The Shopify Agency for stores that get found in search & AI

A Shopify agency designs, builds and grows ecommerce stores on Shopify. The work covers store design, theme and app development, migrations from other platforms and the marketing that drives traffic and sales once you launch.

At Imaginaire, design, Shopify development, ecommerce SEO and PPC sit within one team, so your store is planned around search performance from the first wireframe.

Our Shopify projects start from £30,000. Shopify Plus builds typically start from £40,000, and headless architecture, third-party integrations, multi-market setups and bespoke functionality all influence the final figure.

Every project begins with a free discovery call. We'll talk through your goals and requirements, then give you outline figures before you commit to anything.

Yes. Migrations are a large part of what we do, and protecting your organic traffic is the first thing we plan for. Our ecommerce SEO team maps your rankings, URLs and content before anything is rebuilt, so your new store launches with your search equity intact.

We migrate from Magento, WooCommerce and most other platforms.

Shopify is built for small to mid-sized stores. Shopify Plus is its enterprise tier, designed for brands processing high volumes of traffic and transactions. It adds checkout customisation, advanced automation through Shopify Flow, up to nine expansion stores, dedicated B2B functionality, unlimited staff accounts and priority support.

If you're not sure which tier fits, we'll advise you on your discovery call.

Headless Shopify separates the frontend experience from the Shopify backend. The storefront is built using a framework like Next.js, while Shopify handles products, checkout and payments via its Storefront API.

This gives brands complete design freedom, faster page loads and much more control over SEO factors such as URL structures and content hierarchy. For most brands, Shopify Liquid is the right starting point. We'll advise on whether headless justifies the extra investment.

Yes. Most of our clients move onto a growth retainer after launch, covering ongoing development, conversion rate optimisation, SEO and PPC. The brands that grow fastest treat their store as a living product, not a finished project.

We can also take on existing Shopify stores, with our developers working in your codebase for maintenance and new features. Find out more about our Shopify support and maintenance service.

Design, development, ecommerce SEO and PPC all sit within one team. Most agencies either build stores or market them, rarely both. Our developers understand search performance and our SEO strategists understand the technical constraints, so you get a store built to rank, convert and scale from day one.

We've been doing this since 2014 from our studio in Nottingham, for brands across the UK.

Yes, and this is actually one of our areas of specialist expertise. Shopify B2B is a fantastic platform, allowing for lots of features that will help you sell to the trade more easily and also automate a lot of your back office admin.
