Store handover checklist plus admin walkthrough notes for managing products, collections, banners, and day-to-day changes.

FAQ

Fast answers to the questions that typically decide whether a build is painless or chaotic.

How can the tiers all be $500?

The price is fixed; the tiers simply choose your optimization priority (speed to launch vs brand experience vs scale/automation). The same core inclusions apply to all tiers—your tier determines what gets the most attention first.

What does “unlimited revisions” actually mean?

Unlimited revisions and edits apply within the agreed build window and to the same store/theme direction. Continuous polishing is included; a complete pivot into a brand-new direction may extend the timeline.

Do you handle apps and plug-ins?

Yes—unlimited app installation and configuration during the build window. Note that paid apps have their own subscription fees, paid directly by the client.

Can you maintain the store after launch?

Yes. Maintenance as a Service is optional at $250/month, covering ongoing edits, troubleshooting, and light performance/UX monitoring.
