Why Businesses Are Leaving EKM for Shopify
While EKM has served many UK businesses well, Shopify offers superior features, flexibility, and growth potential for modern e-commerce stores.
8,000+ Apps vs Limited Options
Shopify's app store offers thousands of integrations for marketing, inventory, shipping, and more. EKM's limited plugin ecosystem restricts your growth potential.
Mobile-First Design
Over 70% of e-commerce traffic is mobile. Shopify's themes are built mobile-first with superior performance and conversion rates.
Lightning-Fast Load Times
Shopify's global CDN and optimised hosting infrastructure deliver pages in under 1 second. Faster sites = better SEO and higher conversions.
Multi-Currency & International Markets
Sell in 133 currencies across 175 countries with Shopify Markets. Built-in international checkout and localisation features.
The Bottom Line
EKM is fine for basic stores, but if you're serious about growth, Shopify's superior features, performance, and ecosystem will accelerate your success.

"I originally reached out to Tony to help with SEO but unfortunately my website crashed to a point where I thought it was beyond repair. I was panicking and didn't know what to do when Tony asked if I would allow him to help me recover my website. After a very long few weeks I got a message from Tony telling me my website is back up and running. Something I thought was gone for good. Couldn't recommend him enough for his work. He also helped with SEO for the website! Thank you Tony"

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about migrating from EKM to Shopify
Will my Google rankings be affected by the migration?
Not if done correctly. We implement proper 301 redirects from every EKM URL to the equivalent Shopify URL, preserve all meta data, and submit updated sitemaps to Google. Most migrations see no ranking loss, and many improve due to Shopify's superior page speed.
How long will my store be offline during migration?
Zero downtime. We build your entire Shopify store while your EKM store remains live. Only when everything is tested and ready do we switch the DNS, which takes 5-10 minutes. You never lose a sale.
What happens to my customer accounts and order history?
All customer data (names, emails, addresses, purchase history) transfers to Shopify. Customers can log in with their existing credentials. Order history is preserved for your reference and customer service needs.
Can I keep my current domain name?
Absolutely. We'll guide you through updating your DNS settings to point your existing domain to Shopify. Your customers won't notice any difference in your web address.
What about my product images and descriptions?
Every product image, description, variant, SKU, pricing, and inventory level transfers to Shopify. We also migrate product categories and maintain your catalogue structure.
Do you provide training on using Shopify?
Yes. We provide comprehensive training documentation and video tutorials. For larger migrations, we include hands-on training sessions to get you and your team confident with Shopify's admin panel.
