Pricing

Start with one bounded Shopify problem.

Three fixed-scope entry projects create a clear baseline, implement the responsible change and validate the result. Projects use a fixed price for the approved scope, not open-ended hourly billing. Ongoing capacity is recommended only when the work produces a real roadmap.

How pricing works

Fixed price for the approved scope—not an open hourly meter.

The written scope defines deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timing, acceptance criteria and a fixed project price. If new requirements or dependencies change the approved scope, we estimate the change and obtain approval before implementation.

Retainers reserve ongoing senior capacity and an agreed operating cadence. They are continuity models, not anonymous blocks of billable hours.

Step 1 · Start here

Three entry projects

Diagnose, implement and validate a bounded problem.

Choose the closest starting point. The written scope sets clear boundaries, deliverables and an exact price without creating another public package.

01

Performance Fix

$2,500–$4,000

Usually 2–4 weeks

For slow storefronts, weak field performance, app contention and mobile interaction problems.

  • Comparable baseline
  • Root-cause map
  • Staged implementation
  • Before/after validation
Request scope
02

CRO & Technical SEO Fix

$3,000–$5,000

Usually 2–4 weeks

For stores with qualified traffic but measurable conversion or search-system constraints.

  • Funnel or search diagnosis
  • Prioritized implementation
  • Theme-level changes
  • Measurement and validation plan
Request scope
03

Custom Build or Replatform

From $5,000

Usually 4–24 weeks

For themes, migrations, B2B, apps and integrations that require architecture and controlled release work.

  • Architecture and ownership
  • Written implementation scope
  • Staging and QA
  • Launch, rollback and handoff
Request scope

After validation

The project either closes cleanly or creates the next roadmap.

If the problem is resolved, we hand off the evidence and stop. If additional work is justified, we recommend the smallest ongoing model that fits the backlog, ownership and complexity.

Step 2 · Continue only when justified

Ongoing capacity

Operate the roadmap revealed by the work.

These are continuity models, not four additional ways to start. Starter is deliberately temporary and cannot be used to purchase a complete fixed-scope project at a lower monthly price.

01

Starter

$1,495 / month

Maximum 6 months

Temporary, limited capacity for a small Shopify backlog after the work is already understood. It is not a substitute for a fixed-scope project.

  • Shopify standard stores
  • One active workstream
  • Progressive backlog delivery
  • Monthly review

Does not include an intensive diagnostic, a complete Performance Fix, Plus engineering, migrations, redesigns, custom apps or ERP/PIM/WMS work. It ends or moves to the appropriate ongoing plan after six months.

Request scope
02

Continuous Improvement

$2,795 / month

Ongoing

Incremental delivery for one primary Shopify workstream and a prioritized backlog.

  • One primary workstream
  • Higher delivery priority
  • Monthly roadmap review
  • PULSE workflow

Excludes dedicated technical leadership, complex migrations, Plus architecture and enterprise integrations.

Request scope
03

Growth & Engineering

From $5,000 / month

3-month minimum

Senior multidisciplinary capacity for established brands improving revenue and technical operations.

  • Development, performance, CRO, SEO and analytics
  • Prioritized roadmap
  • Senior oversight
  • Capacity-based delivery
Request scope
04

Shopify Plus Engineering

From $9,000 / month

3–6 month minimum

Engineering leadership for complex Plus operations, integrations and releases.

  • Functions, checkout, B2B and Markets
  • ERP/PIM/WMS and custom apps
  • Multi-store release management
  • Ongoing architecture ownership
Request scope

How buying works

One entry decision. A written scope. A measured path forward.

  1. 01

    Choose the closest entry

    Select Performance, CRO & Technical SEO, or Custom Build. We correct the route during fit review when needed.

  2. 02

    Bound the problem

    We request only the evidence and access required to define deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timing and price.

  3. 03

    Implement and validate

    The work moves through staging, QA, controlled release and comparable before/after review.

  4. 04

    Close or continue

    The engagement ends with a handoff or a justified recommendation for the smallest ongoing model.

What the price does not promise

We do not guarantee revenue lift, rankings, a universal Core Web Vitals score or zero production risk. The written scope states what can be controlled, what must be coordinated and how the result will be reviewed.

Start with the constraint, not a long menu of services.

Share what is not working and the decision your team needs to make. We will route it to one of the three entry projects and define the responsible scope.
