Alchemy + Aim is a strategic website development company that helps mission-driven businesses, nonprofits, and e-commerce brands – from high-growth startups to established mid-size companies – build aligned online ecosystems using Shopify and WooCommerce.

Through intentional design, custom development, and regenerative strategy, we not only help you sell online, we help you scale with clarity, flow, and integrity.

A Strategic, Scalable Approach to e-Commerce

At Alchemy + Aim, e-commerce is a vital part of the ecosystem that supports your business’s growth, not just one more feature to add to your website. Whether you’re selling digital products, physical goods, or recurring subscriptions, we approach e-commerce as an extension of your business strategy, not just a transaction tool.

We work across both Shopify and WordPress with WooCommerce, helping visionary brands and mission-driven organizations build systems that support selling, scaling, and evolving without compromising integrity, efficiency, or alignment.

Our e-Commerce Philosophy

We start with strategy always. e-Commerce doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It needs to integrate with your accounting system, your CRM, your marketing channels, and your internal workflows. That’s why our first questions aren’t “What platform do you want?” or “What theme do you like?”

We ask:

  • How do you want people to experience your offerings?
  • What’s the full journey from discovery to payment?
  • Where can we automate to create flow and where is the human touch essential?

We’ll help you determine what should live on the website, and what may be better handled off-site, like invoicing systems or back-end fulfillment. Our team is experienced with high-traffic stores, complex product catalogs, and advanced integrations that help mid-sized and scaling companies maintain performance and clarity.

We support:

  • New Shopify store builds
  • Redesigns and migrations
  • Custom theme development
  • Theme customization

We build e-commerce experiences that are robust, secure, and deeply tailored. Every WooCommerce site is paired with our core maintenance plan, and we recommend a monthly retainer for clients running live stores, ensuring responsive, expert support as your business grows.

e-Commerce frequently asked questions

What platforms do you build e-commerce sites on?

We build e-commerce websites on Shopify and WordPress using WooCommerce, selecting the best platform based on your goals, growth plans, and technical needs.

How do I choose between Shopify and WooCommerce?

Shopify is ideal if you want an easy-to-manage, secure hosted platform with fast setup. WooCommerce on WordPress offers more flexibility, customizations, and ownership of your tech stack. During strategy, we help you determine what fits best within your business ecosystem.

Can you help migrate my existing store to Shopify or WordPress?

Yes. We handle both Shopify and WooCommerce migrations — including content, products, customers, orders, and system integrations — with care and precision.

Do you offer e-commerce strategy as a standalone service?

We do. E-commerce strategy is often included in our website builds, but we can also offer it as a standalone service to help you assess your current setup or plan for growth.

Do you provide ongoing support for my e-commerce website after launch?

Yes. We offer robust post-launch support and maintenance plans. For WooCommerce sites, we recommend adding a monthly retainer to ensure proactive, strategic updates.

Do you build completely custom online stores or use pre-made themes?

We do both. For Shopify, we offer custom theme development or intelligent theme customization. For WordPress/WooCommerce, we create custom functionality when needed and always tailor your setup to your business.

Do you work with physical products, digital products, or both?

Both. We support physical goods, digital products, subscriptions, donations, event tickets, and more — often within a single site.

Can you integrate my e-commerce store with my CRM, accounting software, or inventory system?

Absolutely. We specialize in connecting your e-commerce systems with tools like CRMs, accounting platforms, ERPs, and inventory systems to streamline operations and reduce manual work.

Can you set up subscriptions, memberships, or donations on my site?

Yes. We frequently implement WooCommerce Subscriptions, Memberships, and Shopify-compatible apps to support recurring payments, gated content, and donor flows.

Can you help with shipping, tax setup, and international sales?

Yes. From automated shipping calculators to sales tax compliance and currency localization, we make sure your store is ready to scale globally.

What payment gateways do you support?

We regularly work with Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, and platform-native solutions. We also support split payments and more complex gateway configurations.

What is the typical process for an e-commerce project?

We start with strategy — to understand your business, products, and needs — then move into design, development, testing, and launch. You’ll have clarity at every stage, with a dedicated team and thoughtful timeline.

How long does it take to launch an e-commerce site?

Projects typically take between 3 to 10 months, depending on the scope, complexity, and whether branding or custom functionality is involved. We’ll define your timeline more clearly after the initial strategy phase.

What kind of clients do you typically work with for e-commerce?

We work with thoughtful, mission-driven clients across industries — from wellness and fashion to food, nonprofits, and home goods. What unites them is a commitment to quality, purpose, and growth.

Can I start selling online without a full website build?

In some cases, yes. We can help set up lightweight, focused solutions — like single-product sales pages or external checkout systems — especially if you’re testing an idea or launching quickly.

What’s the best way to get started if I don’t know what I need yet?

Start with a strategy session. We’ll guide you through your options, ask the right questions, and help you see what’s possible — before you make a big investment.
