Which Shopify option fits your budget and timeline?
Most brands come to us with one of three questions: can I launch this week, can I make my current theme look like my brand, or do I need something built from scratch? Here is how our options compare, with real starting prices.
| Option | Starting price | Timeline | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premade Shopify store | From $399 | Launch-ready in 72 hours | New sellers who want a complete, tested store fast |
| Store setup | From $399 | 48 hours | Brands with products ready that need a clean, configured store |
| Theme customization | From $149 | 2–5 days | Existing stores that need design changes or new sections |
| Speed optimization | From $199 | — | Stores with slow pages and low PageSpeed scores |
| Custom Shopify theme | From $1,499 | 3–5 weeks | Established brands that need a unique, fully branded store |
| Custom Shopify app | From $1,999 | 3–8 weeks | Features no App Store app does well |
| Care plan | From $299/month | Ongoing | Brands that want a developer on call every month |
Premade store vs store setup
A premade store is already designed and built. We adapt it to your brand and products and you can launch in about 72 hours. Store setup configures a store around your own products, payments, shipping and theme in about 48 hours. Both start at $399. Pick premade if you want a proven design without decisions; pick setup if you already know what you sell and how it should look.
Theme customization vs a custom theme
Customization works inside a theme you already own: new sections, layout fixes, brand styling. It is fast and affordable. A custom theme is designed and coded for your brand from the ground up. It costs more and takes 3–5 weeks, but every page is built around how your customers buy.
When a custom app makes sense
If you pay for several apps that each do part of the job, or no app does what you need, a custom app can replace them. We have built and published 8 apps, so we can tell you honestly whether an existing app is the cheaper answer.
