Your Questions, Answered
How long does it take to build the store?
It typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on the number of products, the complexity of the design, and how quickly you can provide branding, copy, and images.
What if I don’t have branding or product photos?
I can recommend branding services, royalty-free content banks, or assist with light photo editing for existing images, but you will need to provide high-quality product photos and a basic brand identity to start.
What if I need to upload more than 30 products?
No problem! The standard package includes uploading up to 10 products. If you need more, I offer additional product uploads at £100 per 10 extra products. I can also train you on how to upload products yourself if you plan to regularly add new items.
Can I integrate social media with my Shopify store?
Absolutely. I’ll help you connect your Shopify store to Instagram, Facebook, or other social platforms, allowing customers to shop directly through your social media profiles.
How will you optimise my store for SEO?
I’ll ensure your product pages and store are SEO-friendly by:
- Adding meta titles and descriptions for your products.
- Optimising product descriptions and image alt tags to increase visibility in search engines.
- Ensuring your Shopify store is fully responsive and mobile-friendly, which improves SEO rankings.
Will my store be mobile-friendly?
Absolutely! All Shopify themes are designed to be responsive, meaning your store will look great and function smoothly on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. This is crucial since many customers shop from their phones.
Can I manage the store myself once it's live?
Yes! After the store is launched, I’ll provide walk-through videos to walk you through the Shopify platform. You’ll learn how to:
- Add new products and update existing ones.
- Track orders and manage inventory.
- Run basic promotions and manage discount codes.
- Review customer data and analytics.
You’ll have full control of your store, but I’m always available for ongoing support if needed. Full ownership of your store will be transferred to you.
What ongoing costs should I expect after my Shopify store is live?
While I’ll handle the setup, there are a few ongoing costs that you’ll be responsible for as part of running your Shopify store:
- Shopify Subscription:
Shopify charges a monthly subscription fee to keep your store live. The basic plan starts at £15/month, but there are other plans available depending on your needs, such as Shopify’s Advanced or Plus plans. The choice of plan depends on the scale of your business and the features you require. - Third-Party Apps:
Many Shopify stores use additional apps for features like customer reviews, advanced email marketing, or loyalty programs. While Shopify has free apps available, premium apps typically come with monthly fees, which can range from £5 to £50+ per month, depending on the functionality. You do not need to install apps to have a fully functioning store. - Postage & Shipping Costs:
You’ll be responsible for paying for postage and shipping supplies when fulfilling customer orders. Shopify allows you to set up different shipping rates, but the actual shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your products. - Payment Gateway Fees:
Shopify charges a transaction fee for each sale made through a third-party payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe. This can range from 2% to 2.9% plus a small fixed fee (e.g., £0.20 per transaction). Using Shopify Payments, their own payment processor, can reduce or eliminate these fees depending on your plan. - Domain & Email Hosting:
If you don’t already have a domain, you’ll need to purchase one. Shopify sells domains, or you can purchase one from third-party providers like GoDaddy. Domain costs are typically around £10-£20 per year. Email hosting for professional email addresses (e.g., info@yourstore.com) is an additional cost, typically around £2-£5 per month.
