Shopify specialists, without the agency price tag

Most Shopify agencies in the West Midlands are built for scale. There's an account manager, a project manager, a designer, a developer and a monthly retainer — and a good chunk of what you pay covers the machinery rather than your store.

We work differently. Digital Marbles is founder-led, so the person you speak to is the person designing and building your store. There's no retainer, no layers to talk through, and no budget quietly disappearing into overhead. You get the standard of work larger agencies charge a fortune for, priced against your actual project.

That's the whole proposition: Shopify expertise without the Shopify agency overhead. If you want a big agency with a big team and a big invoice, there are plenty in Birmingham. If you want someone genuinely good who answers the phone, that's us.

What we do

Why businesses here choose a studio over an agency

Ecommerce businesses across the West Midlands tend to share a problem: they've either outgrown a DIY store, or they've been quoted eye-watering figures by an agency for something that shouldn't cost that much.

A founder-led studio sits in the gap. You get proper conversion-focused design, clean development and someone who understands that a store is a commercial asset, not a design exercise — at a price that reflects the work rather than the office.

And because we're not chasing retainer revenue, we'll tell you honestly when you don't need us. Sometimes the answer is a few focused fixes, not a rebuild.

What you get either way

  • A store designed around what actually converts — not just what looks good in a mockup
  • Fast, mobile-first builds that hold up on real phones and real connections
  • Clean technical SEO so the store can be found, not just visited
  • Direct access to the person doing the work, start to finish
  • Straight pricing with no retainer and no surprise invoices
  • Honest advice — including when the cheaper option is the right one

How a project runs

Step 01

A proper conversation

What you sell, who buys it, and where the current store is losing them. No pitch deck.

Step 02

Design that sells

Brand-led layouts built around the buying journey, not a theme's default sections.

Step 03

Build & optimise

Fast, clean Shopify development with speed and technical SEO handled as we go.

Step 04

Launch & improve

Careful launch, then measure and refine. Support only if you want it.

We write plainly about the things that actually move the needle on a Shopify store:

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with businesses across the whole West Midlands?

Yes. We're based in Shrewsbury and work with ecommerce businesses right across the region — Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Telford, Walsall, Dudley and throughout Staffordshire and Shropshire. Most of the work happens remotely, and we'll travel to meet you where it genuinely helps the project.

How much does a Shopify store cost?

Our Shopify Starter build is £1,500 and Shopify Growth is £3,000, with larger or more custom projects priced against the actual scope. There's no retainer — you pay for the build, and ongoing support is optional.

Are you a Shopify agency?

Not in the usual sense. We're a founder-led studio, which means you deal directly with the person designing and building your store rather than an account manager. You get agency-level work without the agency overhead being priced into it.

Can you redesign an existing Shopify store?

Yes — redesigns and rescues are a large part of what we do. If your store is live but slow, dated or simply not converting, we'll audit it first and tell you honestly whether it needs a rebuild or just focused fixes.

Can you move my store to Shopify without losing rankings?

Yes. Migrations from WooCommerce, Wix, Magento and Squarespace are handled with a full URL map and 301 redirects so the SEO equity you've built carries across. Losing rankings in a migration is avoidable, and it comes down to planning the redirects properly.

How long does a Shopify build take?

A focused Starter build typically runs three to four weeks; a larger Growth project six to eight, depending on product count, content readiness and any custom functionality.
