If your Shopify store is holding your business back — slow pages, a dated theme, checkout friction, or a backend nobody in your team fully understands — a proper redesign pays for itself quickly. By Design UK builds and rebuilds Shopify stores for UK ecommerce brands with fixed pricing, transparent timelines, and full ownership of the resulting code. No agency bureaucracy, no freelancer disappearing halfway through the project.
We sit deliberately between the two extremes UK merchants usually face. A freelancer might be cheap upfront but risky: inconsistent availability, no documentation, and often no real ownership of the theme or apps they’ve configured. A traditional agency might be reliable but slow and expensive, with opaque scoping calls and pricing that only appears after weeks of discovery. We give you agency-level engineering discipline at freelancer-adjacent speed, with a fixed quote before work begins and complete source code handed over at delivery.
Every redesign is scoped around your store’s actual problems rather than a generic template swap. Typical projects include:
Our Shopify development services cover everything from a focused conversion-rate-driven redesign through to a full custom build with bespoke functionality. For merchants who eventually outgrow Shopify entirely, we also handle the transition into bespoke platforms through our SaaS development work — the same engineering team, the same fixed-price philosophy, just a larger scope.
Shopify redesign and build projects with By Design UK typically range from £499 to £18,999, depending on the complexity of custom functionality, the number of integrations, and whether you need a full custom theme built from scratch or a refined evolution of your existing store. Smaller, focused redesigns — refreshing an underperforming theme, fixing checkout issues, or cleaning up app conflicts — sit at the lower end. Fully custom builds with bespoke apps, complex product logic, or multi-currency and B2B requirements sit toward the top. You’ll receive a fixed price before any development starts, so there’s no scope creep and no surprise invoices.
Once your store is live, many clients choose one of our ongoing support plans, starting from £299/month for Shopify stores (or from £797/month for SaaS platforms), covering monitoring, updates, minor feature additions, and priority response if something breaks.
Rather than asking you to take our word for it, we point directly to Tackly.co.uk — a live, multi-toolkit SaaS platform we designed, built, and continue to operate ourselves. It’s a working demonstration of the engineering standard we apply to client projects, whether that’s a Shopify storefront or a full custom application. We’re a UK-based team, we work to fixed prices, and every client leaves with full ownership of their source code — no vendor lock-in, no dependency on us to keep the lights on.
We use AI-assisted tooling throughout scoping, development, and testing to compress timelines without cutting corners on quality or security. This is a large part of how we keep Shopify redesigns priced from £499 rather than the five-figure minimums common at larger agencies, while still delivering custom-coded solutions rather than off-the-shelf template tweaks.
