Charlotte Conn Owner at MONTEZUMA’S

Web Development Review from Charlotte Conn
Working with Amy and Marcus is an absolute pleasure, they are always so friendly and approachable and are an amazing extension to our team. Right from the start of our website build, Media Lounge have gone out of their way to help with any question I might ask (no matter how ridiculous!), and are always excited to take on new projects with us. Amy has gone above and beyond to bring new ideas to the table and help with our annual planning. I'm so grateful for your support!

CRO Review from Cormac Moylan
We (a large international e-Commerce site) wished to increase sales and revenue by improving our conversion rate. Because of the nuances of the market we operated in, It was important we partnered with an agency that understood our business and the relationship we have with our customers. Lauren, Grace, Jackson, and the entire team from Media Lounge understood this. Their tactics and optimisations were carefully tailored on improving the connection between our business and customers. Every opportunity recommended by Media Lounge was aligned to our business goals and demonstrated their expertise, knowledge, and abilities. I was impressed with their in-depth research, solutions, attention to detail, and most importantly; the resulting uplift from their efforts. They challenged us when we needed challenging, they addressed assumptions that previously impacted sales performance, and they introduced positive change for both our customers and our business. We couldn't be happier to have partnered with Media Lounge.

Web Design Review from Anthony
If you are looking for a web design company that is happy to go that extra mile, i would highly recommend Media Lounge. If you are like me and words like 'DNS' 'or CHRON' are another language to you, then you have found the right company, they appreciate not every one grasps the in and outs of how everything works in a website, so everything is explained to you easily and clearly. On top of this they build websites that not only look inspiring, but more importantly covert browsers to buyers at an incredibly impressive rate. Our's jumped from a fairly industry average at 2% to 6% - overnight.

3D Animation Review from Andrew Bielous
We recently worked with DreamInk Studio on a series of 3D visualizations for our electronic manufacturing services, as well as some 3D animations for our ad campaign, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their work was outstanding, combining technical accuracy with creativity that really brought our projects to life.The visualizations not only looked fantastic but also helped us effectively communicate our services to clients. The animations for our ad campaign, in particular, were impressive catching the eye of our target audience and delivering our message with impact.For the quality of the work provided, we found the cost to be more than reasonable. The team was professional, easy to work with, and delivered everything on time. We highly recommend DreamInk Studio for anyone in need of high-quality 3D work that delivers great value.

Games Review from Shaun Edwards
I began working with Vlad in 2022 when we needed 3D characters made for our web3 gaming project. Vlad meticulously developed all the technical aspects of the task, ensuring the character's integration into our future game. He not only developed a series of characters unique to my concept but also effectively managed the distribution of tasks among team members, including creating new textures and skins.The game development process started with the discussion of level design, after which Vlad and his team created the first demo version of our game. Vlad demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, hiring additional specialists such as programmers and consultants to further enhance the project.The initiative to create a second version of the game came from me, and Vlad actively supported this proposal. He attentively considered my wishes, coordinated the team's efforts, and prepared additional technical tasks for new challenges. Vlad also successfully adapted the characters for use in Unreal Engine and coordinated the development of game mechanics and NPC physics, including the creation of new game levels.Currently, Vlad is actively involved in refining the game, upgrading our characters. His professionalism, teamwork skills, and results-oriented approach make him an exceptional project manager and we will continue to work with him as long as we can! Vlad is a huge asset to any business in this industry and if he does not know how to do something, he will learn it, or bring one of his many contacts into the project! We are yet to find a problem that Vlad could not fix!

Bryan Pratt's Review Sourced from Google
Mystic Media has been excellent to work with, offered great value, and their expertise and project management has been evident throughout the development process. We hired Mystic to take an idea and concept drawings through UI/UX and graphic design, programming and development, all the way to the market. They have met or exceeded all milestones, even with significant additions to scope along the way. We're currently in beta testing before release, and we are very satisfied with the entire experience. Mystic has earned my unqualified endorsement for anyone looking to develop their first app with them, as we have done.

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
Limited flexibility; relies on apps
Full control; ability to reduce need for apps and improve UX
Good baseline performance
Optimized performance where speed improvements can increase conversions by 8-10%
Essentially, you should choose an existing Shopify theme with minor edits if your priorities are speed, cost-efficiency, and simplicity. Go for a custom Shopify theme development if your priorities are scalability, performance, and differentiation.
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.
