An AI-built site that cannot be maintained on a Shopify site? The fix, scoped

The symptom

AI builders ship a demo, not a business asset. When the pain arrives, nobody owns the stack. On a shopify build the pattern is recognisable from the outside: the money pages exist, the business is real, and the site is quietly failing at the one job it was bought for.

Why it happens on Shopify specifically

A Shopify store wins or loses on the details most builds skip: theme performance, how the catalog is structured, whether the upsell logic actually matches how your customers buy.

That is also exactly why the fix is scoped rather than guessed: the shopify work here starts from the live site, names the causes in writing, and prices the repair before touching anything.

The fix path

1. A written triage: what is actually broken, what it costs to leave it, what the repair touches.
2. The scoped fix on the Shopify service page’s own terms - $2k–40k, 3–12 weeks.
3. Preventive wiring after the repair, so the same problem does not get a second invoice: maintenance, performance and monitoring as standing discipline.

What it costs

Every repair is priced against the published rate bands and itemised in the cost calculator. The estimate is instant; the written quote lands in two days, free, whether or not you hire.
