Shopify website design for small businesses

Ready to elevate your website and want somebody to do the work for you? Hand the project over to an ecommerce expert and get the benefit of my 1:1 training as well.

Let an ecommerce expert create your online shop

Whether you're new to ecommerce or a growing brand, there's a lot of other tasks you're probably focusing on as a founder of a small business.

So rather than spend your time figuring out Shopify, how about handing over the design and build of your Shopify website to me, an ecommerce expert and educator with 13+ years experience.

Does this sound like you?

You're already using Shopify but you have a DIY basic website that you'd love to improve to create a better user-experience for your customers

You're a new brand or start up who knows they want to use Shopify as their website platform and you'll be selling products online

You want a website that's captivating, convincing and converting because it's the place you're selling your wonderful products

You want an easy to use and update website that's not full of apps, custom code and impossible to update yourself

How we'll work together on your online shop

Discovery call

It's always great to chat first and make sure we're the right fit for each other. I start all my projects this way so you know who you'll be working with and to make sure you like me

Brand deep dive

I'll send over an in-depth brand questionnaire for you to complete and start to collect your brands assets, this helps me get to know you and your brand before we start the project so I can fully absorb and understand your goals.

Kick-off call

The kick-off call is our chance to run through any problems, issues or questions you might have before I start to build and design your website. I'll also make sure you're happy with the theme choice and a rough outline of the website layout and functionality. It's also a great time to discuss any apps or extra customisations that are needed

Website build + training

This is where you can sit back, relax and leave the hard work to me. I'll be building or redesigning your website and ensuring we regularly catch up if needed, you'll get the chance to see the progress at every stage and make comments and changes. We'll also start your training right away so get ready to learn

Support + aftercare

Once the website is ready to launch, we'll have another call to make sure you're happy with everything. I'll also schedule some training calls, depending on what you need most help with so that you can fully manage your site going forward. I am also on hand for two weeks post-launch for any extra questions you have.

Why ask me to design your Shopify website?

I’m Elle, I specialise in all things ecommerce for small businesses. I created The Ecommerce Assistant to help busy brand owners make more sales on their own websites by teaching them how to use Shopify + Klaviyo.

I've helped over 130+ small businesses with their emails and websites and I know what makes a great customer experience.

Shopify website design FAQs

How long does a Shopify store take to build?

I usually quote 6-8 weeks for a Shopify website project. It will depend on the complexity of your website and how much work needs doing. I only ever take on one or two projects like this at once so you'll always have my undivided attention for the duration of our time together

Do you only design online shops on Shopify?

Yes. Because I'm an expert in using Shopify and this is what I spend my time on, whether that's training, building websites or my online courses. I am not a web developer so I find that Shopify is the best platform for most people as it is so easy to use and keep updated and you don't need to learn anything complicated to then fully manage it yourself. My website is also built (by me) on Shopify so you can see what yours might look like

How you take payment for projects?

I take a deposit to get you booked in, this is because I only work with one or two clients at a time on a bigger project like this and you're securing a time in my diary to get started. The remaining balande will be due at set intervals throughout the project agreed in advance. Most people pay in 2, 3 or 4 paymenrs. If you need to discuss payment plans, please get in touch as I am happy to chat more.

Can I do some of the work myself?

Sure, the majority will be done by me but often to save on cost and time clients will make product page updates themselves (with full training and guidance from me). I find this helps you learn more going forward too. If you would prefer to just learn from me, then take a look at my training packages instead. On our discovery call we can discuss what sort of level of work you need me to do and what you'd like to tackle yourself

What other small businesses have you worked with?

I've worked with a huge variety of small business, from net curtains to handmade chocolate, t-shirts to notebooks. I don't have a niche and I love the variety of clients I get to work with. To read what pervious clients have to say about me click here.

When can we get started?

Typically I book a few months ahead of time, but I try and keep my contact page and emails up-to-date with my next available slot. If you have a certain deadline in mind just get in touch and we can talk more.

Small businessess happy with their fantastic Shopify websites

“Elle has exceeded all of my expectations and it was the best investment I ever made. She designed and built my website from scratch. She did so effortlessly, on time, and imparted her knowledge & advice at every step along the way. Not only have I got the most beautiful online shop for my business with a seamless user journey, I’m now also armed with lots of knowledge in how to use shopify so I can make edits on my own. Elle is a total joy to work with, she always goes above and beyond, and has continued to be super responsive and helpful when I’ve needed further advice.”

Small businessess happy with their fantastic Shopify websites

"It was a pleasure working with Elle on our new Shopify website. She was organised and professional while being friendly and highly responsive. No issue was too small. Her recorded videos were a great way of explaining behind the scenes issues and everything was explained clearly and in full detail. She advised me on the new theme with parameters I had listed and it now looks fantastic. Her contacts with a developer and assistant made everything run smoothly with no hold ups. I would recommend Elle to any other small business owner looking for help."

Small businessess happy with their fantastic Shopify websites

"Having worked with Elle previously, I looked forward to working with her again when the time came to update my Shopify website. Elle 100% leads the way on these projects, and guides and advises in a practical, knowledgable and organised way. As a small business owner juggling everything involved in running the business, this is exactly what I need. Elle made great recommendations on the design, format and information given on the website which has resulted in a new site that looks amazing, is functioning well and is as informative as it can be for our customers. I highly recommend working with Elle."
