Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015, Including Plenty of First Stores
A first store has different needs from a mature one: few products, a mobile audience, a single link to share and a budget that cannot absorb mistakes. We have built enough of them to know which pieces matter on day one and which can wait.

Who this is for
Made for Creators and First-Time Sellers Who Want to Start Small
You do not need a forty-page store to make your first sales. You need a clean page, a handful of products and a link people can trust. These are the sellers who get the most from a starter build.
You are a good fit if
- You have between 1 and 30 products
- Your shoppers mostly arrive from a phone
- You want a branded look, not a bare template
- You prefer a fixed price to learning every setting
Creators with an audience
You already have followers and a product, a print, a course companion or merchandise. A bio link that goes straight to a branded store turns attention into orders without sending people to a cluttered homepage.
Beginners who want to set up Shopify store for beginners the easy way
You have never touched Shopify settings and do not want to learn taxes, shipping zones and themes in a weekend. We make the choices, explain them in a recorded walkthrough and leave you with a store you understand.
Makers testing one product
You are selling candles, prints, jewelry or snacks in small batches. A tight store with one or two hero items shows what works before you invest in a bigger build.
Local and event sellers
Market stalls, pop-ups and workshops all end with the same question: where can I order more? A QR code pointing to a tidy mobile store answers it.
Sellers outgrowing a link tool
Your current link page is a list of buttons with a thin shop attached. You want product pages, proper checkout and your own branding, with the link still as simple to share.
Owners planning to scale later
You expect to grow into a full store and want the first version built on clean foundations, so that upgrading later means adding, not rebuilding.
Problems solved
Why Sell Products on Instagram With Shopify Often Stalls at the Bio Link
Followers tap a bio link with very little patience. If the page behind it is slow, confusing or untrustworthy, they leave before the first product. These are the leaks we close.
The problem
The bio link opens a slow page that makes followers give up.
The outcome
We keep the link page light, compress images and avoid heavy scripts, so the first screen appears quickly even on mobile data.
The problem
A list of identical buttons gives no clue which product to look at first.
The outcome
We lead with one clear offer, then show best sellers as large tappable cards, so a follower knows where to start.
The problem
A new store looks too small to trust with a card number.
The outcome
Shipping times, returns, a contact route and payment cues sit next to the buy button, which is where a stranger looks for reassurance.
The problem
Links go to a store homepage and not to the product the post was about.
The outcome
We prepare direct product and collection links for each bio, story and post, so the click lands exactly where the shopper expects.
The problem
Link tools are bolted on and can disappear or change their fees.
The outcome
We build the link page inside your store, so it does not depend on a single outside tool surviving unchanged.
The problem
Nobody can tell whether the store is working until a real customer buys.
The outcome
We run a complete test order, from tapping the bio link to receiving the confirmation email, and fix whatever breaks.
What we can do
What Our Shopify Starter Store Design Can Do for a New Brand
A starter build still touches design, selling channels and settings. These are the six jobs we do for you, with the details that usually trip up first-time sellers.
Shopify link in bio page built for thumbs
A single scrolling page with your photo, a short promise, your best products and links to the rest of your world, designed on a phone first and checked on small screens.
Brand look from your own assets
We pick fonts, colors and image styling from your logo and photos, or propose a direction if you have none, so the store looks like you rather than a default theme.
Instagram Shopify store setup and shop connections
We connect the sales channels you plan to use, prepare product tags for posts and stories, and check that products sync with the right prices and images.
Payments, shipping and tax basics
We set up payment methods, a simple shipping structure and the tax settings that apply to a small seller, then explain each choice in plain language.
Trust pages written for a small brand
Shipping, returns, privacy and contact pages are drafted to say what is true for your business, in a friendly tone rather than copied legal boilerplate.
Tracking you can read
Link tags let you see which bio, story or post sends buyers, and a simple dashboard summary tells you what to look at in your first weeks.

Shopify Starter Store Setup: Process and Timeline
From first chat to handover in six steps, with decisions explained as we go. Link Page projects finish in 2 to 4 working days, while larger builds follow the ranges in the calculator.
- 1
Short brief
You tell us what you sell, who follows you, which platforms you use and a few pages you like. We confirm the package and what sits in it before any design begins.
- 2
Look and layout
We set colors, type, photo style and the order of the link page, and share the direction for your approval before building.
- 3
Build
We create the link page and the store behind it, add your products and connect the pages, working in a copy so nothing goes public early.
- 4
Connect channels
We prepare bio links, tagged product links and channel connections for Instagram, TikTok or whatever you use, and check each one.
- 5
Test
We place a test order from the bio link, on a phone, and check emails, shipping options, speed and every button.
- 6
Review and handover
You review the store on your own phone, request up to two rounds of changes and receive a recorded walkthrough with a short guide.
Compare your options
Link Tool, DIY Starter Plan, Gig Seller or a Done-For-You Starter Store?
New sellers usually pick one of four routes for their first storefront. They differ in how much you build yourself, how branded the result feels and who helps when something breaks.
| What matters | Link tool only | DIY Starter plan | Gig seller | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Branded to your look | Basic | Limited | Varies | Yes |
| Shoppable link page built for you | You build | You build | Varies | Yes |

Inside every project
What Protects a First Store and a First Budget
When a store is small, every mistake is a larger share of the whole. These are the safeguards we apply to every starter build.
Real phone testing
We open the store on iPhone and Android widths, tap every button, add to cart and pay with a test order, so the first customer is not the tester.
Safe access
We work through collaborator access, or in our own Partner account with a transfer to you at the end, so you never share your owner password.
Honest plan advice
We tell you which Shopify plan fits your goals today and what changes if you upgrade, and you pick and pay for the plan yourself, directly with Shopify.
A guide you will use
The recorded walkthrough shows how to add a product, change a link, read an order and edit the link page, so you can run day-to-day work.
Policies that tell the truth
Shipping and returns pages state what you actually do. Overpromising delivery is the quickest way to earn a refund request, so we keep promises modest.
Fixed scope, two revisions
You see the price before you pay and the scope is written down. Two rounds of changes are included, so the finished store matches what you pictured.

