Shopify development by county
Detailed guides to the Shopify agencies in each county, with honest comparisons and what to look for.
Kent
Home county · 30+ towns covered · Select Partner based here
Kent is our home county. We are based in Gravesend and have worked with Shopify businesses across the whole of Kent, from the Medway towns to Canterbury, Maidstone, and the Isle of Thanet. Our full guide covers the other Kent Shopify agencies, what separates them, and who is best suited to what type of project.
Essex
A short drive across the river · Chelmsford, Colchester and beyond
Essex has a growing ecommerce community, from fashion retailers in Chelmsford and Brentwood to distribution businesses across Basildon and Harlow. Our guide covers the Essex Shopify agencies worth considering and the questions to ask before you commit to one.
London
30 minutes from Central London · Enterprise and mid-market options compared
London has some of the world's best Shopify agencies, and most of them are priced for enterprise brands. Our guide is honest about where London agencies excel and where South East alternatives like Dev Partners offer better value for mid-market retailers.
Sussex
Brighton's digital scene · East and West Sussex coverage
Brighton has a high concentration of Shopify agencies, from long-established growth-focused shops to UX-led boutiques and high-end Shopify Plus specialists. Our guide breaks down what each one is actually good at so you can match them to your project type.
Surrey
Between London and the South Coast · Guildford to Reigate
Surrey retailers sit between London agency pricing and local agency capability. Our guide covers the Surrey and South East agencies serving the market, from high-end Shopify Plus specialists to more accessible mid-market partners, and helps you identify what you actually need.
Shopify development elsewhere in the UK
We are based in Kent and these regions are served remotely, which we say plainly on every page. The guides are worth reading anyway: we checked every agency's address against its own contact page and Companies House, and a surprising number of them are not where their landing pages imply.
Hampshire
Delivered remotely from Kent · Southampton to Basingstoke
Hampshire's own agencies are largely WordPress-first in their own words, and most of the Shopify specialists ranking for the county are based in Dorset or Bristol. Our guide names who is genuinely in Hampshire, where each address came from, and what each firm actually does.
Yorkshire
Delivered remotely from Kent · Leeds, Sheffield and East Yorkshire
Leeds has one of the strongest Shopify agency clusters outside London, and it also attracts an unusual number of agencies from other counties publishing Leeds landing pages. Our guide separates the two and compares the genuine Yorkshire agencies on what matters.
West Midlands
Delivered remotely from Kent · Birmingham, Coventry and Solihull
For a region of its size, the West Midlands has a short bench of genuine Shopify specialists, and the search results are dominated by agencies in Bristol, Manchester, Cheshire and Dorset. Our guide says who is actually local and what each one is good at.
What we actually build for South East retailers
Most Shopify agencies configure themes and install apps. We write the code for what your business actually needs.
Custom Shopify builds
Theme development, custom storefronts, and functionality built around how your business operates rather than what a template allows.
ERP and back-office integration
NetSuite, Peoplevox, Sage, and bespoke systems connected to Shopify so orders, stock, and fulfilment flow automatically.
Platform migrations
From Visualsoft, Magento, WooCommerce, and legacy platforms to Shopify, with SEO equity preserved and trading continuity maintained.
Fulfilment and warehouse automation
Multi-warehouse inventory management, pick and pack workflows, carrier integration, and returns automation through ShopFlow or bespoke builds.
Wholesale portals
B2B customer portals, trade pricing tiers, and account-based access running alongside your consumer Shopify storefront.
Performance optimisation
Speed, Core Web Vitals, and technical SEO for Shopify stores where performance is directly impacting conversion and rankings.
What our clients say
19 clients. A few of their words.
A well-rounded team, ensuring a full suite of expertise & resource is always available. CDS Global have seen the successful completion of major projects over the years where Dev Partners' ability to grasp the underlying business needs to provide a future-proof solution has been invaluable.
We have worked with Jason & his team to develop our Shopify store, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The design is clean, modern, and perfectly aligned with our brand identity, while the build is fast, responsive, and easy to manage on the backend. They clearly understood our vision and delivered a store we're genuinely proud of. Highly recommend to any brand looking for a top-quality Shopify partner.
After ongoing issues and delays with our previous developers, we brought in Rob & Jason at Dev Partners to take over all our websites and bespoke software. What a breath of fresh air, fully focused, excellent pre-launch designs and clear communication throughout. Highly recommended.
BPC Energy Ltd turned to Dev Partners for a complete turnkey solution, and they exceeded our expectations. The team handled everything from project management to development and support with real care and attention. They understood what we were aiming for, stayed on top of every detail, and always delivered on schedule with excellent quality.
