ForNameDroppers, Mushroom Rise
Shopify and custom-built eCommerce, designed around how your customers actually buy.
Who it's for Draft
Makers, manufacturers and heritage brands that sell online, or want to sell more online. Usually there is no developer in-house, and the current shop was built by someone else.
You want a shop that is easy to buy from, easy for your team to run, and looked after once it is live.
The problem Draft
Most shops that underperform are not short of features. They are hard to buy from: slow pages, product options that confuse, checkouts that ask too much, and a back office the team works around rather than with.
Some were built on a platform that suited the agency rather than the business. Others were finished and then left, with nobody to call when something breaks.
Choosing a platform Draft
The right choice for most product businesses. It is secure, quick to run and your team can manage it day to day. We design and build the shop around how your customers actually buy.
Worth it when what you sell does not fit a standard product page: made-to-order work, complex quotes, trade pricing, or a process that runs from the website into the factory. NameDroppers is an example: a custom store and quoting tool.
If your current shop is sound and a few fixes would do, we will say so. Honest advice includes "don't do that".
What's included Draft
A complete shop, from the plan to the first orders, built by the people you will speak to afterwards.
What the shop must do, for whom, and what a good result looks like, agreed with you up front.
Product, collection, basket and checkout pages shaped around how your customers choose and order.
Shopify theme work or a custom build, with the apps and integrations you need and none you don't.
Products, options, prices, images and pages brought across and checked.
Links to the systems you already use, so information is entered once.
Fast pages, clear titles, structured data and redirects from your old addresses, so search engines and AI assistants can read every page.
Tested on real phones and browsers, launched on a planned day, with orders and rankings checked afterwards.
A walk-through of the day-to-day jobs, and ongoing care from the same people if you want it.
Typical Shopify build: 6–10 weeks. Custom builds usually take 10–16+ weeks

Every project has a fixed scope and a fixed price, agreed before any work starts.
We set the price once we both know exactly what the shop needs to do. If something new comes up partway through, we talk about it first. The price does not run away.
Most Shopify projects fall between £7,500–£15,000. Bespoke eCommerce and application builds are scoped separately

Questions Draft
Shopify suits most product businesses: it is secure, quick to run and easy for your team to manage. A custom build is worth it when you sell made-to-order or quoted work that a standard product page cannot handle. We will tell you which fits before you commit.
Yes. We start by looking at what is there and tell you plainly what is worth keeping. Sometimes the right answer is a few fixes, not a new shop.
Not if the move is planned properly. We map every old address to its new one, carry over page titles and descriptions, and watch rankings after launch.
Yes. Products, prices, pages and offers are yours to change. We show your team how, and we are a phone call away if they get stuck.
