The starting point

Most webshops look alike

Most agencies install a standard theme on Shopify or WordPress, adjust the colours and otherwise stay neatly within what the theme allows. That works, but it produces a webshop that looks like thousands of others, with all the excess code and limitations that come with it.

We go about it differently. The checkout, the payments and the product management we leave to Shopify or WordPress, because that is exactly what those platforms are good at. But the front end, everything your customer sees, we build ourselves in modern code.

That is called headless: management and front end are decoupled. You manage your products the way you are used to, while your customers see a webshop that fits your brand exactly, loads lightning-fast and feels smooth on any phone.

Improving an existing webshop is an option too

Even without a full rebuild there is often a lot to gain: speed, visibility, product pages and the steps towards the checkout. We first look at what is holding your shop back and tell you honestly where the biggest gains are.

If you would rather not think about it at all, we keep your webshop running: updates, new products, seasonal promotions and optimisation based on the numbers.

The difference

Standard theme versus custom coded

Both run on the same trusted platforms. The difference is in what your customer notices, and in what Google and AI assistants can read.

How it usually goes

A webshop on a standard theme

The same design as thousands of other shops
Dead weight from features you never use, and you feel it in the loading time
Bound by what the theme and its apps allow
It works on mobile, but it rarely feels smooth
SEO only as good as the theme permits

What we do

Set up, improve and maintain

From a brand-new webshop to improving and managing what is already there. You choose what you need.

Setting up a new webshop

A complete webshop on Shopify or WordPress with a custom-coded front end. Design, product structure, payments, shipping and copy: we handle it end to end, with a fixed price agreed up front.

Improving an existing webshop

Making your current shop faster, easier to find and more convincing. The biggest gains usually sit in loading time, product pages and the route to the checkout. We measure first, then improve with focus.

Ongoing maintenance

Updates, new products, seasonal promotions and continuous optimisation based on data. You focus on selling, we keep the technology and the visibility in shape.

How it works

Modern code, explained in plain language

We build the front end of your webshop with Next.js, a technology built on JavaScript that major brands use for their webshops too. What makes it special: pages are already prepared on the server before your customer asks for them, instead of your customer's phone having to assemble everything itself.

You notice that immediately. Pages appear almost instantly, even on a phone with patchy reception. And what is fast, sells: every second of loading time costs you visitors, and Google and AI assistants favour fast, technically sound shops.

You do not need to understand or manage any of this. You simply work in the familiar Shopify or WordPress. The technology underneath is our trade, and we explain every choice in plain language.

Why this helps you sell

Speed: visitors stay, and Google factors speed into your ranking
Mobile friendly: most purchases start on a phone, so that is what we design for first
Visibility: clean code and structured data, readable for Google and AI assistants alike
Distinctiveness: a shop that is yours, not a theme anyone can buy
Accessible price: by building smart, custom work stays within reach for smaller shops too

Frequently asked questions

About webshops and visibility

Can my existing website be improved instead of replaced?

Often, yes. We first check whether the foundation is sound. Sometimes speed gains, better copy, new imagery and technical SEO already achieve a great deal. If the foundation is outdated, rebuilding works out cheaper in the long run than repairing forever. We will tell you honestly what we would do.

Do you also handle hosting and maintenance?

Yes. We can take care of hosting, updates, backups and security so your website stays fast and safe. You are also free to keep this in your own hands, in which case we provide a clean handover and a proper explanation.

What does SEO optimisation involve at Geekie?

For us SEO starts in the engineering: fast loading times, a logical structure, correct headings, clean code and structured data. On top of that we optimise the copy for the search terms your customers genuinely use, and we make sure your business is easy to find locally.

What is SEO for AI and why does it matter?

More and more people no longer ask Google but ChatGPT or another AI assistant which company they should call. Those assistants read websites and recommend businesses they can understand well: clear copy, structured data and a technically sound site. We build websites from the first line of code so that both Google and AI assistants can read them properly. That keeps you findable as search changes.

Can you build a webshop as well?

Yes. We build webshops on Shopify or WordPress with a custom-coded front end, also known as headless. You get the reliable checkout and management of those platforms, but without the limitations and sluggishness of a standard theme. The result is a webshop that loads faster, ranks better and is built to sell more. Improving or maintaining an existing webshop is possible too.
