The idea
A Price You Can Read Before You Talk to Anyone
Hourly rates and call-first quotes hide the total. We publish it.
The usual ways to price Shopify work are an hourly rate and a quote after a call. An hourly rate is easy to state and hard to turn into a total, and a quote can take days. We chose a third way: each job is a named service, with a fixed price for a stated scope.
That does not mean every job costs the same. A service has three packages with different depth, a few questions that change the scope and a set of optional extras. The calculator on each service page adds them up and shows the exact total and delivery estimate before you pay.
If you want to try it, the pricing page walks you from a type of work to a category to a service and opens its calculator.
What shapes a price
Five Things That Move the Total
The service you choose
A header tweak and a full store build are different jobs. Starting prices run from $29 for the smallest tasks to several thousand dollars for whole-store work.
The package
Each service has Basic, Standard and Plus style packages. A package sets how much of the job is covered.
The scope questions
A few required questions, such as how many items or pages, change the work involved and the price.
The speed
Standard follows the quoted range. Sooner and Fastest are priced options that move you up the queue.
The extras
Optional extras begin switched off. Turn on only what you need, and each shows its own price.

In depth
Reading a Service Calculator Line by Line
Every service page has a calculator. Here is what each part means so the total never surprises you.
The package
Each service has three packages, usually Basic, Standard and Plus in style. Each lists in plain words what it includes. The package you choose sets the depth of the work and the starting price.
The required questions
A few questions change the work involved, such as how many items, pages or products are included. They are required because the answer changes what we do, and so the price.
The options
Options let you choose between ways of doing the job. A different option may change the scope and the price.
The extras
Extras are optional additions. They begin switched off and each shows its own price when you turn it on.
Delivery speed
Standard follows the delivery range on the service page. Sooner and Fastest are priced options that move you up the queue, and the calculator shows both the extra cost and the new delivery estimate.
The total
The total at the bottom adds the package, your answers, options, extras and speed into one figure in US dollars, with a deposit amount where it applies.
Using a calculator is free and creates no obligation. Change anything and the total updates instantly.
Fairness
Why Fixed Prices Are Fair to Both Sides
A fixed price asks something of us as well as of you.
We carry the risk of the estimate
If a job takes longer than expected inside the scope, the price does not change.
You see the total first
No call, no waiting for a quote and no surprise at the end.
Scope stays clear
A written scope makes it plain when a request is new work.
Time is protected
Both sides know the delivery range before starting.
No lock-in
You can stop after any job and keep the work and the notes.
Simple deposits
Only orders above $2,500 use a 50% deposit.
Compare fairly
How to Compare Our Prices With Other Quotes
Prices are only comparable when the scope is.
When you compare quotes from different providers, line up the same items. A low price that leaves out testing, revisions or a handover can cost more in the end.
- Is the scope written down, and does it name what is not included?
- Does the price include testing on phones, tablets and desktops?
- How many revision rounds are included?
- Is there a written handover?
- Is the work done in a safe copy of your theme?
- Who pays for third-party apps, and are their fees shown before you commit?
- What happens if the scope grows?
On our side, each of those answers is on the service page and in the calculator. Print or save the page if you want to compare it with another quote.

How much does a Shopify expert cost?
It depends on the job. Our fixed prices start at $29 for small tasks and rise with scope. Reported agency ranges for small Shopify fixes are about $100 to $500, with freelancers from about $25 an hour. Each of our services shows its own total.
Why are your prices fixed?
A fixed price for a stated scope means no surprise invoices. Work outside the scope is quoted before it starts.
What is the difference between the packages?
Each package covers a different depth of the same service, from a focused version to a fully checked one. The service page lists what each includes.
Can I get it done faster?
Yes. Each calculator offers Sooner and Fastest options with their own prices and delivery estimates.
Do you charge for revisions?
Two revision rounds are included in every package. More changes are quoted before we begin them.

Will I get an invoice or a receipt?
You receive an order record at checkout, and orders above $2,500 receive a balance invoice.
Are bundles cheaper?
Where several services suit one job, a quote can combine them with one timeline and one fixed price. Ask through the quote page.
Why are some services much more expensive than others?
Services differ in depth and time. A header tweak and a full store build are very different jobs, and the price follows the scope.
