Sidekicks builds and improves Shopify stores for brands doing about $1M and up.
Theme builds start at $15,000 and take four to six weeks. Custom and headless builds start at $25,000 and take eight to twelve weeks. Landing pages are quoted by the page.
After launch, maintenance runs $750 to $1,500 a month, and inside the full system we run one CRO test or page a month, chosen from where the store leaks the most.
- Theme builds from $15,000
- Custom builds from $25,000
- Maintenance $750 to $1,500 a month
The symptom
The store was built before the ads were. The product page takes four seconds to load on a phone, the Meta campaign lands on the home page, and the checkout still asks people to create an account. The conversion rate is where all of that shows up.
Shopify store builds, landing pages, and CRO
- 01
Theme builds: a Shopify theme designed and built around your products, with the sections your campaigns need and the speed Google scores.
- 02
Custom and headless builds: for brands with subscription logic, bundles, or an integration a theme cannot carry.
- 03
Landing pages: built for a campaign, with the tracking in place before the first dollar of traffic.
- 04
CRO: one test or page a month inside the full system, from where the funnel loses the most people.
Why the same team
A build by the people who run your paid and email is the handoff that does not happen.
The tracking is in the theme on day one.
The landing pages are built for the campaigns that will send traffic to them.
The ad and the page are written by the same people.
Price and timeline
| What | Price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Theme build | From $15,000 | Four to six weeks |
| Custom or headless build | From $25,000 | Eight to twelve weeks |
| Landing page | Quoted by the page | One to two weeks |

Maintenance covers theme updates, app changes, new sections, and the fixes that come up. The range depends on how much changes each month.

Questions founders ask about Shopify builds
01How much does a Shopify website cost?
Agencies publish $15,000 to $35,000 for custom theme work and $50,000 and up for Shopify Plus builds. Sidekicks starts at $15,000 for a theme build and $25,000 for custom.
02Can you fix our current theme instead of rebuilding it?
Often, and the growth plan says which. A fix is a maintenance engagement or a CRO month. A rebuild is for a theme that cannot be made fast.
03Will the build get in the way of the ads?
The build runs alongside the retainers and launches between campaigns, so the account keeps running.
04Who owns the theme?
You do, and it lives in your Shopify account from the first commit.
05Do you work on Shopify Plus stores?
Custom and headless builds cover Plus stores.
