What design solves
Editorial polish up top, template defaults everywhere else. Collection and product pages are where the brand either holds or falls apart.
Fit, materials, sizing, shipping, returns — the questions that stall a purchase are rarely on the page where they get asked.
Menus that mirror internal categories rather than how customers describe what they want.
Most of the revenue arrives on a phone. Designs that only resolve at desktop widths quietly cost the majority of sessions.
Beautiful comps with no system behind them mean every new campaign page drifts further from the original.
Contrast, focus states, and keyboard flow are cheap to design in and expensive to retrofit — and legally exposed either way.
What we help with
Home, collection, product, cart, and account — designed as one journey, with the templates that carry revenue treated as the priority.
Merchandising, filtering, imagery, and copy structured so shoppers can compare, decide, and buy without leaving to research.
Components, tokens, and flexible theme sections so your team ships new pages that still look like the brand.
WCAG-informed contrast, focus, and interaction states designed in from the start — better for everyone, safer for you.
What's included
Scoped to your catalog and stack — and usually paired with Shopify development, conversion optimization, or SEO.
Our process
01
Analytics, session recordings, customer feedback, and your commercial goals — before anyone opens a design file.
02
Architecture and wireframes for the templates that matter, so the layout argument happens before the visual one.
03
Visual design and a component system, reviewed in real content and real breakpoints rather than perfect mockups.
04
The same team develops it, then keeps improving it against real behaviour after launch.

FAQ
Both, and that's the point. Designers and developers work on the same project from discovery, so nothing gets designed that can't be built well, and nothing gets quietly simplified during development.
Only if it's done blind. We baseline your current performance, protect the pages and content that already earn revenue and rankings, and treat the redesign as a series of measurable changes rather than a single leap of faith.
We work with whatever exists. Most projects extend a brand into ecommerce rather than replace it — defining the digital half a print-first identity never covered. If the brand itself is the limitation, we'll say so.
Most storefront design and build projects run 10 to 16 weeks depending on catalog complexity, integrations, and how much content is being rewritten alongside the design.
Yes. We build flexible theme sections and content models so marketers can build campaign pages, swap imagery, and launch products without a developer. Documentation and training are part of handover.
Either. Full rebuilds make sense when the foundation is fighting you. Otherwise we prioritize the templates that carry the most revenue — home, collection, product, cart — and ship them incrementally.
