Shopify Web Design & Development
Shopify websites that look great, work brilliantly and make running your business easier.
At Maxim Consulting, we design, build and improve Shopify websites for businesses across the UK.
Whether you're launching a new ecommerce store, redesigning an existing website or looking to get more from Shopify, we'll help you create a website that works for your customers and your business.
We're a Bristol-based Shopify web design and digital consultancy with over 20 years of experience in digital. We combine thoughtful design, practical technical expertise and a genuine understanding of ecommerce.
We make websites better.
Shopify Websites Built Around Your Business
Your website should do more than look good.
It needs to help customers find the right products, make buying straightforward and support the way your business operates.
We design Shopify websites with all of that in mind.
From the first conversation through to launch, we look at your products, customers, goals and day-to-day requirements to create a store that's attractive, easy to use and practical to manage.
New Shopify Websites
Starting a new ecommerce business or moving an established business online?
We can help you plan, design and build a Shopify store that gives your business a strong foundation.
That includes everything from choosing the right theme and organising your products to creating clear navigation, engaging product pages and a straightforward checkout experience.
Shopify Website Redesigns
If your existing Shopify website feels dated, difficult to navigate or isn't performing as well as it should, a redesign could make a real difference.
We'll review what's working, identify areas for improvement and help you create a better experience without changing things unnecessarily.
Sometimes a full redesign makes sense.
Other times. a series of focused improvements is the better investment.
Shopify Custom Development
Not every ecommerce business fits neatly into an off-the-shelf theme.
We help businesses extend Shopify with additional features, theme customisation, apps and integrations.
That might involve personalised products, bookings, wholesale functionality, specialist delivery requirements or connections with other business systems.
We'll recommend solutions that suit your requirements without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Ecommerce UX & Conversion Improvements
Getting visitors to your website is only part of the challenge.
Customers also need to find what they're looking for, understand your products and feel confident about buying.
We look at navigation, collection pages, product information, mobile usability and the wider customer journey to identify opportunities for improvement.
Shopify Web Design Projects
We've worked with businesses across fashion, homeware, timber, outdoor equipment and other specialist retail sectors.
Each project is different, but our focus is always the same: creating a website that supports the business behind it.
Ray Mears Woodlore
Shopify ecommerce and specialist course bookings
Woodlore offers outdoor equipment and bushcraft courses, bringing together physical products and bookable experiences.
Our Shopify work has involved supporting these different customer journeys, including specialist course booking and payment requirements.
It's a good example of how Shopify can be adapted to support a business that needs more than a conventional online shop.
Cosy Cotswold Co
Shopify website design and product personalisation
Cosy Cotswold Co sells personalised wooden signs and homeware.
Our work has included developing its Shopify website and supporting features for personalised products, customer guidance and ecommerce operations.
We continue to work with the business as its requirements evolve.
Sister Online
A new Shopify website and Visualsoft migration
We helped established fashion retailer Sister Online move from Visualsoft to Shopify.
The project combined the practical requirements of changing ecommerce platforms with creating an updated online shopping experience.
It demonstrates how a platform migration can also be an opportunity to improve a website's design and usability.

How We Design & Build Shopify Websites
We believe a good website project should be collaborative, well organised and straightforward.
1
Understanding Your Business
We start by getting to know your business, your customers and what you want to achieve.
We'll discuss your existing website, products, competitors, challenges and ideas.
2
Planning Your Website
Before development begins, we consider your website structure, collections, navigation, customer journeys and any specialist functionality.
Good planning helps avoid unnecessary complications later. We use Trello to manage your project.
3
Design & Development
We build your Shopify website around your brand and requirements, combining design with the features your business needs.
You'll have opportunities to review progress and provide feedback throughout.
4
Testing & Launch
Before launch, we review how the website works across devices and test important customer journeys.
We also check relevant settings, integrations and technical requirements to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
5
Improvements
A website should evolve as your business grows.
We can continue supporting your Shopify store with new functionality, design improvements, troubleshooting and ecommerce consultancy.
Moving Your Existing Website to Shopify?
Already selling online through another platform?
We also help businesses move from platforms such as Visualsoft, WooCommerce and Squarespace to Shopify.
A migration involves more than transferring products. We consider existing URLs, search visibility, customer information, integrations and the way your business operates.
