Bespoke Shopify Build

A bespoke Shopify storefront, built the way we build Magento ones: UX designed before the visual design starts, a custom Liquid theme rather than a bought one, and the integrations behind the catalogue treated as part of the build.

The platform makes every store easy to build, and therefore easy to build badly. The parts that decide whether people buy - the category experience, the product page, the path to checkout - are the parts a bought theme cannot know anything about.

The platform handles the plumbing. The storefront is still your job.

No servers to patch, no upgrade projects, no end-of-life dates to plan around, and a checkout that converts well out of the box. For a lot of merchants that is worth more than the flexibility they give up.

What you are buying from us is the part Shopify does not do: a storefront drawn for your catalogue, and the discipline to keep it fast as it grows.

    Good fit if

  • ✓ You want the platform maintained for you
  • ✓ Your catalogue and fulfilment are straightforward
  • ✓ You are on a bought theme and it shows
  • ✓ You would rather spend budget on the storefront than the stack

    Worth a conversation first if

  • ? You need logic the platform will not let you change
  • ? Your pricing, catalogue or tax rules are genuinely complex
  • ? You already run Magento and it is working
  • ? You need to own the whole platform rather than rent it

What the build includes

Custom Liquid theme

Drawn for your catalogue and built from scratch, not a marketplace theme with the colours changed.

UX before visual design

Journeys, wireframes and prototypes first, by the same team that then writes the code.

App discipline

Every app justified. Each one adds front-end weight and a monthly fee, and most stores carry several they have stopped using.

Core Web Vitals

Measured on your own field data and tuned before launch, not assumed because the platform is hosted.

Integrations

ERP, 3PL, CRM and email connected properly, with the events tracked from day one.

Migration and redirects

Catalogue, content, URLs and SEO carried across, with rankings monitored either side of the switch.
