STOREFRONTS BUILT TO SELL
Shopify stores for South African businesses, from your first product to a catalogue of 150+ products. Built to turn visitors into buyers, designed for phones first, and every part of it yours at handover.
A store you own outright
Platform, domain, and payment gateway registered in your name from day one. Ownership isn't a handover ceremony. It's how the build starts.
Store ownership, yours at handover

A pretty store that doesn't sell is just an expense
Most stores don't lose sales because of the products. They lose them in the gaps between browsing and buying.
A clunky, many-step checkout or a missing local payment option, and the sale you worked to earn evaporates in the last three clicks.
Most of your customers browse and buy on a phone. A store that only feels right on desktop is quietly turning the majority away.
Thin product pages and no search structure mean your catalogue never shows up in Google, so shoppers never reach the 'add to cart' button.
What a store built to sell actually includes
Every part earns its place by moving a shopper closer to checkout. Nothing decorative, nothing bloated. I count checkout steps. Somebody has to.
Conversion-first storefront
Every product page and checkout step is built to move shoppers toward buying, not to look pretty and stop there.
- Product pages structured to sell and to rank
- Streamlined, trust-building checkout
- Built and optimised as a Shopify Partner
Local payments & SA shipping
- South African payment gateways set up correctly
- Shipping rules and tax configured for SA
Mobile-first
Designed for the phone first, where most of your customers actually check out.
Product SEO
Semantic, structured product data so your catalogue is discoverable in search.
Clean catalogue migration
- Move from a spreadsheet, a manual list, or another platform
- Big catalogues scoped by a paid Audit first
Apps & integrations
- The right Shopify apps, not a bloated pile of them
- Integrations wired to the tools you already run on
A 200-product move should never be quoted as a guess
A first store with a handful of products gets a fixed-price build straight away. But once you're moving a large or messy catalogue, I don't guess. That work starts with a paid technical Audit: a proper look at your products, data, and integrations. You walk away with a written, prioritised plan at one fixed price. Go ahead within 30 days and 50% of the Audit fee comes off your build.

What keeps a store selling after launch?
Launch is the start of the work, not the end of it. Stores I build can carry monthly services: search upkeep, a healthy product feed (the product list Google reads), and email flows that follow up on their own. Each is quoted line by line, month to month.
- Product feed and search kept healthy as the catalogue grows
- Email marketing connected to real store events
- Month-to-month, 30 days' notice, no lock-in
Everything in writing before it starts, no hourly meters.
Which service do you actually need?
The services below are not sizes of the same thing. Each answers a different question, and the right answer depends on where your work actually comes from.
- If you win work in person and mainly need to be findable and contactable, that is a starter site.
- If the website itself has to win the work, or you need bookings and pages you can grow, that is a business website.
- If you need to run a process the business depends on, or match two sides to each other, that is custom software.
- If you cannot say yet which kind of site you need, or something already built is broken and nobody can tell you why, that is the Audit.
If you are not sure where you fit, say so and I will tell you. Selling you the wrong service costs me more than it costs you.
Common Questions
Yes. I build on Shopify as a registered Shopify Partner, making conversion-first stores for South African merchants: product and checkout flows designed to sell, local payment gateways, and SA shipping and tax set up correctly from the start.
Yes. I move your catalogue into Shopify cleanly, from a spreadsheet, a manual list, or another platform. I don't build on WooCommerce, so if you're leaving one, the migration is one-way onto Shopify. Large or messy catalogues start with a paid Audit so the migration is quoted on facts, not guesswork.
From your first product to catalogues of 150+ products (SKUs: the individual items you stock). Small, clear stores get a fixed-price build straight away. Big catalogues begin with a paid technical Audit, because guessing the price of a 200-product move is how budgets get broken.
That's the point. I set up local payment gateways, South African shipping rules and tax, and mobile-first product pages, because most of your customers will be checking out on a phone.
You do, 100%, transferred at handover once the project's settled. Your domain and Shopify subscription are registered in your name from day one. No lock-in, no hostage store.
