Whether we’re building a Shopify store from scratch or migrating from another platform, Fixed-fee Projects are managed by Patane and completed over four phases: (1) Discovery, (2) Architecture, (3) Design & Build, and (4) Test & Launch.

Once we understand your needs and align on a scope of work (SOW), we begin drafting the blueprints for your store, including page structure, product merchandising, and overall design. Once approved, we build your store on Shopify, thoroughly test every feature, and guide you through a successful launch. We always work one phase at a time and never move forward without everyone on board.

We typically meet 2–3 times during each phase to update on our progress, make decisions together, and ensure we’re always on the same page. We use email and/or Slack for day-to-day communication and quick questions. The average project can take anywhere from 2–6 months, dependent on site complexity and adherence to the project plan.

The project total is broken out into four (4) payments. The first payment is due upon acceptance of agreement and SOW. Remaining invoices will be issued throughout the project according to the payment schedule in the agreement. Payment is due 7 days after an invoice is issued. A late fee will be applied every 14 days an invoice remains unpaid and work will be paused. Acceptable payment methods are credit card, ACH, or check. All prices are in USD unless otherwise noted. Additional work or requests not covered in the agreement may need to be scoped and priced separately.

When considering the costs of recruiting, interviewing, training, & retaining, you quickly realize how much headspace, time, & money it takes to hire high-quality talent. And that goes for each position you're trying to fill.

Working with PATANE is faster & more cost-efficient than hiring full-time. As a hybrid designer/developer, Sean creates well-rounded solutions that both look great and function well. Ensuring everything runs smoothly, Alyssa seamlessly manages all of our project & business operations. Our team of two does the work of a full agency—no operational overhead required.
