// Platform Comparison

Shopify vs WooCommerce vs Custom Build

Not every Derby retailer needs Shopify. Here is honest guidance on which platform fits which situation.

01

Choose Shopify if...

You want a reliable, fast-to-launch e-commerce platform with minimal technical overhead. Best for retailers selling 10-10,000 products who value speed, security, and a polished customer experience. Most Derby retailers fall into this category.

02

Choose WooCommerce if...

You already have a WordPress site and want to add e-commerce, or you need very specific customisations Shopify cannot accommodate. WooCommerce is more flexible but requires more ongoing maintenance.

03

Choose Custom Build if...

You have unique business logic, complex B2B workflows, or massive scale that requires bespoke architecture. Custom builds offer ultimate flexibility but cost significantly more (£15,000+) and take longer to launch.

Shopify Development Derby FAQs

Common questions from Derby retailers considering Shopify.

Shopify development costs in Derby typically start from £2,500 for a small business store with a custom theme and basic integrations. Mid-sized stores with bespoke design and 100+ products usually cost £4,500-£8,000. Shopify Plus implementations and complex multi-store builds start from £10,000. Webgenix provides free quotes within 24 hours.

A standard Shopify store typically takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simpler stores with off-the-shelf themes can launch in 2-3 weeks. Custom themes with bespoke functionality, third-party integrations, or migrations from another platform usually take 8-12 weeks.

Yes — Shopify migrations are a major part of what we do. We commonly migrate Derby retailers from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix and Squarespace onto Shopify. Migrations include data transfer (products, customers, orders), URL preservation through 301 redirects to maintain SEO rankings, theme rebuilding, and full testing before going live.

Both — depending on your budget and goals. Custom themes (built from scratch) cost more but give you a unique brand experience and complete design freedom. Customised premium themes (modifying an existing theme) are faster and more cost-effective for smaller stores. We will recommend the right approach during your free consultation.
