    Your store. Your brand. Built to last.

    Why Shopify?

    • You own it

      Your store, your products, your customer data. We build on a platform you can take with you—no proprietary lock-in.

    • Easy to manage

      Update products, run sales, and check orders from one place. We train you so you're not dependent on us for day-to-day changes.

    • Built to sell

      Payments, shipping, and tax handling are built in. We focus on making your store look and feel like your brand while the engine does the heavy lifting.

    Growth vs dedicated Shopify

    Not every store needs its own Shopify subscription.

    Growth on Pricing includes an online store with up to 50 products on a hand-built Lorien site—good when you want a brochure site that sells a modest catalog without Shopify's monthly platform fee.

    Choose a dedicated Shopify build when you need apps, inventory workflows, multi-channel selling, or checkout customization beyond what a Lorien site package covers. We scope and quote that work separately—the same fixed-price approach as our other services.
