Shopify store builds
Full store builds from scratch or a replatform. We handle design, development, data migration and launch, with a performance-first approach every time.
// Services / Shopify development
Shopify stores that actually convert.
We build Shopify stores that generate revenue, not just traffic. From custom themes to headless storefronts and POS integrations, we architect commerce that scales with your brand, not against it. Melbourne based, building for brands across the Macedon Ranges and Australia-wide.
// What we do
Every kind of Shopify build.
Most agencies do one or two things. We do the whole stack, from strategy and design through to launch and ongoing optimisation.
Headless storefronts
Hydrogen, Next.js or custom. We build headless Shopify experiences that load in under a second and give you full design control without losing the Shopify back end you already know.
Theme customisation
Extending an existing theme? We go deeper than most. Custom sections, new functionality and Liquid development that does not create technical debt.
POS integration
Shopify POS connected to your retail operations, stock management and customer data. No more spreadsheet exports, just one live system.
Performance audits
We forensically analyse your current store: speed, conversion rate, checkout drop-off, technical errors. You get a prioritised fix list with the expected revenue impact for each item.
App development
Private Shopify apps built specifically for your business. Bulk operations, custom workflows, staff tools, whatever your store needs that the App Store does not have.
Doing serious volume and need enterprise features, dedicated infrastructure and Plus-only APIs? That is a different tier of build. See our Shopify Plus development for brands scaling past the core plan.
// How we work
No surprises. Just results.
-
01 Brief
Discovery & strategy
We do not start building until we understand your business goals, technical constraints and what success looks like. This session saves weeks of rework.
-
02 Design
Design & architecture
High-fidelity designs for every key page, reviewed with you before a single line of code is written. Architecture decisions documented and agreed upfront.
-
03 Build
Development & QA
Ying builds it, Tim reviews it, and you get weekly check-ins. We do not disappear for weeks. You see real progress every sprint.
-
04 Launch
Launch & handover
Zero-downtime launch, full documentation and training for your team. We stick around post-launch to catch anything that needs tuning.
Weekly check-ins, a zero-downtime launch, and we are still here after go-live.
// Straight answers
Shopify questions, answered.
Do you build on Shopify Plus as well?
Yes. This page covers core Shopify development. If you need enterprise features, dedicated infrastructure and Plus-only APIs, head to our Shopify Plus development tier.
How long does a build take?
Most builds ship in around six weeks. Timelines depend on scope, but we agree a schedule upfront and hold weekly check-ins so you always know where things stand.
Can you migrate my existing store?
Yes. Replatforms and migrations are part of what we do. We handle design, development and data migration, then launch with zero downtime.
Where are you based?
Melbourne. We build for brands across the Macedon Ranges and Australia-wide, and we are happy to work remotely wherever you are.
