Shopify support pricing

Whether you need an entire site built for you, or some hand holding along the way, we’re here to help. Our support plans are not just for our existing customers, if you had a theme designed by another designer or bought a Shopify theme and need help, get in touch.

Focus more on your business

If you have a Shopify store and would like support to help you get the most out of your website, we can help. We’ll empower you to build your business by training you to use Shopify efficiently.

On a Shopify support contract you will have access to your own Shopify Experts who can guide you, walk you through new features and fix up any minor issues with your online shop. You’ll also have access to a discounted rate – making it cheaper to develop new features, change elements of the design or get help with Shopify Apps. Think of it as insurance for your online business. You might not use us that much, but the moment something goes wrong, we’ll be here.

The benefits of constant improvement

A Shopify support plan isn’t just about being able to answer questions and fix bugs. There is a real, tangible benefit to constant incremental improvements to your online shop. It is best practice to build, assess, modify, assess and repeat. This is what the big online shops do. They don’t just build the website and let it run.

Your online shop should constantly evolve. Constantly improve. Create new content, fix a styling issue, tweak the checkout process. Improve over and over again. With our Shopify Support Plans, you are budgeting for this process, locking in a plan to improve your website over the following 12 months at a fixed price.

How Our Support Plans Can Help You

Frequently Asked Questions

We would love the opportunity to work with you, but we understand that you may have some additional questions. This quick Q&A covers the most commonly asked questions that come our way.

However, if you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Why choose Arias… what makes us tick?2022-01-31T18:20:51+00:00

We’re a super creative team of experienced web designers & developers in the New York City area that enjoy turning ideas into websites, and websites into successful online businesses. We’re known as one of New York’s leading WordPress design and development agencies, but we work with clients from all over the U.S., Europe and even some reaching as far as Australia.

We are passionate about helping our clients present the best version of themselves.

We don’t just create good websites – we’re obsessed with creating standards compliant, search friendly websites that get attention, are memorable and amplify the brand, drive traffic, generate leads and increase sales.

Get in touch to find out more about why we do what we do and how we do it.

Is all of your design & development done on-shore?2022-02-26T18:54:18+00:00

We’re a 100%, on-shore design and development agency and we never outsource, ever.

Your project will be delivered to you by our team of designers and developers, and you’ll get to know them all personally throughout the lifecycle of your project.

Our clients prefer to work with an on-shore team, so that they can have better oversight as the project evolves. And you should be aware that when you look for a design agency, there are many agencies that may have an office registered on-shore, but they offshore all of their development work.

We strongly believe there should be:

  • Ease of communication
  • An option for face-to-face contact
  • Regional knowledge and understanding of your business and marketplace

All of this makes for a stress-free process that leads to a successful outcome.

What is your overall design process?2022-01-31T18:20:51+00:00

Our tried & tested process typically starts with an onboarding meeting either face to face, via Zoom or a phone call, where we’ll learn about your website objectives, the competitive landscape, and we’ll identify what a successful outcome looks like for you and your customers.

From there, we’ll conduct our own website research and look to finalize the UI/UX, the site structure, web user flows and then proceed to the initial website design. Once finalized, we’ll put together a more detailed and structured design and upon approval, move to the development phase.

You can expect regular communication with the team, and ultimately, we try to make ourselves as available as possible while still leaving room for us to make meaningful progress on your project.

You can learn more about our process by visiting some of our in-depth web design case studies.

Can you work with my existing marketing team?2022-01-31T18:20:49+00:00

Absolutely. Our team frequently collaborates with internal or external digital marketing teams. Throughout the course of a project, we frequently assist these teams in creating a better structural foundation for SEO, establishing smarter segmentation, and improving goal and event tracking.

Following the launch, we can work with your marketing team to create new landing pages, add new website sections, and roll out new custom website functionality.

How long does it take to build a custom website?2022-01-31T18:20:47+00:00

The time it takes to create a website can vary depending on the type of website (for example, is it an information/services site, or is it an e-commerce website?) and its complexity. We custom design and custom build websites as each client is unique with different requirements. These requirements are assessed to determine the budget and timeframe for delivery. But as a rough guide…

How long does it take to build a WordPress website?

On average, a smaller 5-10 page custom designed brochure site built on the WordPress CMS typically takes around 4-6 weeks. More complex WordPress websites with a broad range of business integrations can take up to several months.

How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?

A standard eCommerce website built on Shopify can be created in 3-6 weeks with good preparation (and an organized client!). More customised Shopify sites with more complex integrations can take longer to build and deploy. Payment gateways, shipping methods, product descriptions, and product photos must all be planned out for the seamless launch of an eCommerce website.

