Why leading companies choose us
What you get that a generic shopify development vendor does not.
Built for stores past the theme stage
When an off-the-shelf theme is the constraint rather than the shortcut, this is the work. Hire Shopify developers who have been building on the platform since 2013.
Speed treated as revenue
Core Web Vitals budgeted and measured, because on a storefront latency is a conversion number.
Merchant-editable by design
Sections and settings your marketing team can change without a ticket to us.
Migrations without losing rankings
URL mapping, redirects and structured data planned before the cutover, not diagnosed after it.
App choices we argue with you about
Every installed app costs performance. We will tell you when custom is cheaper than the subscription.
Checkout that respects the platform
We build within Shopify's rules rather than fighting them, so upgrades do not break the store.
How we build
Shopify Development built on foundations that hold
Online Store 2.0 architecture
Sections everywhere, JSON templates and metafields, so merchandising is configuration rather than development.
Performance budgets
Third-party scripts, image strategy and bundle size controlled deliberately, then monitored after launch.
Structured data and feeds
Product schema and shopping feeds set up correctly, because that is what AI answer engines and Shopping read.
Safe deploys
Theme changes go through review and staging rather than being edited live on a trading store.
What you get
- E-commerce UI/UX with organic traffic in mind — compelling product descriptions, mobile-friendliness, and easy navigation that converts visitors into buyers
- Site optimization — faster loading, reduced cart abandonment, and flawless performance across devices and browsers
- Conversion rate improvements through cross-selling, targeted pop-ups, restock labels, and streamlined checkout flows
- WooCommerce stores for budget-friendly, highly customizable WordPress-based e-commerce
- Custom e-commerce web apps with a React/Vue front-end and Node.js/Express back-end for complete control
Custom shopify development for you
The capability most clients come to us for, and the work that surrounds it.
Our flagship capability
Custom Shopify theme development
A theme built from your design rather than a marketplace template bent into shape — every section schema-driven so your team can merchandise without a developer, and fast enough to hold its Core Web Vitals under real traffic.
Key features
- Pixel-accurate build from your design
- Every section merchant-editable
- Core Web Vitals held under load
- Metafield-driven product content
- Clean upgrade path on Shopify releases
01
Shopify Plus and B2B
As a Shopify Plus agency: wholesale catalogues, customer-specific pricing, multi-storefront setups and the flows that come with selling to businesses.
02
Store migration
Moving to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, Etsy or a custom build — with the URLs, redirects, SEO and order history intact.
03
Custom apps and integrations
Private apps connecting your ERP, 3PL or CRM when no existing app fits the workflow.
04
Conversion and performance work
Diagnosing where the current store loses sales, then fixing the causes rather than guessing — the CRO work that moves revenue without a rebuild.
How we work
Every stage, and what it produces
The same nine stages on every engagement. What changes is what each one has to answer for shopify development.
Business evaluation
01We start from your commercial numbers: AOV, conversion rate and where the funnel leaks.
Information gathering
02Access to the current store, analytics, app stack and the catalogue as it really is.
Consultation
03A session on what belongs in the theme, in an app, or nowhere at all.
Designing the UI
04Design implemented section by section, each one configurable in the theme editor.
User experience
05Journeys tested on mobile first, because that is where most of the revenue arrives.
Tech inspection
06An audit of installed apps and their performance cost before we add anything.
Development
07Built on a development theme, reviewed in staging, never edited on the live store.
QA and testing
08Cross-browser, cross-device and checkout testing, plus a redirect map for migrations.
Support and care
09Documentation for your merchandising team and a monitored window after go-live.
Everything we hand over at the end is listed on the handoff page.

Client reviews
What our clients are saying
Reviews from clients we have delivered for.
Got questions? We have answers.
- Liquid themes work great for most stores — fast to build, easy to maintain. Go headless only if you need a highly custom frontend, multi-storefront architecture, or blazing-fast performance on a high-traffic site.
For agencies
White-label Shopify development for agencies
We already build Shopify under other agencies' brands. If you sell storefronts, CRO or email and subcontract the build, you get a senior bench without carrying it on payroll — working in your repo, on your process, under your name.
- NDA-backed. Work ships under your brand, and we never approach your client.
- Named engineer and a named project manager, not a rotating pool.
- Overlap hours with US, UK and EU time zones.
- No minimum hours — take a single theme fix or a full build.
- Senior developers only. No junior handoff after the pitch.
No obligation, no deck
