Your Website Should reflect your business.
Websites made to move businesses forward
A selection of websites designed and built with care for ambitious businesses.
A better website is only the beginning.
Your website needs to make the right first impression, help customers find what they need and make the next step straightforward.
Behind the scenes, it needs organised information, dependable workflows and useful measurement. We bring those pieces together so your Shopify website supports the way your business actually operates.
Improve an existing Shopify website
Resolve the friction holding your website back: confusing navigation, weak pages, slow templates, unnecessary apps or an unclear route to purchase, booking or enquiry.
Move to Shopify
Replace a restrictive platform with a carefully scoped Shopify build, supported by data checks, URL mapping, redirect testing and a planned launch.
Shopify services
Shopify design and development, connected from end to end.
Every build starts with a clear scope. We identify what your customers need, what your team needs to manage and which parts of the platform should do the work.
The result is a practical development plan with defined deliverables.
Shopify website design
Distinctive websites shaped around your brand, audience and customer journey. We plan the homepage and key page templates together, with mobile layouts, clear navigation and a consistent visual system. For ecommerce, that includes collection and product pages. For service businesses, it includes service information, credibility and the route to enquiry.
Theme development and customisation
Adapt the right Shopify theme or develop custom sections where the brief needs them. Reusable components give your team control over day-to-day content while keeping layouts consistent across the website.
Product and collection structure
Organise products, variants, collections and supporting information so customers can browse with confidence. Filtering, size guides, specifications and product content are planned around the questions that matter before a purchase.
Shopify migrations and rebuilds
Plan moves from WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, Squarespace or a bespoke platform. We assess exportable data, map the destination structure and agree how products, customers, content and important URLs will be handled.
Apps, integrations and workflows
Connect the tools your business needs, from email and CRM to stock, fulfilment and reporting. We review compatibility, recurring costs and responsibility for each workflow before adding complexity to your website.
Conversion and performance improvements
Improve the details that make taking action easier: product discovery, useful information, mobile interaction and the route to checkout or enquiry. We review theme behaviour, image delivery and third-party scripts alongside customer behaviour.
Service websites and booking journeys
Build clear service pages, location content and enquiry journeys for businesses that sell expertise. Booking and appointment tools can be integrated where appropriate, with the scope defined around your customer journey and existing systems.
Marketplace development
Develop a Shopify-based marketplace around seller onboarding, catalogue control, commissions, order routing and payouts. Multi-vendor functionality requires suitable apps or custom development. Platform suitability and operational responsibilities are established before the build.
Wholesale and B2B ecommerce
Scope trade ordering, customer accounts, catalogue access and pricing requirements. The implementation depends on your Shopify plan and trading model. Those decisions are settled before development begins.
Training and ongoing development
Prepare your team to manage the agreed website features, products and content. After launch, support and improvement work can cover new collections, merchandising, technical changes and the next commercial priority.
Your physical shop. A much bigger shop window.
Bring the strengths of your shop online: the product knowledge, the carefully chosen range and the reasons customers already trust you.
We translate them into an ecommerce experience that is easy to browse and practical to operate.
The work goes beyond uploading products. We plan how stock is represented, how orders reach your team and how customers choose delivery or collection.
Where Shopify POS is appropriate, we assess the setup needed to connect in-person and online selling.
A catalogue built around how customers shop.
- Product information that answers pre-purchase questions.
- Delivery and collection journeys matched to your operation.
- Stock and order workflows with clear responsibilities.
- A store your team can confidently maintain.
POS features, hardware, integrations and subscription requirements are assessed for your particular setup.
Website performance
Performance you can inspect.
A fast homepage is not enough. Customers move through collections, product pages, service information, search and checkout, often on mobile connections. We assess representative journeys and prioritise friction that affects real visitors.
Loading and responsiveness
Review Core Web Vitals, page templates, image sizes and scripts. Compare controlled test results with real-user data to evaluate improvements in context.
Customer journeys and conversion
Check navigation, filters, product information, enquiry routes and purchase steps. Use the agreed analytics setup to identify drop-offs and prioritise improvements.
Reliable measurement
Define meaningful events, validate key journeys and check for duplicate purchase reporting. Use Shopify reporting and agreed analytics tools to guide website and marketing decisions.
Performance is assessed against your starting point and agreed priorities. A score in one test is not a guarantee of speed on every device or a promise of sales.
Search-ready website foundations
Build a website customers can find—and understand.
Shopify SEO starts with the structure of the website. We plan useful collection pages, informative product and service content, and clear internal links alongside the design. Search visibility is considered while the website is being built.
SEO: clear technical foundations
Map relevant search intent to the right page. Review titles, descriptions, headings, crawlability, canonical signals, redirects and relevant structured data. Keep core information available as page text and make important products, services and collections easy to reach.
AEO: answer the questions that influence decisions
Explain suitability, specifications, sizing, use, delivery and returns where shoppers need that information. For service businesses, explain the service, the process, who it helps and how to get started. Concise answers, useful comparisons and well-organised FAQs reduce ambiguity and make content easier to interpret.
GSO: useful context for AI search
Generative search optimisation focuses on making your business, services, products and expertise clear. Consistent business details, original guidance, well-supported claims and accessible content give search systems better material to work with.
No agency can guarantee a Google ranking or inclusion in an AI-generated answer. Our focus is the quality, accessibility and credibility of the information you publish.
Connected commerce
Build the infrastructure behind the sale
Your website sits between customer demand and day-to-day delivery. We map what should happen when a visitor enquires, books, places an order or returns to buy again, then scope the connections that support those actions.
