What Our Clients Say

The database was a big help to our company as sales for companies and schools are easily tracked. They are always available to help with problem solving and to help effectively manage our inventory.

No rigid WordPress themes. We craft every pixel, animation, and interaction around your brand.

Lower total cost of ownership

Deploy to Hetzner or DigitalOcean for pennies and avoid expensive proprietary plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you pair Astro with Shopify instead of WooCommerce or Magento?

Astro gives us near-instant load times and total design freedom, while Shopify handles PCI-compliant payments, inventory, and admin. You get the best of both worlds—speed and security—without the plugin bloat or maintenance headaches that come with other stacks.

Can I manage products and content myself?

Yes. All product data lives in Shopify, and we can wire a headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful for non-commerce pages. Your marketing team can publish updates without touching code.

What ongoing costs should I expect?

Typical expenses are your Shopify plan (starting at $39 / mo) plus hosting (≈ $5-$35 / mo on Hetzner or DigitalOcean). There are no surprise license fees or theme renewals.

Do you offer post-launch support?

We provide 30 days of included support, optional retainer packages for CRO and feature sprints, and documented hand-off if you prefer to manage internally.
