
Pricing is usually not the real issue.
The real cost is leaving performance, conversion, and technical problems unresolved month after month.