Acquisition
Google and Meta campaign destinations, product feeds where relevant, and a coherent journey from advert to the right product or service page.
Retention
Klaviyo or an agreed email platform, useful customer segments and relevant follow-up flows.
Operations
Stock, fulfilment, customer service and CRM connections selected around your existing processes.
Measurement
Shopify reporting, GA4 and campaign measurement scoped to your objectives and consent requirements.
Platform eligibility, available integrations and third-party fees are reviewed during discovery.
Move platforms with a plan for what matters
A Shopify migration is a data, content and customer-experience project. Before moving anything, we establish what must be retained, what should improve and what the source platform will actually let us export.
| Workstream | What the plan covers |
|---|---|
| Products and catalogue | Review variants, images, collections and required fields. Check imported records against the source. |
| Customers and order history | Confirm export and import options, field compatibility and the limits of the chosen migration method. |
| Search visibility | Map important URLs to appropriate destinations, implement redirects and test priority links after launch. |
| Apps and business processes | Identify subscriptions, integrations and operational dependencies that need a separate transition plan. |
| Launch and monitoring | Agree the cutover, check key journeys and monitor indexing, broken links and the website’s first live activity. |
Migration work aims to reduce avoidable disruption. Search rankings can fluctuate, and some data or features may need rebuilding rather than direct transfer.
Our process
A clear route from brief to launch
A considered, collaborative process that keeps decisions clear, priorities focused and your team ready for launch.
Understand the business
We review your website, customers, services and operational needs, then define the commercial objectives the build must support.
Define the scope
We agree templates, catalogue requirements, integrations, responsibilities and launch priorities, confirming costs and dependencies before production.
Design the experience
We establish the visual direction and key customer journeys, then review priority pages before applying the design across the site.
Build and validate
We develop the agreed Shopify setup, add planned content and test responsive layouts, forms, ordering and connected workflows.
Launch and hand over
We complete launch checks, support the agreed transition and show your team how to manage the website, with clear priorities for what comes next.
Shopify website projects
A defined scope. A considered investment.
The cost of a Shopify website depends on what the business needs: the depth of design, number of templates, product data, migration work and integrations.
We scope those requirements before providing a proposal, so the build and the ongoing platform costs are clear.
- Website design and development fee
- Shopify subscription
- Paid theme or app licences
- Third-party work
- Support and ongoing development arrangements
A realistic launch schedule depends on the agreed scope, access to systems, content readiness and review times.
Shopify development FAQs
Straightforward answers about Shopify design, development, migration and ongoing support.
Yes. Brand Depot is listed in Shopify’s official Partner Directory as a service partner based in Kildare, Ireland, active since January 2024. You can verify the listing using the Partner Directory link on this page.
The agreed scope can include discovery, website design, theme development, product and collection setup, integrations, SEO foundations, testing and handover. Migration, content production and ongoing support are scoped around the project rather than assumed to be included in every build.
There is no single price for a properly scoped Shopify build. The main variables are design requirements, catalogue complexity, migration and integrations. Brand Depot provides a project-specific proposal and separates development costs from Shopify subscriptions, paid apps and other recurring services.
The schedule depends on the website’s scope, content readiness, data quality and integration requirements. A focused launch and a complex migration need different plans. We agree milestones and responsibilities after discovery, including the work needed from your team.
Yes. We can assess whether targeted changes to the theme, navigation, product pages, apps or tracking will address the problem. A full rebuild is recommended when the existing setup creates constraints that smaller changes cannot sensibly resolve.
Yes, subject to an assessment of the source website and exportable data. We map the catalogue, content, important URLs and operational dependencies before agreeing the migration method. Data or functionality that cannot be transferred directly is identified and scoped separately.
It can. Changes to URLs, content and templates may affect search visibility. URL mapping, relevant redirects, content checks and post-launch monitoring help reduce avoidable losses, but no migration can guarantee that rankings will remain unchanged.
Shopify can support online and in-person selling, with inventory managed through Shopify and compatible POS workflows. We review locations, hardware, delivery, collection and staff processes to establish the appropriate setup and any additional subscription or integration requirements.
Yes, where the platform fits the requirements. Service websites can combine clear information with enquiry or booking integrations. A multi-vendor marketplace needs additional software and careful planning for seller accounts, catalogue control, orders, commissions and payouts. These are not all standard Shopify features.
Yes. We scope trade accounts, catalogue access, pricing and ordering requirements around your business. Shopify B2B capabilities vary by plan, so we confirm feature availability and any additional integration needs before recommending an approach.
We scope search foundations alongside the website structure. SEO covers discoverability and technical implementation. AEO focuses on clear answers to customer questions. GSO concerns useful, credible content for generative search. Ongoing content, authority building and optimisation are agreed separately.
No. Search rankings and AI-generated recommendations are controlled by the platforms. We improve the clarity, accessibility and credibility of your content and monitor the available evidence, but do not promise a particular placement or citation.
We can scope relevant campaign, feed, email and reporting integrations. The setup depends on your accounts, permissions, platform eligibility and business needs. Key journeys and measurement should be checked before campaign activity begins.
Yes. We plan reusable sections and a manageable content structure around the agreed brief, then provide handover guidance for the features your team will use. More substantial design or integration changes may still require development support.
Yes. Ongoing maintenance, development and growth work can be arranged around your priorities. The scope, response arrangements and fees are set out in the proposal, so the level of support is clear.
Yes. Brand Depot is based in Naas and works with businesses throughout Ireland.
