What exactly you get with a launch or migration
Deliverables that get your webshop live faster and ensure stable performance.
Conversion-focused design
Clear structure for home, collection, product, and checkout. Focus on removing friction, not on visual gimmicks.
Data migration with verification
Products, customers, and order history via mapping, validation, and test runs. Includes a plan for exceptions.
SEO preservation and redirects
301-redirect plan for important URLs, plus checks on indexing, titles, and technical foundation.
Essential integrations
Payments, shipping, and basic email flows. No app bloat, just what's needed for launch.
Performance & mobile-first
Fast loading times, logical mobile UX, and technical choices that allow for scalability.
Training and support
2 to 3 hours of training and 3 months of support. Questions are resolved, no endless ticket exchanges.
Shopify is the foundation. Scale afterwards with marketing.
After launch or migration, we help webshops continue to grow with these services.
How much does a Shopify webshop cost and how long does it take?
Transparent ranges per project type. We determine the exact scope during the intake.
Not included
You pay the Shopify subscription directly to Shopify. Premium apps and additional content (photography,
extensive copy) are optional.
Maintenance after the 3 months of support can be arranged on a monthly basis.
Shopify is the platform I would choose myself if I were to start a webshop tomorrow. Fewer technical risks, faster launch, and a scalable foundation. For migrations, we prioritize data quality and SEO preservation. If something isn't right, we fix it.
When Shopify is not the right choice
We prefer to say "no" upfront rather than fixing problems later
You want full control over hosting and code: In that case, a self-hosted setup is a better fit, albeit with more maintenance and risks.
You have complex custom B2B or ERP legacy integrations: Shopify Plus can handle a lot, but with a limited budget, this quickly becomes tight.
Budget lower than €3,000 and you want us to do everything: In that case, the scope is unrealistic. We can, however, advise and prioritize.
Your current WooCommerce shop is performing really well: Only migrate if there's a concrete problem (performance, costs, complexity).
Are you in doubt?

Honest feedback: it wasn't perfect
Migration success depends on data quality. We state this upfront.
The migration took 2 weeks longer than planned. Our product data was a mess with duplicate SKUs and inconsistent categories. ClickForest resolved it, without extra costs, but it took time. Everything has been running stably since go-live.
