Choosing a platform
Shopify, WordPress or custom code?
Shopify for most stores, WordPress for content-heavy sites, custom code when neither fits.
The right choice depends on your team, your budget, your catalogue and how you plan to grow. We recommend one in your proposal and say why, so you know what you're signing up to run.
Shopify or WordPress: choosing the right platform for your online store| Shopify | WordPress | Custom code | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Most online stores | Content-heavy sites, and stores that need more control | Builds neither one fits |
| Launch | Fastest to launch | More setup | Built from scratch |
| Upkeep | Hosted and updated for you | Updates and plugins to look after | A developer for changes |
| Running costs | A monthly plan, plus apps | Hosting and plugins | Hosting and developer time |
Launch
A quiet launch day.
Launch day goes quietly when the checks are done the week before.

Shopify or WordPress: choosing the right platform for your online store
A plain comparison of the two most common platforms for Pakistani online stores, and how to choose.
Your website is a sales meeting you will never attend
Visitors judge your business on your website when no one is there to answer questions. Design it like the meeting it is.

Why a studio, not a freelancer or a hire?
Either can be the right call. This is what changes when the work sits with a team.
Questions about Web Design & Development
Which platform should we use?
Shopify for most stores, WordPress for content-heavy sites, custom code when neither fits. We'll recommend one in your proposal.
Do you design and build?
Both, with one team. The people who design the site build it.
Can you build just a landing page?
Yes. A landing page for a launch, a campaign or a single offer is one of the three ways to work with us.
Will the site work on phones?
It's designed for phones first and tested on every screen size before launch.
Can you set up payments on our store?
Yes. Sansouci's Shopify store, payment setup included, is one of ours.
Can you move our old site without losing what it has on Google?
We map every old address to its new page and set up redirects before launch, so search engines and old links find the new pages.
Will the site be ready for search?
The basics are in place before launch: page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, Search Console and fast pages on a phone. Ongoing work sits under SEO & GEO.
Do you look after the site after launch?
Yes. Support retainers are available after launch.
