01. Initial Consultation
We talk through your products, customers, current platform and sales goals, and flag anything that affects the build, such as a migration or specialist apps.
Shopify makes it easy to open an online shop, but a store that sells consistently takes more than a theme and a payment button. As a Shopify web development company Leicester retailers and product brands can work with, Nexio Digital Solutions handles the set-up, customisation and technical detail that decide whether visitors check out or drift away.
The problems we see most often are themes weighed down by apps that slow every page, product pages that leave buyers’ questions unanswered, and collections that are hard to browse on a phone. Stores moving from WooCommerce or Magento face a different risk: losing products, customer records or search visibility in the switch.
We plan each store around your catalogue, your customers and the way you fulfil orders, then configure payments, shipping, tax settings and the apps you depend on. The aim is a store that is quick, secure and simple for your own team to run from the first day of trading, with support available whenever you want to add ranges or improve performance.
From a first shop to a store that has outgrown its theme, these are the Shopify services we provide, each shaped around your products and the way your customers buy.
Full store builds configured from the ground up: products, collections, navigation, payment gateways, shipping rules and the checkout settings you need to start taking orders properly on launch day.
We adapt a lightweight Shopify theme to your brand, adjusting templates, product layouts and sections so your store looks distinctive without the cost and upkeep of a fully bespoke build.
For brands that need something more individual, we design and develop a bespoke Shopify storefront, planning product pages, collection pages and brand storytelling around how your customers shop.
Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or another platform? We transfer products, customer data and important SEO settings, keeping disruption to your trading and search visibility as low as possible.
We review page speed, product pages, navigation and the path to checkout, then make practical changes that help more visitors complete a purchase and come back to buy again.
We connect the apps your store depends on, including email marketing, reviews, subscriptions, loyalty, live chat, accounting and shipping, and provide ongoing Shopify support and maintenance after launch.
Our team has built and customised Shopify stores for businesses in a range of sectors, and understands both the platform's technical limits and the commercial pressures of running a shop.
Your store is shaped by what you sell. Product variants, subscriptions and delivery options all change how pages and checkout should work, so we plan around them from the start.
We judge decisions by what they do for sales and margin, from which apps are worth their monthly fee to where a product page needs clearer information.
Clean collection and product URLs, structured headings, optimised images and careful migration of existing SEO settings help your products stay visible in search results.
You'll get straight answers on what Shopify can and can't do out of the box, what needs an app, and what each option means for cost and upkeep.
After launch we keep supporting your store with maintenance, app updates, theme changes and ongoing optimisation as your range, traffic and customer base grow.
Leicester has a long tradition of making and selling things, from textiles and clothing to food, drink and homeware, and many of those businesses now trade online alongside, or instead of, a physical shop.
Selling online puts you up against national brands as well as other local sellers, so the store itself has to work harder. As a Shopify website design company Leicester sellers can turn to for both the design and the build, we focus on clear product presentation, easy navigation and a checkout that customers feel comfortable using.
Before you commit to any of the Shopify website developers Leicester search results turn up, we’d be glad to review your current store or your plans and suggest a practical next step. The first conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
We set up shipping rates and delivery options to suit how you fulfil orders, including local collection for Leicester customers if you offer it.
Local businesses outgrowing WooCommerce or Magento can move to Shopify with products, customer data and SEO settings carried across carefully.
Many customers find and buy on their phones, so every collection, product page and checkout step is built and tested for small screens first.
Need a new app, a seasonal promotion or a theme tweak? We stay on hand after launch so your store keeps pace with your trading calendar.
Tell us what you sell, where you sell it now and what’s holding your store back. We’ll recommend a sensible Shopify approach and send you a clear quote.
Beyond opening the store, we handle theme customisation or bespoke design, product imports, payment and shipping configuration, app integrations, migrations from other platforms and ongoing optimisation. Many owners can launch a basic Shopify shop themselves; the value of development support is a store that loads quickly, looks professional and is set up to convert the visitors you’ve worked hard to attract.
It depends on your range, budget and plans. A lightweight theme, customised to your brand, suits many businesses and keeps costs and maintenance down. A bespoke build makes sense when your products or customer journey need something a theme can’t handle well. We’ll recommend an option once we understand your requirements, with performance and usability as the priority.
Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento and other platforms, transferring products, customer information and important SEO settings. We plan the move carefully to keep disruption to a minimum, check that old URLs lead to the right new pages, and test the store thoroughly before it goes live.
Yes. Some Shopify website designers Leicester businesses speak to only produce visuals, leaving the build to someone else. We handle design and development in one team, so the look of your store, the way it works and its performance are planned together rather than pieced together later.
Cost depends on whether you need a customised theme or a bespoke design, how many products need importing, any migration work and which apps or integrations are involved. We quote each project individually after a free consultation, so you’ll know what’s included before anything starts. Remember to allow for Shopify’s own subscription and any paid apps too.
Yes. We configure payment gateways, shipping options, tax settings and the other essentials your store needs to trade properly. We’ll also connect the apps you rely on, such as email marketing, reviews, accounting software or shipping providers, so orders move through your business with less manual work.
Yes. We provide ongoing support, maintenance and optimisation, from theme changes and new apps to performance reviews and improvements to product pages. That means you have a Shopify team to call on when you add ranges, run promotions or notice something in the store isn’t working as it should.
Send us a short brief and we’ll come back within one business day with a clear next step — no high-pressure sales.
