What is here
Tools We Built for Store Owners
You do not need to hire us to use these.
The price calculators on each service page and on the pricing page work as planning tools: you can try options, see delivery estimates and compare services without ordering. The services page has a live search and filters that help you find the right job in a catalogue of 689.
The checklists let you test your own store before launch, before a busy season and for SEO and speed basics. The guides and glossary explain the decisions and the words around them.

In depth
How to Use the Calculators as Planning Tools
Every calculator on this site is free to use and creates no obligation. Here are ways to get the most from them.
A calculator shows the exact total for a service with the package, options, extras and delivery speed you choose. Because nothing is sent until you check out, you can use it to explore.
- Compare packages. Open the same service at Basic, Standard and Plus to see what each adds.
- Test delivery speed. Switch between Standard, Sooner and Fastest to see how much a faster date costs.
- Turn extras on and off. Extras begin off. Add only those that matter to your goal.
- Compare two services. Open two calculators in different tabs and compare totals for the same outcome.
- Build a shortlist. Price each job you are considering and rank them by value.
If your job does not match a listed service, the request a quote page gives you a written scope with one fixed price.
Free outside tools
Using Free Tools Without Slowing or Risking Your Store
Free tools can be very useful. A few habits keep them from causing trouble.
- Measure before and after. Test page speed before you install anything on the storefront and again afterwards.
- Prefer tools that run outside your store. A tester that runs on its own site adds nothing to your pages.
- Be careful with permissions. A tool that asks for full store access to do a simple job deserves a second look.
- Check the removal process. Uninstalling should not leave code behind in your theme.
- Note what each tool replaces. Two tools that do the same job double the weight and the cost.
- Keep a list. Write down each tool, why you use it and when you last checked it.
We do not rate or endorse outside tools on this page, because tools and terms change. We describe the categories so you can search for the right kind.
