A Shopify store redesign with us typically runs ₹1.5L–₹6L (roughly $1,800–$7,000), depending on page count, custom sections, and the integrations you need. We quote fixed-scope before any work starts, so the price you approve is the price you pay, with no hourly creep. Most redesigns ship in 2–4 weeks across two sprints, and every build includes a 14-day post-launch warranty.
A custom Shopify build from scratch generally lands between ₹3L–₹12L (about $3,500–$14,000), driven by theme complexity, custom apps, and integrations like subscriptions, reviews, or ERP. You see usable pages every 1–3 weeks because we work in fixed-scope sprints, not one big reveal at the end. Typical timeline is 4–8 weeks depending on catalog size and custom functionality.
Use Shopify if you want to launch fast and scale operations without managing infrastructure; move to a custom Next.js (headless) storefront once you've outgrown theme limits and need full control over performance and UX. We build both, and our Next.js storefronts ship with 95+ Lighthouse scores and Core Web Vitals tuned for paid traffic. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your stage. We'd rather point you to the simpler option than oversell a rebuild.
Yes, we run Google Ads as a month-to-month retainer, typically ₹40k–₹1.2L/month (about $500–$1,500) on top of your ad spend, scaled to account size and channels. Retainers cover campaign builds, conversion tracking, weekly optimization, and a live performance dashboard, not a monthly PDF. There's no lock-in contract, and our D2C clients average a +240% conversion uplift.
Our SMM retainers cover content strategy, creative direction, production, scheduling, and community management, built as a repeatable monthly system instead of random posts. Most D2C plans include 12–20 pieces of content per month, plus paid social management if you're running Meta or Instagram ads. Like our ad retainers, they're month-to-month with weekly check-ins and no lock-in.
Most ecommerce sites launch in 4–8 weeks: a focused Shopify redesign can ship in 2–4 weeks, while a custom Next.js storefront or app runs 8–14 weeks. We work in 1–3 week sprints with a usable demo at the end of each one, so you're never waiting in the dark. We can usually start within 3–5 days of scope sign-off.
A production-ready mobile app, built in Flutter or React Native for iOS and Android from a single codebase, typically starts at ₹6L for an MVP and ranges to ₹20L+ ($7,000–$24,000+), depending on features, backend, and integrations. That price includes API architecture, cloud deployment, and app-store submission, not just the frontend. We scope an MVP first so you ship something real to users before investing in v2.
Both, though Flutter is our default for most D2C and consumer apps because a single Dart codebase ships to iOS and Android with near-native performance. We reach for React Native when your team or existing stack is JavaScript-heavy, and for fully native (Swift/Kotlin) only when the product genuinely needs it. We'll recommend the framework that's the best long-term bet for your product, not a one-size-fits-all default.
Yes. Flutter compiles to native ARM code and renders its own UI at up to 120fps, so for the vast majority of D2C and consumer apps it's indistinguishable from native. You still get full access to native device features like camera, push notifications, biometrics, and in-app payments, all from one codebase. We only steer you toward fully native development when you need something like heavy AR or deep platform-specific hardware integration.
A mobile-app MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks, built in 1–3 week sprints with a working build in your hands at the end of each one. Yes — we handle full Apple App Store and Google Play submission, including store listings, review compliance, and developer-account setup. Every launch comes with our 14-day post-launch warranty, plus optional month-to-month retainers for new features and updates.
We're async-first: you get a shared workspace, a weekly check-in call, and a guaranteed under-24-hour response time, so you're never chasing updates. We're based in Kolkata, India and deliver fully remote to D2C founders worldwide, and most of our 87 clients have never needed to be in the same room as us. Every engagement runs in fixed-scope sprints with weekly demos, so progress is visible, not promised.
No, we don't do lock-in contracts. Project work is fixed-scope, so you approve the price and deliverables upfront, and retainers are month-to-month, meaning you stay because the work performs, not because a contract traps you. Every build also comes with a 14-day post-launch warranty.
We're one team that handles brand, build, and growth end-to-end, so your Shopify store, your ads, and your brand actually speak the same language instead of being stitched together from three vendors. Studioous launched in 2019 (our founders have shipped client work since 2014), and we've delivered 140+ projects for 87 clients at a 4.9/5 satisfaction rating. No account managers and no black-box hand-offs. You work directly with the people building your project.
D2C ecommerce is our core, where most of our 140+ projects live, but we also take on real estate and international clients where there's a clear fit. We serve founders globally from Kolkata and quote in INR or USD depending on where you're based. If we're not the right partner for your project, we'll say so upfront rather than take the work.
Every fixed-scope project includes defined revision rounds plus a 14-day post-launch warranty. If something we built breaks or doesn't match the approved scope, we fix it free inside that window. Because scope and price are agreed upfront, there's rarely any debate about what "done" means. For ongoing work, you can pause or cancel a retainer month-to-month with no penalty.
