Imaginaire

Based in Nottingham and working with clients across the UK, Imaginaire is a small agency, with a team of between one and ten people, that has operated since 2014. It has positioned itself specifically as a Shopify agency, working with ecommerce brands rather than businesses in general, and its published project list includes companies in retail, wholesale, fitness, luxury jewellery, home and garden, and interiors sectors, such as Parkside Tiles, Alert Electrical, Wattbike, David Morris and Nottingham Lighting Centre. The agency's core offering is Shopify design and development, built around technical foundations intended to be extended over time rather than through layered customisations. An in-house SEO team is involved from the start of build projects, shaping site structure and content so that existing organic traffic and revenue are retained during a migration or rebuild. Beyond ecommerce SEO, declared services include branding, pay-per-click and general web design. New projects begin with a discovery call covering goals, requirements and budget, during which the agency advises whether a standard Shopify Liquid build is appropriate or whether a headless setup, where the backend editing system runs separately from the customer-facing storefront, is justified. Shopify projects are stated to start from £30,000.
