Shopify

Shopify development

Shopify stores built to convert — custom themes, app integrations, and the bespoke functionality the theme store can't give you.

What you get

  • Custom Shopify themes (Online Store 2.0)
  • Custom apps and Liquid work
  • Checkout and conversion optimization
  • Third-party and payment integrations
Our Process

How we deliver.

A structured engagement from discovery to deployment — no surprises, no scope fog.

01

Store audit & conversion analysis

We review your current store performance — page speed, checkout funnel, product page layout, and mobile experience — identifying conversion bottlenecks before building.

02

Theme design & development

We build custom Online Store 2.0 themes with modular sections that your team can rearrange in the theme editor — no developer needed for content changes.

03

Custom functionality & apps

We build custom Shopify apps or Liquid customizations for product configurators, subscription models, custom pricing logic, and workflows the app store can't solve.

04

Checkout optimization

We optimize the checkout flow — reducing friction, adding trust signals, implementing express payment methods (Shop Pay, Apple Pay), and minimizing cart abandonment.

05

Launch & growth setup

We configure analytics tracking, set up email marketing integrations, implement structured data for rich search results, and ensure the store is ready for traffic at scale.

Use Cases

Where this applies.

DTC brand launch

A complete Shopify store for direct-to-consumer brands — custom theme, product photography layout, subscription options, and email capture flows optimized for first-purchase conversion.

Wholesale & B2B storefronts

Shopify Plus stores with tiered pricing, minimum order quantities, purchase order workflows, and separate wholesale customer portals.

Subscription commerce

Recurring product subscriptions with flexible delivery schedules, subscription management portals, and churn-reduction workflows.

Headless Shopify (Hydrogen)

Custom-built storefronts using Shopify's Hydrogen framework for brands that need complete design freedom and performance beyond what Liquid themes can deliver.

Common Challenges

Problems we solve.

Problem

Your store looks like every other Shopify store

Solution

We build custom themes from scratch — not modified free themes. Your store gets a unique visual identity that matches your brand and differentiates you from competitors.

Problem

Checkout abandonment is eating your revenue

Solution

We optimize every step of the checkout flow — guest checkout, express payments, trust badges, shipping calculator placement — and A/B test to find the highest-converting configuration.

Problem

You need functionality no Shopify app provides

Solution

We build custom Shopify apps with the Admin API and Storefront API — product configurators, custom pricing engines, loyalty programs, and workflow automations.

Problem

Your theme is slow on mobile

Solution

We audit Liquid rendering, optimize image loading, reduce JavaScript bundle size, and implement performance best practices — targeting sub-3-second mobile load times.
