The PortaWork Ecommerce promise

What we do

Two things, done properly.

We don't dabble. We build new Shopify storefronts from scratch, and we migrate existing stores onto Shopify without losing momentum.

Full Shopify Builds

From blank slate to launch-ready. Custom theme, product architecture, checkout flow, integrations — built to your brand and ready to scale on day one.

  • Custom theme & component system
  • Product, collection & page setup
  • Payments, shipping & tax configuration
  • Launch support & handover docs

Seamless Migrations

Moving from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or a legacy stack? We migrate your catalog, customers, and SEO without breaking what's already working.

  • Catalog, customers & order history
  • SEO preserved, redirects mapped
  • Theme rebuild on Shopify
  • Zero-downtime cutover

We're a new studio, so these are concept builds — fully designed and developed stores we've built to showcase the kind of work we deliver. Real client stories follow soon.

Storefront designed in Figma with two review rounds. You see it before we build it.

Why us

Built to last, not just launch.

i.

Code you can hand to anyone

Clean, documented Shopify themes. No spaghetti, no lock-in. If you ever switch teams, the next builder will thank you.

ii.

Migrations without ghosts

Every URL, redirect, and metafield mapped before we touch anything. No traffic lost, no SEO regression.

iii.

Direct line to the builder

No account managers, no handoffs. You talk to the person writing the code — start to finish.

Common questions

Things people ask first.

How long does a typical Shopify build take?
Full builds typically take 4–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Migrations run 3–5 weeks depending on catalog size and source platform. We give you a real timeline after the discovery call, not a guess.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope. Most full builds land between a defined starter range and mid-five-figures. Migrations are usually less. We share a fixed quote after discovery — no open-ended hourly billing.
I'm on WooCommerce / BigCommerce / Wix / Squarespace. Can you migrate me?
Yes to all four, and most others. Our migrations preserve your catalog, customers, order history, and SEO. We map every old URL to its new home so search rankings and bookmarks survive the move.
