3 Ipswich plans, 100 products to 2,000, identical build on each
One count decides the plan: how many products the store holds. Shop Starter, from £495 a month, holds up to 100, a skincare brand with its oils, cleansers, balms and a few gift sets. Shop Growth, from £695 a month, holds up to 500, a Tavern Street shop with a full range. Shop Scale, from £895 a month, holds up to 2,000, a trade supplier on Ransomes Europark finally putting its catalogue online. Past 2,000 it's Custom and we quote for it. Everything else is identical: research, theme, redirects, Merchant Center and the monthly Shopify SEO. 12 months to begin with, then month by month at the figure you signed, and an Ipswich seller steps up the month the catalogue outgrows its plan.
Nobody in Woodbridge types Shop, they type face oil for dry skin
An Ipswich skincare maker's website has a Shop page, 30 products in a grid, a basket. Nobody she wants searches for that. They search for face oil for dry skin, gentle cleanser for rosacea, whipped body butter, vegan lip balm and natural skincare gift set, and when no page of hers says that, Google shows a chain instead. So each search becomes a collection page, holding the right products and a short honest answer, plus a page for Ipswich itself where people add the town. The research is done first and shown to you: which phrases, roughly how many a month, who sits on page 1. No searches, no page. 5 product types searched 5 ways is 25 searches, and 25 pages made to match.
From Etsy and Squarespace to Shopify without losing an Ipswich ranking
Most Ipswich brands arrive with something: an Etsy shop with a few hundred sales behind it, a Squarespace site, a Wix store a friend set up in 2020, or a Shopify theme nobody updates. The move is the part people fear and the part we're strictest about. Every address on the old site is listed, products, collections and blog posts alike, and each gets a redirect to its new home, so a page ranking today for body butter sends people to the same body butter tomorrow and Google follows it rather than starting afresh. Products, variants, photos and the customer list come too. On the Marine Spec build, each old Wix address was mapped this way before the switch, and nothing went dark.
Why Shopify for an Ipswich brand, and what it costs on top
Shopify's checkout is the reason we build on it. Shop Pay and Apple Pay let a customer on the train from Liverpool Street finish buying in a few taps instead of typing a card number, so fewer baskets get abandoned. Shopify Payments takes the cards without a separate merchant account. Orders and stock live in an app on your phone, so a sale at the Waterfront market leaves the same stock as a website sale, and the packing list is in your pocket. Apps exist for subscriptions, reviews and gift wrap when needed, not before. The honest part: Shopify bills its own monthly plan fee and card fees, settled with Shopify directly since the account is yours, and we won't quote them because they change.
One Bury St Edmunds studio, 40 minutes along the A14 from Ipswich
Store, keyword research, monthly Shopify SEO, brand polish and, when the phone photos won't do, the product shoots: one studio on King's Road does all of it. There's no SEO company blaming the theme, no photographer who hasn't seen the store, no third login to chase. Ipswich is about 40 minutes along the A14 from us, so the first meeting can be at your unit or over a coffee at the Waterfront, and after that nearly everything is done on screen, with a visit when a decision needs a table. Shoots are priced from £545 a month, and the wider marketing lives on our digital marketing page for Ipswich. The same road reaches our Shopify pages for Kesgrave, Felixstowe and Stowmarket, each researched separately.
Ipswich store live in about 2 weeks once the products land
Count from the day your products and content reach us: about 2 weeks. We don't quote anything quicker, because the first few days go on the keyword research that sets the collections, and a store built before that research is a store with a Shop page. After it the theme is designed around the brand, the products go in with variants, photos and alt text, the collections follow the research, the redirects from Etsy or Squarespace are mapped, Google Merchant Center is connected, and the whole store is tested on a phone with a weak signal, because that's how an Ipswich customer on the bus over the Orwell Bridge will use it. Your old shop stays open while all this happens.
Online stores for Ipswich makers and shops whose customers are not all in Suffolk
Ipswich is a county town with a working port and a maker scene born in kitchens and spare rooms. Take a natural skincare brand: face oils blended in small batches in a flat near the Wet Dock, a stall at a Waterfront market once a month, an Etsy shop that takes its cut, and a Squarespace site whose Shop page shows 30 products and a basket. It sells well to people who have met the maker, and nothing to the woman in Woodbridge typing face oil for dry skin at 10pm, because no page on the site says those words, so Google hands her a national brand. We're on King's Road in Bury St Edmunds, about 40 minutes along the A14. An Ipswich brand gets a Shopify store designed around it, a collection for each way people search, whatever sits on Etsy or Squarespace moved across with its rankings, and the Shopify SEO handled every month, priced from £495 a month, no build fee, the store in your own name.
