Do I need a headless store?

Headless suits brands that need custom experiences or content-heavy storefronts. Many stores do well with a theme; we’ll advise honestly.

Can my team still manage content?

Yes - through Shopify and a connected CMS, without touching code.

What is Oxygen, and do we need it to host Hydrogen?

Oxygen is Shopify's hosting platform for Hydrogen storefronts and is included with eligible Shopify plans. Hydrogen can also run on other hosts, but Oxygen is usually the simplest choice. We'll recommend what fits your stack.

Can you migrate our theme-based store to Hydrogen?

Yes. We rebuild the storefront in Hydrogen while products, customers and orders stay in Shopify, so there's no data migration. We plan URLs and SEO carefully and keep the theme live until the new storefront is ready.

Do Shopify apps still work on a Hydrogen storefront?

Partly. Apps that work in the admin or backend usually carry on as normal, but apps that inject code into themes need a headless option or a custom integration. We audit your apps before the build starts.

How do you keep a Hydrogen store fast as it grows?

With performance built into the architecture. We use server-side rendering, streaming and Hydrogen's caching tools, keep JavaScript lean and monitor Core Web Vitals after launch, then tune queries and caching as traffic and catalog grow.

How much does a Shopify store cost?

It depends on scope - theme work, custom features, integrations and content. Send the form and we’ll reply with a clear budget range, no obligation.

How long does a build take?

Every estimate includes a launch timeline mapped to your scope, with phased milestones.

Can you migrate my store to Shopify without losing SEO?

Yes. We migrate products, customers and orders, and set up redirects and metadata so rankings carry over.

My store is slow. Can you speed it up?

Usually. We audit your theme, apps and scripts, remove dead weight and optimize images and loading order.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes - maintenance, new features and conversion optimization.
