Fixed-scope Hydrogen packages
Launch a lean custom Hydrogen storefront without hiring a full agency.
Starter, Standard, and Growth packages are priced by project requirements: routes, templates, components, integrations, migration risk, SEO needs, analytics, and launch QA. They are not priced by traffic or pageviews.
Why fixed scope
A first Hydrogen launch should not become a full migration by default. Fixed scope keeps the first version focused around core ecommerce pages, product flow, cart behavior, Shopify checkout handoff, and clean performance.
Build packages
Fixed-scope storefront packages for brands that want a lean custom Hydrogen build without agency overhead. Pricing is based on project scope, not traffic, not pageviews, or store size.

Includes
Not included
A lean Hydrogen storefront can start around $2,000 when the scope is clear: core pages, product flow, cart drawer, Shopify checkout handoff, and basic account entry.
More complex work increases the price when it adds custom filters, integrations, content models, migration risk, analytics, SEO preservation, or post-launch support.
Price drivers
The quote changes when the work adds more templates, product logic, integrations, migration risk, or launch support.
Scope review prep
Pick the closest template and send only the facts you already know. Clear scope keeps fixed-scope work commercial instead of risky.

What $2K covers
A focused first version of a custom Shopify Hydrogen storefront.
It covers the core shopping path: landing page, listing page, product detail page, cart drawer, checkout handoff, basic account entry, and launch-ready structure.
Scope boundary
Liquid vs Hydrogen
Small theme-only leads should not be pushed into Hydrogen. The package path starts only when a custom storefront has a clear reason to exist.
AI-assisted workflow
I use AI-assisted workflows to move faster on repetitive implementation work: component scaffolding, content structure, QA checklists, route planning, and documentation drafts.
The important decisions are still senior-owned: storefront architecture, Shopify data flow, SEO-safe rendering, cart behavior, performance, and launch readiness.
AI reduces implementation drag. It does not replace commercial judgment.
Proof
The portfolio is mapped to the new buying path so a buyer can tell which proof supports Starter, Standard, Growth, Custom, or Liquid decisions.

FAQ
Because the scope is limited. A Starter build focuses on the core ecommerce flow and avoids complex migration, advanced filters, app-heavy logic, custom checkout, and full CMS architecture.
No. It is cheaper because the scope is smaller, the workflow is productized, and AI-assisted development reduces repetitive implementation time. Senior review, architecture judgment, and launch QA still matter.
No. Pricing is based on project requirements: page templates, features, integrations, design complexity, migration risk, analytics, and launch support.
Yes. The first build should stay lean. Additional filters, search, content sections, integrations, and support can be added later as a Growth scope or retainer.
No. Hydrogen can be useful outside Shopify Plus, but the business case matters. If Liquid is enough, I will say so.
No. The storefront hands off to Shopify checkout. Custom checkout work is not included in Starter, Standard, or Growth builds.
