Shopify Stores Built for Growth

Shopify is made for modern commerce – with flexibility, simplicity, and speed baked in. It’s the platform of choice for brands that want a site they can manage, scale, and improve without relying on developers for every small change. As a trusted Shopify agency in Manchester, Actuate builds Shopify stores that convert, perform, and grow with you.

Let’s talk Shopify

Development

Front End Development

Your storefront is the face of your business. We take time to understand your brand, your products, and your goals, then design and develop a store that brings that vision to life. From layouts and interactions to product display and checkout flow, everything is built with conversion in mind.

You’ll work with a team that listens, communicates clearly, and delivers a polished, functional front-end that works on every device.

Performance Optimisation That Makes a Difference

A fast store is a high-performing store. In fact, just a one-second delay in page load time can reduce conversions by up to 7%. We optimise every store for speed – using clean code, lightweight apps, and performance-first development to improve load times and boost SEO.

Our goal is simple: fewer drop-offs, faster checkouts, and higher revenue.

Shopify Features That Deliver

1

Mobile-First Experience

Shopify themes are responsive by default, giving your mobile users a seamless experience from homepage to checkout. With over 70% of eCommerce traffic now on mobile, that means higher conversion and lower bounce.

2

Built-In International Capabilities

Use Shopify Markets to manage multiple currencies, languages, and regions in one place – without plugins or workarounds. Perfect for brands going global.

3

Easy Inventory & Product Management

Manage SKUs, variants, and collections with ease. Shopify’s backend is simple to navigate, saving your team time and reducing costly errors.

Development

Maintenance & Support

Our job doesn’t end once your Shopify site goes live. We provide ongoing maintenance and support – from updates and fixes to technical help and platform guidance.

Training and onboarding happen before launch, so your team feels confident from day one. After that, you’ll have a reliable partner to keep your store secure, functional, and ready for what’s next.
