Storefronts, Cinematic Sites & Ops Automation for D2C Brands
DappaSol is a senior studio for D2C brands covering three jobs: Shopify and custom storefronts from $1,500, cinematic 3D flagship sites from $3,000 for brands that sell on feel, and ops automation from $8,000 to take order handling, inventory syncs and reporting off your team's plate. Fixed prices, weekly demos, you own the code.
- Three D2C jobs, one studio: the storefront that converts, the flagship site that builds the brand, and the automation that runs the back office.
- Shopify/D2C builds from $1,500. Cinematic/3D flagship sites from $3,000. Ops & Internal Automation from $8,000.
- We work with your existing Shopify setup: themes, apps, collections. No forced replatform.
- Scale Retainer from $2,900/mo when you want a senior team on call instead of a one-off project.
Your store converts, your brand site stuns, your ops run themselves
D2C brands hire DappaSol for three jobs that usually need three vendors: the storefront that turns traffic into orders, the cinematic flagship site that makes the brand worth its price, and the back-office automation that stops your team drowning in order spreadsheets. One senior team, fixed prices, no replatform sermons.
The three D2C jobs
The storefront: from $1,500
Conversion-focused Shopify and D2C builds on your existing plan, working with your catalog, collections and apps. We have built on Shopify for real clients, including a corporate-gifting brand running two Shopify stores.
The flagship: from $3,000
A cinematic 3D site built around your product: scroll-driven, film-like, the kind of page that makes a $200 product feel like a $200 product. Honest note: if you compete on price, skip this and put the money into the storefront.
The back office: from $8,000
Ops & Internal Automation: order routing, inventory syncs, returns workflows, daily reports that write themselves. We automate the repetitive middle and leave the judgment calls with your team.
How engagements run
Every project starts with a fixed quote within a business day. Bigger or messier scope? The Week-1 Build Audit is $500 flat, takes 1 week, names every blocker (guarantee: every blocker found or it is free) and is credited against the build. Weekly demos, milestone payments, and 100% code ownership in your repos. Ongoing help runs on a Scale Retainer from $2,900/mo.

FAQ
How much does a Shopify store build cost?
Our Shopify/D2C builds start at $1,500 fixed. That covers a conversion-focused storefront on your existing Shopify plan, working with your catalog, collections and apps. You get the price up front, not an hourly meter.
Can you automate our order and inventory ops?
Yes. Ops & Internal Automation starts at $8,000: order routing, inventory syncs between systems, returns handling, daily reporting into the tools you already use. We map your workflow first, then automate the repetitive middle.
What is a cinematic site and does a D2C brand need one?
A scroll-driven, film-like site built around your product, the kind luxury brands use to justify price. From $3,000. You need one if your product sells on design and feel; you do not if you compete on price.
Do we have to replatform to work with you?
No. We build on what you have: Shopify, your theme, your apps. We only recommend replatforming when the current setup genuinely blocks what you want to do, and we will say so in writing.
How long does a build take?
A storefront build typically runs 2-4 weeks. A cinematic flagship 3-6 weeks depending on assets. Automation projects ship in stages so you see working pieces early.
What happens after launch?
You own 100% of the code and the store. If you want ongoing senior help, the Scale Retainer starts at $2,900/mo. No lock-in either way.
