## Who this page is for

Founders and ecommerce leads with a defined project in mind, such as:

- a replatform or [migration to Shopify](https://thinkcommerce.com/services/shopify-migration)
- a new build on [Shopify Plus](https://thinkcommerce.com/services/shopify-plus)
- a custom app or platform
- CRO and optimisation

Want to see everything we do first? Browse [our Shopify services](https://thinkcommerce.com/services).

## What to send us

- Your store URL, if you have one
- The platform you are on now
- What you want the project to achieve
- When you need it live, and any fixed dates such as peak season

## What happens next

We read your brief and reply by email. If it helps to talk, we set up a 30-minute discovery call.

## How long a project takes

Most Shopify Plus builds go live in 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and integrations.

## Project or retainer?

If the work is ongoing rather than a single project, a monthly retainer may suit you better. [Compare our Shopify retainers](https://thinkcommerce.com/retainers). For work with a clear scope, see our [fixed-price projects](https://thinkcommerce.com/offers/fixed-price-projects).

## Brands we have worked with

Our clients include SA1NT, GaitLine, Majema, Christiania Glasmagasin, Fuel of Norway, Aquafigure, Tufte, Garntopia and Kano. We have processed £150M+ in B2B commerce and driven £100M+ in D2C revenue. Read what we did in [our Shopify case studies](https://thinkcommerce.com/case-studies).
