      Brandon Johnson's Review Sourced from Google

      I've worked with many different programs and services to create and maintain web sites since my first HTML site in the late 90s. An everchanging thing, it was difficult to keep up with all the new technologies. Web sites became my least favorite aspect of marketing because everything became so tedious. Linking up with Ruby Shore was the best decision I could have made. When I explained to them my disdain for Wordpress, they happily introduced me to their new system, Waves. Whoa. Surf's up, internetters! Waves is where it's at. I finally was able to create a site exactly the way I imagined it. I didn't run into any of the problems that frustrated me in years past using other services, and it didn't take me long before I was humming along to realize my vision. I want a thing. I get the thing. It just works. I have yet to find any limitations holding me back. Everybody Glows lives online as dreamt because of the team at Ruby Shore. Thank y'all for your awesomeness! Brando

      Jay Gillikin's Review Sourced from Google

      The business world today has become much more demanding for those of us that want to contribute. For those of us willing to put forth the extra effort, TIME has become our major enemy. Ruby Shore has not only developed applications that save us a tremendous amount of time, they have the ability to understand our process with little explanation. This saves even more TIME!!! Not to mention the flawless operation of these applications and the ability to add more features as we begin to understand all of what Ruby Shore can do for our specialized construction business. We will continue to search for ways to improve our business through specialized applications and we will continue to use Ruby Shore for those application designs, development, and management.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
