What we do
Shopify, done the way growing brands need it
A storefront that looks like every other Shopify template gets scrolled past. We build Shopify stores that carry your brand and do the commercial work behind it — fast product pages, clean checkout flows, and the integrations your fulfilment and marketing teams actually rely on.
Whether you're a DTC label launching your first store or an established retailer replatforming from WooCommerce or Magento, we pair distinctive, brand-led design with genuinely technical development — and bake SEO in from the first template, not bolt it on at the end.

Why 8 Core
Brand-led design and rigorous CRO, on one team
Most agencies hand you a pretty store and walk away. We optimise for what happens after launch: how your team runs the store, how your systems connect, and whether every hard-won visitor has the best possible chance of buying. When you're paying today's ad costs, small lifts in conversion rate change the entire unit economics of the business.

Questions
Shopify services: FAQs
What Shopify services does 8 Core Marketing offer?
End-to-end Shopify: custom store design and build, Liquid theme development, platform migration, conversion rate optimization, Shopify SEO, and ongoing apps, integrations and care. We take brands from a first storefront through to a full replatform.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
It depends on scope. A focused custom storefront typically starts in the low five figures, while a full replatform with migrations and integrations costs more. We scope every project against your revenue goals and give you a fixed proposal before any work begins.
Can you migrate our store to Shopify without losing SEO?
Yes. We map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects, preserve metadata and structured data, and verify rankings post-launch so a replatform protects the organic traffic and revenue you already have.
Which cities do you serve?
We work with brands across the US and internationally, with dedicated Shopify pages for New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago. Remote and asynchronous delivery means location is never a barrier.
