Clients stay because the agency delivers results, not just promises. ### Key Stats - **12** years in business (founded 2014) - **5.0** Google rating - **95%** client retention rate - **100+** projects delivered ### Company Values - **Results-Driven**: Success is measured by client success.

Sub-second page loads, native Shopify Plus B2B features (tiered pricing, NET payment terms, customer-specific catalogs, multi-buyer accounts), and clean migrations that preserve SEO equity through 1:1 URL redirect mapping. **Positioning:** "Headless Shopify storefronts for B2B brands stuck on WooCommerce." Built for wholesale distributors, B2B manufacturers, DTC + B2B hybrid brands, and catalog merchants doing $1M+ in GMV who have outgrown WooCommerce's plugin-driven approach to B2B features. **What's Included:** - Custom Hydrogen + Remix storefront on Shopify Oxygen (edge-rendered, sub-second loads) - Full WooCommerce migration: products, variants, customers, order history, reviews - 1:1 URL redirect mapping (every old WooCommerce URL gets a 301 to its new home) - Shopify Plus B2B configuration: companies, locations, customer-specific catalogs - Tiered and volume pricing rules, NET 30/60 payment terms, PO numbers, draft orders - Multi-buyer company accounts with role-based permissions and approval workflows - Buyer-friendly account features: quick reorder, CSV bulk upload, saved carts, shopping lists - Marketing stack setup: Klaviyo, segments, abandoned cart flows, GA4 - ERP and inventory integrations (NetSuite, SAP B1, Acumatica, Cin7) where applicable - Side-by-side staging until launch, zero-downtime DNS cutover - 30-90 days of post-launch support depending on tier **Pricing:** - Migration Only: $8,000-$15,000 (move off WooCommerce, polished Shopify theme to start) - Custom Hydrogen Build: $20,000-$40,000 (custom headless storefront + B2B tools, recommended) - Enterprise B2B: $40,000-$75,000+ (ERP integration, custom workflows, multi-warehouse) **Process:** Discovery & Audit (Week 1) > Migration & Build Plan (Week 1-2) > Hydrogen Storefront Build (Weeks 2-5) > Data Migration & Redirects (Week 5) > QA & Side-by-Side Staging (Week 6) > Launch & 30-Day Support (Weeks 6-7) **Ideal For:** Wholesale distributors ($1M+ GMV), B2B manufacturers selling to retailers/contractors/OEMs, DTC + B2B hybrid brands, catalog merchants with 1,000+ SKUs, subscription B2B operations, and brands already on Shopify that have outgrown Liquid theme constraints. **Why Hydrogen for B2B:** WooCommerce on WordPress was built for consumer commerce and bolts B2B features on through plugins that fight each other. Shopify Plus B2B is purpose-built for wholesale, and Hydrogen lets us build a fully custom storefront on top of Shopify's backend without Liquid theme constraints. The result: sub-second page loads, real wholesale tools, no plugin chaos, and a platform Shopify is actively investing billions into. **SEO Migration Approach:** Every WooCommerce URL is mapped 1:1 to its new Shopify URL with a 301 redirect. Meta titles, descriptions, alt text, and structured data migrate alongside the products. The typical pattern is a temporary 1-2 week dip during recrawl followed by full recovery — often with a ranking bump from the speed improvement. **CTA:** Free 30-minute strategy call (https://www.stambaughdesigns.co/get-started/) or instant quote (https://www.stambaughdesigns.co/instant-quote/). --- ### SEO Services Local and organic search engine optimization to improve Google rankings and drive qualified traffic. **What's Included:** - Comprehensive SEO audit with competitor analysis - On-page optimization (meta tags, content, structure) - Off-page link building - Local SEO for Google Maps and Google Business Profile - Technical SEO (site speed, mobile, crawlability) - Monthly reporting with keyword tracking **Pricing:** - Foundation: Starting at $750/month - Growth: Starting at $1,500/month - Authority: Starting at $2,500/month **Timeline:** Most businesses see improvements in 3-6 months, with significant results in 6-12 months.
