      WooCommerce Review from Amanda Viviano

      We hired Qolos to build our local florist shop's website on WordPress and WooCommerce, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, they took the time to understand our business and created a site that's not only beautiful but easy for our customers to browse and shop. The WooCommerce setup was seamless, our online ordering works exactly the way we needed it to. But what really sets Qolos apart is their ongoing monthly maintenance. We never have to worry about updates, security, or technical issues because they stay on top of everything. Any time we've had a question or a small change request, they've been responsive and professional. As a small local business, it means a lot to work with a team that genuinely cares about keeping our site running smoothly. Qolos has been a true partner, not just a vendor. Highly recommend them to any local business looking for reliable web design and maintenance!

      Web Development Review from Sanjay Singh

      I kept getting negative reviews about my app for technical glitches, heating issues, functionality, loading time, crashing, and more bugs. So, I reached out to QOLOS after going through 2-3 renowned review platforms. I explained my app issue to the team, and they did tremendous work with their mobile testing solutions. Also, I wanted to build a website for my app. They created a feature-rich and seamless website.

      Working with QOLOS was the best decision I have made in regards to scaling my business. They are professional, so creative, they communicate every step of the way and their pricing is fair for the highest quality work. The designer of our logo and website did it well and I am so impressed and proud of the final product! the designer listened and knew exactly what I wanted which made the process so simple. Seriously could not recommend QOLOS more!

      After working with Webisoft for a few months, I'm really pleased with the caliber of support and output I've had. I manage a little business, so I'm highly involved.

      Thomas Booth's Review Sourced from Google

      I recently had an experience back in 2022 with Apadmi that I feel compelled to share and have debated whether i should post this. As a professional eagerly looking forward to an interview with Apadmi, I was unfortunately met with a series of disappointments. Firstly, the structured process I was initially promised for the interview was not adhered to. This lack of organisation not only threw me off but also made it challenging to present myself effectively and forced to do a presentation in less than 24 hours notice. More concerning, however, was my interaction with the Managing Director, not sure if he is still there. I found his demeanour not just unprofessional but outright rude. This was disheartening, especially coming from a leadership figure in a reputable company. I've actually never been so humiliated in the professional environment. It's important for companies to remember that interviews are a two-way process. They are not just about evaluating candidates, but also about demonstrating the company's values and culture. Unfortunately, my experience with Apadmi fell short of the professional standards one would expect, however i would say Marcus, one of the board members was a delight in my first stage. I hope my feedback is taken constructively, as it is intended to highlight areas where there is significant room for improvement in how Apadmi manages its recruitment process and senior staff interactions.

      Apadmi's ability to spin out technology as separate companies is remarkable. A strong supporter of Manchester tech ecosystem, they became unbeatable in mobile category during the first three years of northern tech awards before it adopted a new structure and ownership. Another remarkable achievement is that the four founders have remained together during all these years. I wish them all the best.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Shopify Development Companies

What services do Shopify development agencies offer?

They provide end-to-end solutions that cover everything from initial strategy to long-term growth. Businesses should look for Shopify experts who combine Shopify development, design, integration, and digital marketing to maximize ROI.

Core Shopify development services include:

  • Shopify Store development and web development: Creating Shopify and Shopify Plus sites from scratch, tailored to brand and business models. Shopify website development includes user experience (UX), navigation and structure, and scalable eCommerce architecture for growth.
  • Shopify theme development and customization: Designing advanced Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and managing performance optimization and mobile responsiveness.
  • Shopify app development and software development: Creating custom Shopify apps for unique business needs, private and public apps, and developing backend software for automation and integrations.
  • Shopify integration services: Managing third-party integrations (ERP, CRM, PIM, payment gateways), API-based Shopify integration with logistics, accounting, and marketing tools, and automating business processes.
  • Shopify migration: Transferring existing stores from platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, or custom systems, handling data transfer (products, customers, orders), and managing SEO-safe URL mapping and redirects.
  • Performance and optimization (CRO): Enhancing site speed, mobile optimization, and user experience (UX) to increase conversion rates.
  • Ongoing support and maintenance: Providing regular updates, security monitoring, and technical support

When does a business need Shopify Plus and a Shopify Plus Partner?

A business typically needs Shopify Plus and the support of a Shopify Plus partner when its eCommerce operations become too complex, high-volume, or globally distributed for standard Shopify plans. At this stage, businesses require a more advanced Shopify solution to support automation, multi-store management, and international commerce.

At that point, success depends on:

  • Advanced Shopify development
  • Strong integrations
  • Optimized Shopify design and UX
  • Continuous growth through digital marketing and Shopify SEO

Top Shopify development companies help turn Shopify Plus from a platform upgrade into a long-term competitive advantage. Shopify Plus is designed for high-growth brands that usually generate $1M+ in annual revenue or experience rapid monthly growth.

Shopify reported that its merchants processed over $235 billion in gross merchandise volume (GMV) in 2023, showing how quickly businesses on the platform can scale.

How much does it cost to hire a Shopify development company?

The cost of hiring a Shopify development agency can vary significantly based on your store’s complexity, required features, and long-term goals.

Shopify developers charge between $30 and $200+ per hour or $5,000 to over $30,000 for full website development, according to DesignRush data.

Location is another factor that influences pricing. Agencies in the United States and across North America typically charge between $50 and $150+ per hour, while Eastern European or Asian Shopify development agencies may offer more competitive rates of $15 to $80 per hour.

Platform and ongoing costs to consider:

  • Shopify plans range from $39 per month to $2,300+ per month.
  • Payment processing fees typically range from 1% to 3% per transaction.
  • Ongoing maintenance and support can cost between $90 and $2,400+ per month.

Do I need custom Shopify theme customization or an existing theme with minor edits?

Choosing between the two depends on your business stage, budget, and the level of differentiation your Shopify store needs to compete effectively. 

Shopify theme customization vs. existing theme 

Existing theme with edits  Custom theme development 
Best for startups or simple store setups  Best for scaling businesses and advanced development 
Lower cost: $0-$5,000  Higher investment: $10,000-$30,000+ 
Fast launch: days to a few weeks  Longer timeline: 4-12+ weeks 
Uses 200+ pre-built Shopify themes  Fully custom Shopify design and theme development

What should a Shopify migration company include to protect SEO, data, and sales?

A reliable agency should protect your rankings, customer data, and revenue throughout the process.

At a minimum, a professional Shopify migration service should include:

  • SEO preservation: Full URL mapping, 301 redirects, and metadata transfer to prevent ranking loss
  • Data migration: Accurate transfer of products, customers, and order history with validation checks
  • Shopify integration: Reconnection of apps, payment systems, ERP, and CRM tools
  • Testing and QA: Full testing of checkout, payments, and user flows before launch
  • Performance optimization: Improved speed and mobile UX as part of Shopify development
  • Post-migration monitoring: Tracking traffic, rankings, and fixing issues after launch

These elements are critical because around 33% of users discover brands through search, according to recent reports. Therefore, even small SEO losses can directly impact sales.
