Our Speciality
Shopify Store Setup
-
We set up Shopify stores from scratch for companies looking to launch efficiently without getting bogged down in unneeded complexity.
-
You get everything you need to launch, including setup & configuration of your store, themes, navigation, product organization, apps, payment processing and go-live checks. This is a fast-track option for launching in Dubai or any other market while keeping scalability in mind for the future.
Custom Shopify Theme Development
- A "generic" theme can undermine the impression people get from your store. CLOUD6 designs custom Shopify themes to your product offering, your customers and your sales objectives.
- We alter the layout, edit and develop key pages and sections, product pages, collection pages, banners and text and visual blocks until you feel your store looks like you rather than a template. The final output should be a unique looking store that feels right for the business.
Shopify Migration Services
- Migration must be done very carefully. You could risk losing traffic, breaking pages and losing your sanity over a botched job.
- Our Shopify developers can migrate your store from your current store (WooCommerce, Magento, other ecommerce platforms, custom stores, etc.) to Shopify, trying their best not to lose any content, products, customers, collections and SEO factors in the process.
- We aim for a smooth migration with minimal downtime and as little disruption as possible.

What makes CLOUD6 a leading Shopify development agency in Dubai?
Mobile devices are increasingly a leading source of traffic for ecommerce stores. That means your store has to perform at its best for smaller screen sizes. CLOUD6 builds Shopify stores that are fast, product-focused and easy to buy from in mobile-first fashion. That's a big deal in Dubai, where so much of your audience will be shopping on phones.
Apps are powerful, but you could quickly turn your store into a slow-moving bloated mess with the wrong apps installed. CLOUD6 can help you determine the right apps to integrate on your Shopify store based on your business needs (reviews, upsells, loyalty, subscriptions, shipping, analytics, live chat, marketing automation, etc.) and will integrate them as required, keeping them useful, fast, and easy to maintain.
