Keep selling after you lock the door.

I build Shopify stores for independent shops in Greater Moncton, from boutiques to international grocers, and look after them once they're live.

  • Founding rate CA$1,250
  • Live in 2–4 weeks
  • One shop at a time
An example order from the Kola Pantry concept store below.

Most local shops already sell online. Just not on purpose.

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.

TodayWith your own store
Orders arrive by text, DM and phone, and you track them in your head.Every order lands in one list, paid, with the customer's details attached.
Customers call to ask what's in stock before driving over.Stock shows online, so they know before they leave the house.
The shop stops selling when you lock the door.People order at 10 pm and pick up the next day.
Customers have to find you on Facebook first.A link on Google, Instagram and WhatsApp takes them straight to checkout.

Concept stores

Self-initiated builds, not client work. Names, products, prices and reviews are samples. Switch between them, open the product page, and try the phone view: most of your customers will shop on one.

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.

Founding store build

CA$1,250one time

For a shop with products ready to sell. This rate is for Hub Signal's first store clients, in exchange for honest feedback and permission to show the finished store.

  • Theme setup and design in your brand
  • Home, collection and product pages
  • Up to 10 products loaded, with your photos
  • Store copy written from your product details
  • Payments, pickup, delivery and tax setup
  • Return, shipping and privacy pages
  • Tested on phone and laptop
  • A handover call so you can run it yourself
Ask about a founding spot

Store care

CA$350per month

For owners who'd rather run the shop than the website. Month to month, cancel any time.

  • Up to 10 product edits a month
  • Two content updates a month, like banners or promotions
  • A monthly check on speed, apps and checkout
  • Business-day support from me, not a ticket queue
  • A short plain-language summary each month

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

Add-on: Google Business Profile setup.So people who search for your shop see the right hours, photos, and a link to order online. Ask about it on our 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 1–2

    Structure and words

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

  3. Weeks 2–3

    Build and test

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

  4. Weeks 3–4

    Review and launch

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

Why a local builder

Search "Shopify developer Moncton" and many results are pages run from other countries. Here's how the options compare.

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?

Hub Signal is new to store builds, so the first projects are priced below the future standard rate. 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. Most of my clients sell locally, so pickup times and delivery areas for Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are part of the standard setup.

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.

Tell me about your shop.

Send the basics and I'll reply within two business days, either with a next step or an honest reason it isn't a fit.
