Store build
A Shopify store set up properly — theme, structure, catalogue and checkout — rather than a template dropped in and left.

Otago market
What the work has to account for here.
Control Shift helps Otago companies capture both the tourism demand and the steady local demand that sustain the region year-round.
Otago contains two very different markets. Dunedin is a university and healthcare city with steady local demand and light competition, while Queenstown is one of the most search-competitive tourism destinations in the Southern Hemisphere, where operators fight international aggregators for visitor bookings. Any effective Otago strategy treats them as separate problems requiring separate content.

Shopify Development
What the engagement actually covers.
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Theme and app choices made against a performance budget, because slow stores lose ranking and sales in equal measure.
Apps & integrations
Payment, shipping, inventory and marketing apps wired into your Otago operation so orders are not re-keyed by hand.
Catalogue & feeds
Product data structured once and pushed cleanly to Google Shopping, Meta and marketplaces without manual re-entry.
Free ads & SEO audit
Every build starts with a free Google Ads audit and a free SEO audit.
Most stores fail on visibility, not on build quality. So every Shopify build we quote includes a free audit of your Google Ads account and a free SEO audit of the site — you get the store and a plan for being found, not a store that opens to silence.
- Free Google Ads audit — campaign structure, wasted spend and the quick wins that pay for themselves
- Free SEO audit — technical issues, keyword gaps and the page structure rankings depend on
- Handed over with the store, not sold to you afterwards as an upsell
