What Does it Mean to be a Shopify Plus Expert?
In 2016 we became one of the first 3 agencies in Europe to be named ‘Shopify Plus Expert’ by Shopify. This accolade means that Shopify recommends us directly as a web design agency with a proven reputation for excellence designing on Shopify Plus. We are one of a select, relative few agencies around the world with Shopify Plus Expert accreditation and serve Shopify Plus customers with services ranging from fully bespoke store design and development to search marketing services and development retainers. Each month we provide marketing and ongoing optimisation services to our long-term clients.

You can visit our UK Shopify Plus Expert profile to view a selection of our most recent work and read independent feedback and reviews from our clients. One of the goals of the Shopify Expert scheme is to help businesses find Shopify designers, developers, marketers etc that they can trust with their business-critical needs. It’s therefore very important to Shopify – and to us – that we are as transparent as possible in our business, abilities and areas of expertise.
Our Shopify Plus Expert accreditation includes the following services:
1. Migration to Shopify Plus
We’ve helped numerous brands migrate their stores to Shopify Plus, from platforms such as Magento, WooCommerce, Prestashop and BigCommerce. Our extensive experience in migration means we can ensure a seamless data migration and page redirects. Many of our clients see immediate improvements in organic traffic following their migration to Shopify. As part of our discovery phase, we carry out a full analysis of your current performance, and are able to advise on best practice for your store design and international structure. Our pre-migration tech stack consultancy enables you to select the very best Shopify integrations for your store, to provide reviews, loyalty, email, personalisation, inventory management and more.
2. Shopify Plus Web Design
Shopify has a range of themes available out-of-the-box. However, our clients come to Swanky because they need bespoke Shopify Plus web design which goes above and beyond the off-the-shelf themes. Our clients are typically looking for a Shopify Plus Expert web designer because they have an existing branding package which they want to keep or they’re looking for bespoke functionality which will outperform a standard theme or template.
3. Shopify Plus Web Development
Whilst Shopify is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, it’s also a very powerful platform. Our experienced team of Shopify Plus developpers have crafted custom-built solutionsk to help our clients get the most out of Shopify. This includes development work on the site itself and the development of bespoke Shopify apps where there isn’t an obvious solution to the challenges that you’re facing.
Whether you’re looking for a site to be developed from scratch – or simply need a Shopify Expert web developer to improve your existing site – we’d love to explore the possibility of working with you.
4. Shopify Plus Growth and Marketing
Once your new Shopify Plus store goes live, the real work begins. Our Shopify Plus growth team offers Shopify Plus brands ongoing marketing and growth services to optimise their customers’ digital experience and improve key metrics. From PPC management to Paid and Organic Social and Email marketing, our Shopify Plus marketing services are bespoke to your needs and budget, and are designed to help you generate traffic, increase conversions and maximise your sales.
