Our Shopify Design Packages for U.S. eCommerce Startups (Under $1K)

Starting a Shopify store in 2025 shouldn’t drain your bank account. Especially if you’re an eCommerce startup trying to get things off the ground. The reality is, most new U.S. founders don’t have $5,000 to drop on a full custom Shopify build. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a clunky DIY template or a store that looks like every other site out there.

At That Nerd Studio, we’ve created Shopify design packages specifically for early-stage U.S. brands. Each one is built to help you go live quickly with a clean, branded, and fully functional store — without blowing your launch budget.

Why We Created These Packages

Too often, we’ve seen new founders delay their launch because they couldn’t afford a “proper” store. On the flip side, we’ve seen others overspend on custom builds before they even tested product-market fit.

These packages hit the sweet spot — affordable, fast, and strategic. They’re ideal for founders who have a product ready, a brand vision in mind, and need a store that works without all the unnecessary extras.

Let’s Talk Pricing and What’s Included
