Custom Shopify Theme Development

A custom Shopify theme is worth 10–30 percent conversion rate uplift over a stock Dawn or paid theme. We build Shopify themes in Online Store 2.0 with Liquid, JSON templates, section groups and metafields — so your merchandising team can compose new pages without ever touching code.

Why this matters
  • Online Store 2.0 with section groups and JSON templates
  • Bespoke product pages tailored to your buying journey
  • Native metafield support for rich content
  • Liquid + JavaScript performance budget under 100KB
  • Full editing flexibility for merchandisers

Why stock themes hit a ceiling

Stock themes are built for the average of 4 million stores. Your buyers are not average. Custom themes let you tune product detail pages, PLPs, cart drawers and checkout messaging to your exact category and price point — the single biggest CRO lever most stores never pull.

Our Shopify theme stack

Liquid + Tailwind + Alpine.js keeps the JavaScript footprint tiny while giving us modern editor ergonomics. All builds ship with a Git repo, staging store and preview URLs, so releases are safe and reviewable.

What's included

Online Store 2.0 JSON templates Metafields Liquid + Alpine.js Section groups

Frequently asked questions

  • Both are valid. For most brands we start from Dawn (Shopify's reference theme) and customise heavily — you inherit Shopify's engineering rigour and reduce maintenance risk.

  • Yes — Online Store 2.0 section groups and metafields let merchandisers compose new pages safely. We document what's safe to edit vs. what to route to us.