Why Store Design Expert
Shopify Store Builder Service Quality With Starter-Friendly Pricing
Small budgets do not have to mean rough work. Here is what you get when a team that has launched hundreds of stores builds your first one.
Shopify only, since 2015
Over 450 stores launched means we have seen the first-store problems before: missing policies, slow image uploads and checkout settings left in test mode.
Hire someone to build my Shopify store, without the guesswork
You talk to the people doing the work, get a fixed price and a clear end date, and know exactly what you will hold at handover.
Design that feels premium
Spacing, type and photography are tuned so a small store reads as a real brand. Details such as consistent image ratios and clear buttons carry that feeling.
Phone-first thinking
Most of your visitors tap through from a social app. We design for that thumb-sized world first and check the desktop view second.
Growth built in
Clean theme code, tagged links and tidy product data mean that adding products, a domain or a full plan later is a small job rather than a rebuild.
You own everything
Store, content and access belong to you. Stores built in our Partner account are transferred to you at the end.
What we need to get started
What We Need to Start Your Starter Store
You do not need a finished brand or a perfect product list. We need a way into Shopify, a few photos and a sense of who you sell to.
Collaborator request
If you already have a Shopify account, send the store address and accept our collaborator request. You stay the owner, and you can remove us whenever you like.
No account yet? We start one for you
We can build the store in our Shopify Partner account and then transfer ownership to you when it is ready, so you only choose a plan at the very end.
Staff login as an alternative
If you would rather create a staff account for us, that works too. Collaborator access is easier to withdraw, but the choice is yours.
Logo, photos and taste
Send what you have: a logo, product photos, colors you like and a few profiles you admire. With nothing at all, tell us your niche and we propose a look.
Your profiles and links
Share the Instagram, TikTok or other profiles you want to link, and tell us where the bio link will live.
Products and rules
Send names, prices and a line about each product, plus your shipping times and return rules, so the pages say what is true.
Keep your owner password and card details to yourself, because we do not need them. The build lives in a working copy or in our Partner account and ends with a written handover.

FAQ
Shopify Starter Store FAQs
Answers about prices, plans, social links, timing and what you keep after launch.
What is the cost to start a Shopify store with your design service?
Design packages start at $290 for a Link Page, $590 for a Starter Store and $1,090 for Starter Plus. Product count, design depth and channels are added in the calculator, so most builds land between $300 and $1,500. Shopify's own plan fee is paid to Shopify separately.
What makes a good Shopify starter store design?
A good starter store has one clear offer, a handful of strong products, fast mobile pages and trust cues beside the buy button. It avoids long menus and ten apps. We design for the shopper who arrives from a social post and decides in seconds.
Can I hire someone to build my Shopify store, or only the link page?
Both. The Link Page package builds a shoppable bio page with a few products and a tested checkout. Starter Store and Starter Plus build the full branded store behind it, with policies, channel setup and handover documents.
What does Shopify starter plan include, and what does it leave out?
Shopify describes Starter as a low-cost plan for selling through links and social. Reviews note limits such as no custom domain and a restricted storefront. Plans change, so check Shopify's current page; we explain which plan fits your goals.
Shopify starter plan vs basic: which should I choose?
Choose Starter if you only sell through links and chats and want the lowest monthly cost. Choose a full plan such as Basic when you want a branded storefront, your own domain, discount codes and more control. We advise on this before you commit.
Is Shopify Starter worth it for a new creator?
It can be, if you have an audience and a few products and want to test demand cheaply. It becomes limiting when you need a branded store, discounts or a custom domain. Many creators start there and move up once sales justify it.
How to put Shopify link in Instagram bio so followers can buy?
Copy a direct link to your link page or store, paste it in the website field of your Instagram profile and use the same link in stories. We prepare tagged versions, so you can see which post sent each order.
How to add Shopify link to TikTok bio?
Open your TikTok profile settings, paste your store or link page address into the website field and save. Some accounts need a business profile or follower threshold for a link. We prepare the link and test it on a phone.
How to link Shopify store to Instagram for tagging products?
Connect the Instagram or Facebook sales channel from the Shopify admin, confirm your business account and submit the catalog for review. Approval is up to the platform. We configure the connection and check that products sync correctly.
Can you set up Shopify store for beginners who have never sold online?
Yes. That is the most common starter project. We make the technical choices, explain each in the recorded walkthrough and leave you with a short guide covering products, orders, links and what to check each week.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes on a full Shopify plan. We connect and secure your domain, or help you choose one, and set redirects if you already had a web address. Starter-plan limits on domains can change, so confirm them on Shopify's plan page.
How long does a starter build take?
Link Page takes 2 to 4 working days, Starter Store 5 to 7 and Starter Plus 7 to 11, before options. A larger catalog or custom sections add days, and the calculator shows your estimate. Sooner and Fastest options shorten it.
Can the store grow with my business?
Yes. We build on clean theme code and tidy product data, so adding products, a domain, email flows or a fuller plan later is a short job. If you outgrow the starter, we can quote the next stage.
What happens after Shopify Starter Store & Link-in-Bio Design is finished?
You receive a recorded walkthrough and a short written guide. Starter Plus includes 14 days of fixes, and a 30-day support extra is available for questions and small changes while your first sales come in.