How much does it cost to build a website?2022-01-31T18:20:45+00:00

Just like the question above, this can vary depending on several aspects of the project, such as how big the website is (number of pages) and the features and functionality that is included in the website.

What size and type of companies do you work with?2022-01-31T18:20:43+00:00

We have extensive experience delivering incredible results for companies of all sizes and industries, including kick-ass start-ups, solo entrepreneurs and small businesses, as well as much larger enterprise clients across a multitude of sectors…

  • Real estate

To get a better sense of our wide range of web design projects, please see our portfolio of previous work.

Should I hire a web designer or do it myself?2022-01-31T18:20:41+00:00

Websites are a crucial component of every modern business, so it’s critical that you create a high-quality website that’s optimized to perform well and creates a sense of trust around your brand.

In addition, your site should ideally be…

  • Integrated with social media platforms
  • Registered with search engines and found within search results
  • Optimized to convert visitors to actual paying customers

We recommend hiring a professional website designer because this ensures that all necessary features are covered. This may not be possible if you do your own website design because each area requires a high level of skill and experience.

If you work with the best web developers and designers, you are more likely to get a better performing website that will work hard for your business.

What platforms do you use to build a website?2022-01-31T18:20:40+00:00

We use a few different platforms, depending on the type of project, and the unique requirements of each client.

For most sites, we use WordPress. WordPress is a globally used platform that allows us to create websites for a variety of budgets. It has a wide range of plugins that allow for site growth, allows for great SEO optimization and our team can provide outstanding ongoing support.

WordPress also offers greater flexibility and functionality. It’s a sophisticated platform that enables for more customization and is powerful enough to be extended to do even more. Website builders and page builders don’t allow you to easily move beyond their offered templates and can be functionally constrained. WordPress, on the other hand, when built by a good developer that has a good understanding of coding, will allow you to create a website that is customized to fit your unique requirements.

For E-commerce sites, we almost always use Shopify for the vast majority of sites, and WooCommerce for bigger, more complex shops.

How often should my website be updated?2022-01-31T18:20:38+00:00

A dated site can diminish trust in your messaging, and leave your business lagging behind your competitors. When digital trends change, this is a strong indicator that it’s time to upgrade.

Websites should be updated in line with the expansion of an organization. The website should grow and change in conjunction with your business. It is critical to compare your website to those of your competitors to ensure that it is compatible and up to date with industry standards.

3-5 years would be an expected lifespan of a website, however it is possible to extend this by refreshing the design (an evolution, rather than a revolution), imagery and content, all without undertaking a major redesign (depending how well the existing site has been built).

Should I redesign my existing website?2022-01-31T18:20:36+00:00

Redesigning your website is an important aspect of growing your business. It’s critical to keep your website’s content up to date and relevant to your customers.

The process typically starts with a review of existing performance and determining what works and what doesn’t. This may include visual updates, new capabilities, SEO techniques, design components, and user experience.

Will my website work on mobile devices?2022-01-31T18:20:34+00:00

Definitely, all of our websites are responsive in design meaning they are mobile-friendly and work on all devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

As one of the best web development companies in the New York City area, we build websites the right way, and aim to deliver websites that power your business, long into the future.

Are websites still relevant?2022-01-31T18:20:32+00:00

While the future of websites will be interesting, for now and 2022 in particular, websites are more relevant than ever. Nothing beats a well-designed website that is packed full of unique and rich content that is focused on conversions.

While social media is a great source of traffic, there is nothing as powerful as driving traffic to your own website to capture leads and sales, and then retaining the customer when they return to your website.

If designed and built correctly, your website:

  • Has the power to drive a lot of search engine traffic
  • Be a powerful lead generation machine
  • Validates your brand
  • Positions you as the leader in your market
    (rather than just being a player on some other platform)

When set up correctly, a great website has the power to truly elevate your business.

The best website designers should be able to create a website that is a marketing machine for any business, and your website should be a valued investment – however big or small.

Will you teach me how to update my website, and what about ongoing maintenance?2022-01-31T18:20:30+00:00

Absolutely. We use content management systems such as WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify. Part of the project delivery is to get you comfortable with your new website quickly and make sure you’re able to update content on your brand new website, long before the site goes live.

As for ongoing maintenance, your website’s security and health are critical to its overall performance, so we’re here to provide ongoing support services after the website is deployed – with no nasty lock-in contracts.

We can also help with reactive website improvements such as creating new landing pages or introducing new features.

If you need our help, simply call or email and we can step in and help you with your website to ensure it is running at optimal performance. It’s all just part of the excellent web design and development service.
