Website development agencies
Agencies that build, redesign and migrate Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce stores, including themes and custom apps, and how to tell a build partner from a page decorator.
When you need this
- The store runs on a theme nobody can change without breaking something, and every campaign landing page is a workaround.
- You are moving platforms, for example WooCommerce to Shopify, and the catalogue, customer accounts and redirects all have to survive the move.
- Site speed, checkout or product page templates are holding back paid traffic and the fix is a build, not a setting.
- You need a custom app or integration, such as a feed, a subscription flow or a connection to your warehouse system.
What it costs, in general terms
Website development agencies usually quote a fixed price for a defined build or migration, a day rate for ongoing work, or a monthly retainer for support. The quote should list what is included, what counts as a change request, and who owns the code and the theme afterwards.
How to choose
- 01Ask for three live stores they built on your platform and check them on a phone: speed, product page, cart and checkout.
- 02Ask how they handle tracking, the product feed and redirects during a build or migration. A beautiful store that loses its conversion tracking on launch day costs more than it saved.
- 03Confirm you will own the theme, the code and every account, and that another developer could pick the work up.
The questions every agency is compared on are on how we grade.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a development agency or a theme?
A well-chosen theme with light customisation covers most stores under a few thousand products. An agency earns its fee when the catalogue, the checkout flow or the integrations are unusual, when you are migrating platforms, or when the current theme has been patched so many times that every change is a risk.
What should a migration plan include?
A product and customer data map, URL redirects for every indexed page, a tracking and feed check before and after launch, a content freeze window, and a rollback plan. Ask to see the plan before you sign, not after.
How does a website development agency differ from a CRO agency?
A development agency builds and changes the store itself: themes, templates, apps, migrations. A CRO agency researches and tests what to change and may hand the build to a developer. Some do both; ask which part they will do for you.
