# Shopify store development, from idea to first sale

> We build your Shopify store from scratch: a design that fits your brand, fast, built to convert and set up to sell from day one. Quoted per project.

You bring the idea, we turn it into a store. We build your Shopify store with its own design, fast on mobile and with everything that helps shoppers buy, with the experience of Brazil's #1 Shopify partner.

## Who it's for

- Brands starting to sell online that want to get it right from the start.
- Sellers on Instagram or WhatsApp who want a store of their own.
- Merchants who set up a store on a stock theme and feel it doesn't build trust.
- Brands on marketplaces that want their own channel, with better margins.

## What we deliver

- **A design that fits your brand:** Colors, typography, logo and photos applied consistently from header to footer, on desktop and mobile.
- **Pages that sell:** Homepage, collections and product pages organized so shoppers can find, trust and buy.
- **Fast from day one:** The store is built light, with the same care as our speed optimization: properly sized images and only the apps it needs.
- **Built to convert:** Price, installments, shipping, reviews and the buy button in the right place, using what we have learned from CRO.
- **Set up to sell:** Payments, shipping, domain, store pages and policies ready to take the first order.
- **Mobile first:** Every screen is designed for mobile too, where a big share of purchases happens.

## How the build works

1. **Discovery:** We get to know your brand, your audience, your products and the references you like.
2. **Visual direction:** We present the visual direction of the store before we start building.
3. **Build:** We build the store on Shopify, with the pages, collections and products agreed in the proposal.
4. **Setup:** Payments, shipping, domain, apps and policies configured and tested.
5. **Review and launch:** You review the store with us, we run a test order and it goes live.

_There are approval checkpoints between phases: you review the work before we move on._

## Timeline and pricing

Store development is quoted per project, because it depends on the size of the catalog, the pages and the features the store needs. It takes from 15 business days, and the proposal comes after a meeting. Prices are in Brazilian reais (R$), and we can quote in your local currency on request.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does it cost to build a Shopify store?

It depends on the size of the catalog, the pages and the features the store needs, so every build is quoted individually. The proposal comes after a meeting; to get started, tell us your idea on WhatsApp. Shopify's monthly plan is paid separately, directly to Shopify.

### How long does it take to build a Shopify store?

From 15 business days. Stores with more pages, products or features take longer; you get the exact timeline together with the quote.

### Do I need everything ready to start?

No. We help you organize what is missing. What speeds things up is having your logo, product photos and pricing, shipping and stock information at hand.

### I already have a store on another platform. Can you build the new one on Shopify?

Yes. In that case the project is a [Shopify migration](https://www.dashotimiza.com/en/shopify-migration): the store gets a new design and we bring over the catalog, the images and the SEO redirects.

### My store is already on Shopify, but I want a new look. Is that a new build?

That is a [rebrand](https://www.dashotimiza.com/en/shopify-rebranding): your store takes on your brand's look without starting from scratch and without losing what already works.

### What happens after the store goes live?

We stay close. Fixes and new sections come in as [fixes and customizations](https://www.dashotimiza.com/en/shopify-fixes-and-customization), and you can move on to [CRO](https://www.dashotimiza.com/en/shopify-cro) to sell more.
