An example order from the Kola Pantry concept store below.

Many local shops already take orders online, through texts, DMs and phone calls, without a proper system for it.

Customers already want to order without coming in. A proper store gives them a way to, and gives you one place to see every order.

I want one like this

Concept design with sample products, prices and reviews. Not client work. Illustrations stand in for your own product photos.

Two things, priced up front

A fixed price for the build, and an optional monthly plan after launch. You pay Shopify directly for your plan, so the store and its customers stay yours.

Store Launch

CA$1,250one time, founding rate

For a shop with products ready to sell. The founding rate covers the first 4 clients, in exchange for honest feedback and permission to show the finished store. After that, the standard rate is CA$1,950.

  • Up to 25 products loaded, with clean photos and descriptions. Larger catalogues get a custom quote.
  • Payments, tax, shipping, in-store pickup and local delivery set up correctly
  • Online and in-store stock kept in sync, if you have a till
  • Google Business Profile linked to the store
  • A handover session where I train you to run it
  • 30 days of support after launch
Ask about a founding spot

Store Care

CA$350per month

For owners who'd rather run the shop than the website. One plan, month to month, cancel any time. Every month you see exactly what was done.

  • Up to 10 products added or edited
  • Two promos or banner updates
  • Google Business Profile posts and updates
  • A one-page monthly report: visits, orders, pickup orders
  • A monthly check on speed, apps and checkout
  • Business-day support from me, not a ticket queue

Available after launch, for stores I build or existing Shopify stores after a short review.

Built for shops that sell real products

  • Shops and boutiques with a website that can't take orders yet
  • Bakeries, specialty grocers and food makers with packaged products
  • Makers selling on Instagram, Facebook, Etsy or at markets who want their own store

If you run a service business or a restaurant, a Shopify store probably isn't what you need. I'll tell you so on the call.

From first call to first order

I work on one store at a time, so you always know what's happening and when.

  1. Week 1

    Review and scope

    We look at your products, customers and delivery area together. You get the pages, product count, price and launch date in writing before anything starts.

  2. Weeks 1 to 2

    Structure and words

    I plan the pages and collections and turn your product details into clear, honest store copy.

  3. Weeks 2 to 3

    Build and test

    Theme, products, payments, pickup, delivery and taxes, tested on a phone and a laptop before you see it.

  4. Weeks 3 to 4

    Review and launch

    You check everything, I make the agreed changes, and we go live together. A handover call leaves you in control.

Patrick, founder of Hub Signal

Hi, I'm Patrick.

I live in Moncton. Before Hub Signal, I built and ran two Shopify stores of my own, so I know what it's like to be the owner checking orders at midnight.

I've also spent more than ten years in operations and logistics, getting products from one place to another on time. A good online store is the same job: clear stock, clear pickup and delivery, no surprises.

I keep Hub Signal small on purpose. One store at a time, a real phone number, and straight answers.

Patrick, Hub Signal

Questions shop owners ask

Why is the founding build only CA$1,250?

The founding rate covers the first 4 clients while Hub Signal is new to store builds. After that, the standard rate is CA$1,950. In return, I ask for candid feedback, an honest testimonial, and permission to show the finished store. The testimonial doesn't have to be glowing; it has to be true.

I'm not on Shopify. Do I have to switch?

No. If you have no online store, I'll build one on Shopify because it's reliable and easy to run yourself. If you already sell through Square or another platform that works for you, I'll tell you honestly whether switching is worth it. Sometimes it isn't.

Who pays for Shopify and the domain?

You do, on your own accounts, so you own the store. Shopify's Basic plan is about CA$37 a month on yearly billing, and a .ca domain is around CA$20 a year. I'll flag any paid app before it's added, so there are no surprise subscriptions.

How long will my store take?

Two to four weeks once I have your product list, photos, logo and account access. A bigger catalogue or slow feedback can stretch that; we agree the launch date before starting.

Can you set up pickup and local delivery?

Yes. Pickup times and delivery areas for Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are part of the standard setup.

I already use Square at my till. Is that a problem?

No. I'll look at what you use now and recommend the simplest setup, including keeping your current till if that makes sense.

What if I can't take good product photos?

Send what you have. I'll clean them up, and I'll tell you straight if a few products need new shots.

Can the store be in English and French?

Yes. Shopify supports bilingual stores. Tell me on the call and we'll plan the French pages and translations into the scope.

Will a store guarantee more sales?

No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. A good store makes buying easier. Your products, prices, photos and how you promote the store matter just as much. I guarantee the agreed build, testing and handover.
