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

Wellington market
What the work has to account for here.
Control Shift helps Wellington companies win organic search in New Zealand's government, technology and professional services capital.
Wellington's economy is unusually knowledge-heavy: central government, public sector suppliers, technology firms and creative agencies dominate, alongside a dense hospitality scene. Buyers here are analytical and procurement processes are formal, which rewards detailed capability content over promotional copy. Competition is moderate, well below Auckland, and the Hutt Valley adds a distinct and lighter local market alongside the compact city itself.

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 Wellington 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
